With the various QR codes recently seen on WWE TV tying into the upcoming return of Uncle Howdy, there's now somewhat of an update on all of this.

As per PWInsider, Howdy and his new faction were slated to film vignettes this week ahead of finally being unveiled on WWE TV. While it's not outright confirmed at this time, there is a belief that this group could appear on next week's Raw.

Where it pertains to members, it's still being reported that Uncle Howdy will be joined by Nikki Cross, Erick Rowan, Dexter Lumis, and Joe Gacy. Of course, there has also been plentiful speculation Alexa Bliss may end up as part of this faction, with Bliss obviously having plenty of ties to Bray Wyatt.

It's worth noting, the most recent QR code leads to a website with a countdown clock that's due to expire on Monday 17 June - next week's post-Clash at the Castle episode of Raw - complete with messages such as "Your patience will be rewarded. Your impatience will be punished" and "You refused salvation. The reckoning is inevitable."
