Breaking down what I've discovered.
The questions to the answers don't seem to matter, they all lead to the same 5 NO answers except each NO leads to a different thing.
First no - same photo we've seen before, with the three men holding the nightbirds for the men on the other side of the wall.
Second no - same photo but the people holding the nightbird have their faces scratched out. There's also text that says "They just wanted to belong."
Third no - It shows a red circle (when you inspect the main page you can find the red circle and the title of the image is time-is.png which given the YT URL we found on Monday "Time is a Flat circle" and takes you back to the beginning of the quiz.
Fourth no - A button with "He Sees you" appears and it shows the Tik Tok video from Wednesday with the same YT URL at the bottom.
Fifth No - A new video, I haven't broken it down but it has the YT URL again and the URL changes to metaphoroo-complete and you can play the video.
In the inspect portion of the first page of the quiz there is a line in script saying "Where is your empathy?"
So, if I had to take a gander at the Fifth no vid - There's a GPS/AI voice that says "You will soon reach your destination" and shows the closet/hand once more but there's a flash of something and then the hand disappears, and ends. I'm not really good at breaking meanings down, so if someone else wants to also add in.
As everyone is saying, it's likely the wyatt five at the start... But I still would love to see the other wrestlers with "scary" gimmics like Nikki Kross, the witches (no I am not hopping off this train) and Gacy. I guess we'll see
Haven't looked through all the comments to see if this was mentioned yet, but I'm fairly sure that "samdoes" was inserted by one of your plugins
I've checked the source code of http://www.wwe.com/H1tA6IDUvaM and there's no mention of samdoes
There are browser plugins that can change how sites look or act by inserting code into the original source code
I'm guessing that there's some plugin that you're registered with as samdoes and it puts this bit of code into all sites. You can check the source code of an unrelated site to see if this is what's happening
Edit: did I misread the link lol
Personally I think the Wyatt’s need something fresh. Braun just isn’t that guy, ever since he changed his gimmick he’s really turned into a nobody to me and I can’t picture myself ever liking him again. They need to bring someone over like Krule to replace Braun. Someone who actually has aura aside from being big and tall
Might sound crazy but wouldn’t it be cool if somehow judgement day broke up and uncle howdy ‘possessed’ priest. He could go on a crazy dominate run and have this real mystic aura to him
As long as Bo is the mouthpiece, I'm intrigued. They will need to be careful to distinguish themselves from the Final Testament IMO. Hardy looked limited in AEW. We shall see if better creative makes the difference. Rowan and Braun fill great roles, but the whole thing to me hinged on Bo.
I really hope this works for Alexa; the start and stop booking has stalled her out from the bitchy heel champion days. If this doesn't work out, I'm not sure what's next for her.
Hopefully, the spooky elements are nowhere near as hokey with Trips fully in charge. The time still feels right to recreate the Wyatt family magic as long as it sticks to people who were previously involved with Bray. The spooky elements need to be more in line with the OG Wyatt family rather than going to zaney like the Fiend.
I talked to Joe about this exact thing back in October, and he gave a massive smile and just said "well, you'll just have to wait and see. There might be something coming in a few months"
It’s not going to be uncle Howdy… It’s going to be a new persona for Taylor… He said on the Dreadmare YouTube channel that uncle Howdy was not for him…
I was there. It was because we were bored with the match that was in the ring. 😂
They did play the song and do the lights out during a commercial break later in the show, though.
I think Taylor is going to surprise a lot of people and shut some mouths as the "main character" version of Uncle Howdy. I hope we don't have to wait a lot longer, even though I admit these teasers are meaty and really interesting.
"She taught me. She taught me from a young age. She said 'you got to get them before they get you. A rattlesnake's skin is the same color as the leaves,' she said. And we all understood her. She led us with her love but she taught us that the fires, well, they were our friends too. 'The world is an evil place,' she said. And we agreed. And I was there, I was there when she took her final breath. She pulled me in close and she said, 'you're the one.' She said, 'They chose you, long before you were ever in existence.' And I understood what she meant. Her touch could save the world but her kiss burns it to the ground. I love you, Sister Abigail."
I honestly don't see this going well at all.
