WWE continues to build toward a huge angle with QR codes. The trend continued during this week’s episode of RAW.

During Ilja Dragunov’s entrance before his match against Ricochet, another QR code appeared on the screen. Michael Cole, once again, pointed it out, saying, “there’s that damn QR code, again.”

The QR code this week led to a video featuring a woman who had been reported missing. In the video, she spoke about her captor, stating she was never in any harm and was happy that he “set her free.”

Upcoming Stable

A lot of hype is growing about Uncle Howdy’s new stable, with Joe Gacy, Dexter Lumis, Nikki Cross, and Erick Rowan reportedly involved. Fans are eagerly awaiting the debut of this new faction.

The teases began at the end of the Bray Wyatt: Becoming Immortal documentary, suggesting someone might continue Wyatt’s legacy. With Bo Dallas taking on the Uncle Howdy character, Wyatt’s story may carry on in this way.

WWE has strategically placed these hints across various platforms, including their WWE 2K24 video game. We will continue to monitor for any new updates on this unfolding storyline.

A new Wyatt Family may be on the horizon, but when and who will exactly show up representing the renewed faction?

A lot of actual signs in the form of QR codes and trailers greatly indicate that Bo Dallas will be returning to WWE television, perhaps in the form of himself or the mysterious Uncle Howdy. However, a new report from PWInsider has a list of names rumored to join the late Bray Wyatt’s younger brother.

As of now, currently on tap to be in the new faction (whatever they may be called) are four other names. Nikki Cross, Dexter Lumis, Joe Gacy and Erick Rowan are all slated to be in the new Wyatt Family fold. All of those mentioned names have previous experience as faction members with Cross being apart of Sanity, Gacy leading The Schism, Dexter Lumis as a member of The Way and Rowan of course as an original member of The Wyatt Family.

The Codes And Rumors Surrounding Bo Dallas’ Return

 WWE started a cryptic campaign in the weeks up to WrestleMania 40 with the first teaser of a Bo Dallas return being at the end of the Bray Wyatt documentary trailer. Ever since, QR codes have popped up for fans to scan and an ominous tune titled “Nightbird” has began playing before and during WWE live events.

The most recent reference was quite direct for Bo Dallas as a QR code appeared on the 5/3 episode of WWE SmackDown. The code directed fans to a Backlash trailer before turning into something creepy that had the quote ‘He opened his arms. Our pain became his. We were reborn. Because we BOlieved.’

Joe Gacy got rocked during his match against Oba Femi on this week’s 4/2 episode of NXT. WWE officials checked him out for a concussion, a serious injury that would have put him out of action and affected plans for Saturday’s NXT Stand and Deliver premium live event.

Femi dominated the match, which ended awkwardly after he delivered a slam that saw Gacy’s head bounce off the mat. The referee intervened and called off the match after determining Gacy was unable to continue.

The official threw up the ‘X’ sign to request immediate medical attention for a potential injury. According to Fightful Select, there was legitimate concern that Gacy may have suffered a concussion. He was able to leave the ringside area on his feet and is still scheduled to compete this weekend.

WWE has extensive concussion protocols and Gacy will likely be undergoing further medical evaluation int he days ahead.

Gacy Injury Scare Leads to Changes

WWE intended to announce Gacy vs. Shawn Spears for Stand and Deliver after the Gacy vs. Femi, but changed course due to the unexcited finish. Later in the show, Gacy approached NXT General Manager Ava and demanded a match with Spears, which was granted.

This backstage segment was reportedly rushed and another planned segment involving Femi, Dijak and Josh Briggs was scrapped entirely. These three will battle for Femi’s NXT North American championship on Saturday.

NXT Stand & Deliver 2024 takes place this Saturday, April 6 at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, PA, mere hours before WrestleMania Saturday kicks off from Lincoln Financial Field.

WWE Superstars give their all for fans in the ring. Joe Gacy is an NXT Superstar with a ton of potential. Sadly, he has also experienced a great loss in recent memory, and he shared it with fans as well.

Joe Gacy Shares His Loss

Joe Gacy got on Twitter/X to announce that his beloved cat has died. He let everyone know with a post that included a photo of his feline friend.

The caption was very simple, as Joe just let everyone know the terrible situation he’s going through. He did not include any information about what happened, but it is clear that the former Schism leader is grieving.

We lost our boy today

Joe Gacy received a flood of responses after this sad post. Sympathy was coming in from fans and his coworkers in NXT as well. Obviously, they feel for him during this sad time of loss.

What’s Next For Joe Gacy

Joe Gacy’s character in NXT has been going through some changes after Schism broke up. He did some strange promos and is now getting involved in angles again on his own. Ava, the only remaining member of the stable, is now GM of the NXT brand.

Our thoughts are with Joe Gacy as he makes it through this terrible incident. For more updates from the pro wrestling world, please keep checking back with SE Scoops.

WWE NXT 2.0 Superstar Joe Gacy has said his character is completely different to two-time former Universal Champion Bray Wyatt.

Wyatt was released in July 2021, over two years after introducing his ‘Firefly Funhouse’ character as well as The Fiend.

Like Wyatt, Gacy’s character has proven to be unnerving with his promos and mannerisms, but the young Superstar explained to Fightful.com how they are different.

“For me, it’s completely something else. I would say that, what I’m doing, it’s always been there for me, I just have never had a platform like this to display it. I tried to go about it one way before I came to WWE and, very quickly, you have to introduce yourself and explain yourself while also having matches in other areas.

“Coming to WWE, weekly, you have the opportunity to introduce yourself a little bit at a time every Tuesday night. For me, it’s always been there and always been in here [points to head], it’s just coming out slowly.”

Gacy debuted in NXT 2.0 as part of the show’s relaunch in September 2021 and has been a main eventer as part of the brand.

At WWE NXT In Your House, Gacy lost in the main event to NXT Champion Bron Breakker.

Per the stipulation, Gacy would have won the title had Breakker been disqualified.