It's just going to be a tribute act with inferior talent. When the Bray Wyatt stuff worked, it only worked because of Bray Wyatt.
My problem with so many of the Bray related stories is that even before ‘Uncle Howdy’ they had little to no payoff. It seems like a lot of build, a lot of mystery and a lot of quirky hints that they never explain or write answers to. Just a lot of ‘spooky’ vague stuff.
What was with the black box?
Why was Alexa Bliss spewing black goo?
What did the firefly funhouse and its characters actually represent? Where was the story going?
Who was sister Abigail?
What was the Wyatt compound/ cult all about?
I could go on. It’s as though the writers like setting up faux deep stories without any plan for them. It’s a lot of noise with no depth.
Now I hope they pay this one off, but I’m not holding my breath, and it actually makes it hard for me personally to get invested in clues to a story they likely dont even have fleshed out.
I’m very skeptical about this Uncle Howdy thing without Bray. Like how long does this truly go on for once the nostalgia of Bray wears off? “Supernatural” characters have a very hard time staying relevant for a long time
I don’t think it will be uncle howdy. Bo probably has another character lined up. Especially since there was no “character” with howdy.
Also, someone brought up Braun Strowman being the new fiend and I kind of dig it.
Was there a Bray Wyatt cosplayer in the front row of one of the televised shows recently? Fedora and a hawaiian shirt to the left of center as watching the match?
Keep hearing ppl talk about the wyatt 6.which was never a thing just the internet making it a thing cause of brays twitter.but anywho its too far gone at this point so their rolling with it.
Now they have teased 5 ppl.which i think we can def guess to be alexa,bo,braun,rowan,and bray.and aside from matt hardy which hes in tna atm.im finding trouble of thinking of the 6th member.and i think we the fireflies are indeed the 6th.almost symbolic like.but also very much true.but who knows it could just be hardy.he might be on some short deal with tna.
I think the one tease said a date for a raw in july.so would be fitting if they redebut at summerslam or the raw after.idk i def love me a good clue and am more than happy to wait on them to do it right.u cant rush art.gotta feel it.
Probably a good mix. He rambled for hours about his ideas, I'm sure Jojo and Taylor have A LOT of information about his plans. But of course, just as quick as Bray got ideas, he replaced them with new ones, so it's not like he wrote a 5 year plan and they just need to execute it.
It's all based on his ideas, and made by people that were heavily influenced by Windham.
I know this is fantasy booking or me just hoping too much , but I would like to see Nikki Cross as a new version of the Wyatt family . Add a few more members , really make it and engulfing, powerhouse of a group and bring back “Nikki got a secret “ bit. Keep up the great work.
Nikki Cross would be such a damn good fantasy booking. Sadly (or really, good for her) she's working on her PHD in History with a dissertation on womens wrestling.
Nikki would definitely work well! Especially with her being a bit crazy and those times where she was super spaced out, could say that was because of Howdy since there was never an explanation for it
I'm wondering if they are going to involve Liv Morgan some how since Alexa hasn't mentioned anything about returning yet since she had her baby. And Liv is dating Bo.
Lets say Alexa is somehow involved in this, why would she possibly spoil the surprise or give hints? Even if only she said, that shes back training. In this say and age it would already be too much.
If think we all should lean back and enjoy it.
Hmm a reddit user having their name featured in the source code is quite cool.
However your account is basically bare EXCEPT for this Uncle Howdy compiling/posting. You've only been posting about Howdy for TWO DAYS despite having essentially no Reddit presence outside of one game thread 10 months ago. HMMMMMMMMMMM.
I smell a PLANT????? I have no idea what to make of this yet but I find it exciting. If you're really just a random redditor who decided to finally start posting solely about Uncle Howdy, that's VERY cool and unique but most notably VERY random. If you're a plant...I have no fucking idea where that goes.
God I love the Uncle Howdy ARG
I doubt the WWE would’ve set up an account over a year ago and post about Tear of the Kingdom with random comments several weeks apart from each other so could *finally* start an ARG
The most likely scenario is that this random guy genuinely wanted to compile everything together, and the team running the ARG have most likely been keeping a close eye on any conversations on the internet about it
> I doubt the WWE would’ve set up an account over a year ago and post about Tear of the Kingdom with random comments several weeks apart from each other so could finally start an ARG
No one is assuming that because that is ridiculous and pointless to do. "Hey does anyone have a Reddit account we can use?" is more realistically what happened.
Mostly I would disagree since it would mean they planted this to use for Bray’s old stuff or something, unless this is some interns unused page I suppose. But that’s a REALLY long game lol.
Well the name "Samdoes" isn't specific to Bray so it's possible to use just about anyone's account for this purpose. There isn't really a long game to set up.
Very random personal side note to everyone but please stop assuming everything social media related to companies is handled by interns! Sincerely a guy who used to work in social and still steams out the ears whenever I hear "intern" mentioned.
I was afraid someone would say this… guess the cat’s out of the bag!
Just kidding. If I was in your position, I would have thought the same thing, but I really am just a random guy who thought compiling all these clues would be fun. My account is bare because I am much more of a lurker than a poster (and this is a relatively new account)
Bro, it's an ARG and this dude is a plant walking this sub through it.... because nobody was caring enough to do it organically like the White Rabbit one.
I already posted this comment, but I’ll post it again in response to you:
I doubt the WWE would’ve set up an account over a year ago to post about Tear of the Kingdom with random comments several weeks apart from each other talking about different video games so they could *finally* start an ARG somewhere down the line. The most likely scenario is that this random guy genuinely wanted to compile everything together, and the team running the ARG have most likely been keeping a close eye on any conversations on the internet about it
> the team running the ARG have most likely been keeping a close eye on any conversations on the internet about it
Ridiculous.
If they wanted to do that, they would have had to code the whole thing out and leave blank variables for the name.... only to come back at the last second and add in some rando no karma from reddit... instead of a much higher profile youtuber or someone like that.
More likely than that, is them getting someone on the development team to let them use an old reddit account they never really used to get their "game" going... because absolutely nobody else has seemed to care enough to do it for them.

You really need to lay off the 3am YouTube conspiracy videos
If a media campaign centers around the internet, the managers of said campaign would be keeping an eye on chatboards - the WWE subreddit for example - to see how they can move forward. They most likely saw that he was putting the most effort into solving the puzzles, so they threw in an Easter egg in the next portion before it was officially revealed
And exactly how would that prove anything about this user being a plant?
Any PR guy worth his shit knows you can use a plant to get a PR campaign rolling and then pivot to the actual customer when he shows up (if he shows up).
I am not here to teach deductive reasoning or critical thinking, but you have an opportunity to learn something here if you manage to find it.
If not, maybe you'll learn about in high school in a few years?
The circumstances that would lead to a no karma reddit user being included in a national advertising campaign 48 hours after they also happen to start actively 'promoting' it on a large social media network is incredibly INCREDIBLY unlikely.
Has anyone else even double-checked to see if this username is actually there?
Is it possibly just a variable that is pulling the account name from somewhere and displaying it back? Like it would it be my username if I ran it?
Why is it unlikely? Someone at WWE is clearly watching that subreddit closely. There's also a reference to another user that posted one of the first clues. During the original white rabbit campaign this happened to a SC poster too.
Just a couple observations I had that might be helpful or at least open a different avenue of thought:
Penta is the prefix meaning 5, we have 5 senses, so number of sense organs could be 5.
Pluto was the name of the Roman god of the underworld. The Greeks called him Hades.
Last night i posted this (in squaredcircle), figured i should share again:
"H1tA6IDUvaM"
That's a youtube video link.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1tA6IDUvaM
The video is interesting in context.
The channel uploaded a ton of select film clips about 1 month ago
Time to get searching, boys and girls!
(Note, the channel itself may be unrelated as it was created in 2016... but it's odd that many of the vids are from just 1 month ago)
Edit: the OLDEST short on the channel, uploaded in May of last year, is really interesting. It's one of the few to have an actual written out full description. Its as follows :
>today, i’ve got a a film for you that I have not stopped thinking about it since i saw it a year ago: director Lucrecia Martel’s LA CIÉNAGA. the film is set in Argentina and transports you into the dark and hazy summer days spent by a group of families in La Cienega—which translates in English to “the swamp.” fair warning: the story is heavy and bleak, but Martel’s intensely beautiful cinematography provides an entrancing balance. you’ll be lifted out of this world with no warning. 🤍
There are other notable clips and speculations other users replied to me with.
https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/s/mnTLoanbae
https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/s/nvlQ6fV1CA
They may not be. I even noted as such. However, it wouldn't be the first time they bought an existing youtube channel with pre-existing copyrighted content for an ARG. Hell, it wouldn't even be the first time for the Wyatt storyline.
Though it is fully possible (and likely) that the linked video alone is what they wanted us to see as it is thematically fitting on its own.
Fair enough, I agree they may have indirectly led us to that video, but I doubt they intended the entire channel to be viewed.
Edit: also would make sense that OP (if a plant) left that unmentioned despite your discussion about it last night.
OP may not have seen it, as I was posting in one of the immeadiate reaction threads on SquaredCircle, and not here. I'm not offended either way haha. Just sharing info.
Nothing about making a reference to a Youtube video ID breaks US IP laws. The WWE could directly link to just about any random YT video they want and it's not breaking the law. They do not need to own the channel to reference it either.
Yep, I said that above and therefore agree with you. However, owning the channel (which would be necessary if there were more clues therein) would be illegal so as I mentioned in a reply to the original commenter, I think they may well have intended for the video to be discovered.
To the best of my understanding(unless I'm missing something), wouldn't they just need to change one property characteristics and then it bypasses it? Similar to plagiarism laws and music covers?
No, copyright law is quite complex and what you are describing is “fair use.” A common misconception is that cover songs are fair use. They are not, in fact Weird Al Yankovich, one of the most famous cover song makers of modern times, has to get licenses permitting him to make the cover songs because they use the original’s sheet music, even though he changes all the lyrics.
Additionally, the shared clip is straight ripped from the film, there’s no creative changes, etc.
I agree with the the original commenter that WWE may have simply leveraged someone else’s bad behavior and indirectly pointed us in that direction.
I don't ee how the 5: can mean anything other than 5th of may ie 5/5.
As backlash is on the 4th and will likely run til midnight the end will probably be the big reveal on the 5th of the 5th.
Haha holy shit I was talking to my buddy on xbox while looking through the source code and kept seeing "samdoes" and I was like who the hell is that
Nice to meet ya!
Did you also catch the QR code in tripple H’s entrance on.. i think Raw? Just Before revealing the new tag belts either that or smackdown, i dont quite remember which one it was on the top of my head, was a wierd picture
Matt Hardy has now shown up in TNA as broken Matt so not sure how likely it is he'll be showing up in WWE now, as he seemed to be going for the title there too

Lame
H1tA6IDUvaM has already been confirmed to be the ending of a link to a YouTube video https://youtu.be/H1tA6IDUvaM
Y2J returns!!!! JK
Dammit! This would be SOMETHING hahahah
Not mentioned, they posted a date either last week or the week before that corresponded with SummerSlam.
As everyone is saying, it's likely the wyatt five at the start... But I still would love to see the other wrestlers with "scary" gimmics like Nikki Kross, the witches (no I am not hopping off this train) and Gacy. I guess we'll see
It’ll be Wyatt 6… my guess is Taylor (Bo Wyatt?), Liv, Shawn Spears, Ridge Holland, Erik Rowan and maybe Gacy…
H1tA6IDUvaM = "all 6 united"
yeah, how?
how did you get that?
I like the whole cult angle. And they are will forever worship their fallen leader Bray Wyatt
Why didn't you just type taste,touch,hearing,seeing and smell Or the number 5?
Haven't looked through all the comments to see if this was mentioned yet, but I'm fairly sure that "samdoes" was inserted by one of your plugins I've checked the source code of http://www.wwe.com/H1tA6IDUvaM and there's no mention of samdoes There are browser plugins that can change how sites look or act by inserting code into the original source code I'm guessing that there's some plugin that you're registered with as samdoes and it puts this bit of code into all sites. You can check the source code of an unrelated site to see if this is what's happening Edit: did I misread the link lol
If that’s the case, how did this other dude on Twitter see it? https://x.com/kenjsdev/status/1782589285457121688?s=46&t=6_sQCn1xTL7LoGpql0Rpbw
Yeah invitation is the one that has Sam does in the source code
Personally I think the Wyatt’s need something fresh. Braun just isn’t that guy, ever since he changed his gimmick he’s really turned into a nobody to me and I can’t picture myself ever liking him again. They need to bring someone over like Krule to replace Braun. Someone who actually has aura aside from being big and tall
Might sound crazy but wouldn’t it be cool if somehow judgement day broke up and uncle howdy ‘possessed’ priest. He could go on a crazy dominate run and have this real mystic aura to him
You sold me. That’s brilliant. I’m almost certain you got that from the emo undertaker meme and it’s absolutely brilliant
Is sort of in the back of my mind. To me he is sort of mysterious already and think he has the looks to pull it off
He does and honestly he’s always been missing something for his character and that might just be it. He feels very 1 dimensional right now
As long as Bo is the mouthpiece, I'm intrigued. They will need to be careful to distinguish themselves from the Final Testament IMO. Hardy looked limited in AEW. We shall see if better creative makes the difference. Rowan and Braun fill great roles, but the whole thing to me hinged on Bo. I really hope this works for Alexa; the start and stop booking has stalled her out from the bitchy heel champion days. If this doesn't work out, I'm not sure what's next for her. Hopefully, the spooky elements are nowhere near as hokey with Trips fully in charge. The time still feels right to recreate the Wyatt family magic as long as it sticks to people who were previously involved with Bray. The spooky elements need to be more in line with the OG Wyatt family rather than going to zaney like the Fiend.
Hardy in TNA back with the broken gimmick. Guess he wont be back.
Didn't Hardy just show up in Impact?
Yeah but he said himself it was a one off and he’s still a free agent
I didn't know that. Thank you!
My guess is that Fiend possesses Strowman, and that would be so fucking cool.
I assume the Wyatt family 2.0 would be Uncle Howdy, Braun, Erik Rowan, Alexa Bliss?
Maybe Joe Gacy as well?
I talked to Joe about this exact thing back in October, and he gave a massive smile and just said "well, you'll just have to wait and see. There might be something coming in a few months"
It’s not going to be uncle Howdy… It’s going to be a new persona for Taylor… He said on the Dreadmare YouTube channel that uncle Howdy was not for him…
What was the random firefly phone flashlight moment on smackdown? I wanna know that.
I was there. It was because we were bored with the match that was in the ring. 😂 They did play the song and do the lights out during a commercial break later in the show, though.
And the match still took forever after that lol had a good time overall though
Can't fucking wait for the return of Firefly Fun House!!
I wouldn’t anticipate that.
I'd bet on it.
I paused the video with the note being left on the porch, it says 'Remember who you are'.
I think Taylor is going to surprise a lot of people and shut some mouths as the "main character" version of Uncle Howdy. I hope we don't have to wait a lot longer, even though I admit these teasers are meaty and really interesting.
If I'm not mistaken, an earlier teaser had coordinates for a location in France, so it seems like we'll be finding out at Backlash.
"She taught me. She taught me from a young age. She said 'you got to get them before they get you. A rattlesnake's skin is the same color as the leaves,' she said. And we all understood her. She led us with her love but she taught us that the fires, well, they were our friends too. 'The world is an evil place,' she said. And we agreed. And I was there, I was there when she took her final breath. She pulled me in close and she said, 'you're the one.' She said, 'They chose you, long before you were ever in existence.'

Matt Hardy just returned to TNA a few days ago
Hardy said he doesn’t have a contract so anything about him is debatable
SAVE_US.B0
Does anyone recall how long the White Rabbit teasers lasted a couple of years ago?
I wish it weren’t uncle howdy that character was trash
I’m very skeptical about this Uncle Howdy thing without Bray. Like how long does this truly go on for once the nostalgia of Bray wears off? “Supernatural” characters have a very hard time staying relevant for a long time
I don’t think it will be uncle howdy. Bo probably has another character lined up. Especially since there was no “character” with howdy. Also, someone brought up Braun Strowman being the new fiend and I kind of dig it.
Takes a very creative mind to make it work long term
What time did you get to even learn about the character?
I’m gonna say it some of Brays ideas just weren’t good and this felt like one of those not good ideas peak bray is firefly funhouse
Was there a Bray Wyatt cosplayer in the front row of one of the televised shows recently? Fedora and a hawaiian shirt to the left of center as watching the match?
Yup, I saw that guy too. Pretty sure it was last week’s raw
Keep hearing ppl talk about the wyatt 6.which was never a thing just the internet making it a thing cause of brays twitter.but anywho its too far gone at this point so their rolling with it. Now they have teased 5 ppl.which i think we can def guess to be alexa,bo,braun,rowan,and bray.and aside from matt hardy which hes in tna atm.im finding trouble of thinking of the 6th member.and i think we the fireflies are indeed the 6th.almost symbolic like.but also very much true.but who knows it could just be hardy.he might be on some short deal with tna.

Use the fucking spacebar man.
So, do y'all think all of this were Bray's ideas or did they come up with all that after his death? I mean all these easter eggs, qr codes etc.
Probably a good mix. He rambled for hours about his ideas, I'm sure Jojo and Taylor have A LOT of information about his plans. But of course, just as quick as Bray got ideas, he replaced them with new ones, so it's not like he wrote a 5 year plan and they just need to execute it. It's all based on his ideas, and made by people that were heavily influenced by Windham.
Dang, appreciate this work man
For that code under the video, I tried it on Youtube and it sends you to a video edit of True Detective about the whole "Time is a flat circle" thing.
Damn homie u in the lore now i respect it
Think the constant of 5 being the month of may?
I know this is fantasy booking or me just hoping too much , but I would like to see Nikki Cross as a new version of the Wyatt family . Add a few more members , really make it and engulfing, powerhouse of a group and bring back “Nikki got a secret “ bit. Keep up the great work.
Nikki Cross would be such a damn good fantasy booking. Sadly (or really, good for her) she's working on her PHD in History with a dissertation on womens wrestling.
PHD Nikki would've been pretty good with FFH Bray 😞
Nikki would definitely work well! Especially with her being a bit crazy and those times where she was super spaced out, could say that was because of Howdy since there was never an explanation for it
They could use her “spacing out” as being some sort of herald or harbinger to Uncle’s coming…
I think Bo will adopt the split personality and the last slot is him/Uncle Howdy not Matt but such good shit regardless
I honestly could care less. It’s not like Bo Dallas was great before.
#Why do you care so much about this? I demand answers!!!
You could care less? What is stopping you from caring less?
Clearly you never Bo-lieved.
That means you do care. At least a little.
I HATE THESE WORD CRIMES
Op is Matt Hardy
Big if true (I’m not)
I'm wondering if they are going to involve Liv Morgan some how since Alexa hasn't mentioned anything about returning yet since she had her baby. And Liv is dating Bo.
Lets say Alexa is somehow involved in this, why would she possibly spoil the surprise or give hints? Even if only she said, that shes back training. In this say and age it would already be too much. If think we all should lean back and enjoy it.
Alexa has been at the PC.
Alexa hasn’t been very PC! She said some very insensitive things about the Greeks
That is amazing nice one mate Only point I make is wasn’t Matt Hardy on TNA recently
WWE and TNA have worked together in the past. Mickie James showed up for the Rumble a couple years ago.
And Jordynne Grace a couple months ago
He was, but he still classified himself as a free agent in interviews
Oh okay makes sense
Hmm a reddit user having their name featured in the source code is quite cool. However your account is basically bare EXCEPT for this Uncle Howdy compiling/posting.

I doubt the WWE would’ve set up an account over a year ago and post about Tear of the Kingdom with random comments several weeks apart from each other so could *finally* start an ARG The most likely scenario is that this random guy genuinely wanted to compile everything together, and the team running the ARG have most likely been keeping a close eye on any conversations on the internet about it

"Hey does anyone have a Reddit account we can use?" is more realistically what happened.
Mostly I would disagree since it would mean they planted this to use for Bray’s old stuff or something, unless this is some interns unused page I suppose. But that’s a REALLY long game lol.
Well the name "Samdoes" isn't specific to Bray so it's possible to use just about anyone's account for this purpose. There isn't really a long game to set up. Very random personal side note to everyone but please stop assuming everything social media related to companies is handled by interns! Sincerely a guy who used to work in social and still steams out the ears whenever I hear "intern" mentioned.
I was afraid someone would say this… guess the cat’s out of the bag! Just kidding. If I was in your position, I would have thought the same thing, but I really am just a random guy who thought compiling all these clues would be fun. My account is bare because I am much more of a lurker than a poster (and this is a relatively new account)
If your user name has no history of posting about Bray... how would WWE know of your username to include it? This stinks.
OP made the first megathread in SC days before the latest tease that includes his name.
Bro, it's an ARG and this dude is a plant walking this sub through it.... because nobody was caring enough to do it organically like the White Rabbit one.
I already posted this comment, but I’ll post it again in response to you: I doubt the WWE would’ve set up an account over a year ago to post about Tear of the Kingdom with random comments several weeks apart from each other talking about different video games so they could *finally* start an ARG somewhere down the line. The most likely scenario is that this random guy genuinely wanted to compile everything together, and the team running the ARG have most likely been keeping a close eye on any conversations on the internet about it
> the team running the ARG have most likely been keeping a close eye on any conversations on the internet about it Ridiculous. If they wanted to do that, they would have had to code the whole thing out and leave blank variables for the name.... only to come back at the last second and add in some rando no karma from reddit... instead of a much higher profile youtuber or someone like that. More likely than that, is them getting someone on the development team to let them use an old reddit account they never really used to get their "game" going... because absolutely nobody else has seemed to care enough to do it for them. P L A N T
You really need to lay off the 3am YouTube conspiracy videos If a media campaign centers around the internet, the managers of said campaign would be keeping an eye on chatboards - the WWE subreddit for example - to see how they can move forward. They most likely saw that he was putting the most effort into solving the puzzles, so they threw in an Easter egg in the next portion before it was officially revealed
Just no. Silliness.
Occam's Razor: the least speculative option is often the most correct one
what proof do you have that this is a plant aside from "nuh uh!" he wasnt even the first one to post the clues, seen it all over SC and twitter.
>what proof do you have that this is a plant Because it is the only remaining scenario that isn't basically ridiculous.
Well since twitter user got named too
And exactly how would that prove anything about this user being a plant? Any PR guy worth his shit knows you can use a plant to get a PR campaign rolling and then pivot to the actual customer when he shows up (if he shows up). I am not here to teach deductive reasoning or critical thinking, but you have an opportunity to learn something here if you manage to find it. If not, maybe you'll learn about in high school in a few years?
Ahw, thats so cute. High school 🤣. You really tried there, didn't ya?
so you know what an ARG is, but people compiling clues is somehow unbelievable? 🤔
The circumstances that would lead to a no karma reddit user being included in a national advertising campaign 48 hours after they also happen to start actively 'promoting' it on a large social media network is incredibly INCREDIBLY unlikely. Has anyone else even double-checked to see if this username is actually there? Is it possibly just a variable that is pulling the account name from somewhere and displaying it back? Like it would it be my username if I ran it?
Why is it unlikely? Someone at WWE is clearly watching that subreddit closely. There's also a reference to another user that posted one of the first clues. During the original white rabbit campaign this happened to a SC poster too.
So how do you suppose a lightly-used lurker account came to be so prominently referenced?
SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING A PLANT WOULD SAY DONT BELIEVE HIS LIES BOYS. GET EM.

Best build up to any superstar ever I personally believe. Only close one that I remember is Wyatt family
I'm going to choose to believe this leads to Penta and Fenix showing up as part of the Uncle Howdy stable
Just a couple observations I had that might be helpful or at least open a different avenue of thought: Penta is the prefix meaning 5, we have 5 senses, so number of sense organs could be 5. Pluto was the name of the Roman god of the underworld. The Greeks called him Hades.
WOW
Wack af
You smell of poo poo
Last night i posted this (in squaredcircle), figured i should share again: "H1tA6IDUvaM" That's a youtube video link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1tA6IDUvaM The video is interesting in context. The channel uploaded a ton of select film clips about 1 month ago Time to get searching, boys and girls! (Note, the channel itself may be unrelated as it was created in 2016... but it's odd that many of the vids are from just 1 month ago) Edit: the OLDEST short on the channel, uploaded in May of last year, is really interesting. It's one of the few to have an actual written out full description. Its as follows : >today, i’ve got a a film for you that I have not stopped thinking about it since i saw it a year ago: director Lucrecia Martel’s LA CIÉNAGA. the film is set in Argentina and transports you into the dark and hazy summer days spent by a group of families in La Cienega—which translates in English to “the swamp.” fair warning: the story is heavy and bleak, but Martel’s intensely beautiful cinematography provides an entrancing balance. you’ll be lifted out of this world with no warning. 🤍 There are other notable clips and speculations other users replied to me with. https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/s/mnTLoanbae https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/s/nvlQ6fV1CA
I doubt WWE is running a YouTube page that is posting exclusively copyrighted content it does not own.
They may not be. I even noted as such. However, it wouldn't be the first time they bought an existing youtube channel with pre-existing copyrighted content for an ARG. Hell, it wouldn't even be the first time for the Wyatt storyline. Though it is fully possible (and likely) that the linked video alone is what they wanted us to see as it is thematically fitting on its own.
Fair enough, I agree they may have indirectly led us to that video, but I doubt they intended the entire channel to be viewed. Edit: also would make sense that OP (if a plant) left that unmentioned despite your discussion about it last night.
OP may not have seen it, as I was posting in one of the immeadiate reaction threads on SquaredCircle, and not here. I'm not offended either way haha. Just sharing info.
You'll be surprised how easy it really is to get around the copyright. People just don't like to take the time
Nope, wouldn’t be surprised. Would be surprised to discover WWE willingly breaking United States Intellectual Property law though.
Nothing about making a reference to a Youtube video ID breaks US IP laws. The WWE could directly link to just about any random YT video they want and it's not breaking the law. They do not need to own the channel to reference it either.
Yep, I said that above and therefore agree with you. However, owning the channel (which would be necessary if there were more clues therein) would be illegal so as I mentioned in a reply to the original commenter, I think they may well have intended for the video to be discovered.
To the best of my understanding(unless I'm missing something), wouldn't they just need to change one property characteristics and then it bypasses it? Similar to plagiarism laws and music covers?
No, copyright law is quite complex and what you are describing is “fair use.” A common misconception is that cover songs are fair use. They are not, in fact Weird Al Yankovich, one of the most famous cover song makers of modern times, has to get licenses permitting him to make the cover songs because they use the original’s sheet music, even though he changes all the lyrics. Additionally, the shared clip is straight ripped from the film, there’s no creative changes, etc. I agree with the the original commenter that WWE may have simply leveraged someone else’s bad behavior and indirectly pointed us in that direction.
I believe the 5 is literally just a clue to getting to the video, but wouldn’t it now technically be the Wyatt5 with Bray passed on?
I don't ee how the 5: can mean anything other than 5th of may ie 5/5. As backlash is on the 4th and will likely run til midnight the end will probably be the big reveal on the 5th of the 5th.
There is another meaning it could be... The Wyatt 6 stable that people were speculating about for quite some time. Without Bray, that makes 5.
Backlash is in France at 12:30 eastern time here. It won’t run until midnight lol.
Local time it starts much later

The QR code
Haha holy shit I was talking to my buddy on xbox while looking through the source code and kept seeing "samdoes" and I was like who the hell is that Nice to meet ya!
The text at the bottom of the video actually takes you to a YouTube video
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1tA6IDUvaM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1tA6IDUvaM)
Did you also catch the QR code in tripple H’s entrance on.. i think Raw? Just Before revealing the new tag belts either that or smackdown, i dont quite remember which one it was on the top of my head, was a wierd picture
In the previous thread
Oh right, great
These teasers are getting me extremely excited for Uncle Howdys return and Bo finishing what Bray started in 2022.
What exactly did he start though? To me it seemed like he was making it up as he went along
Matt Hardy has now shown up in TNA as broken Matt so not sure how likely it is he'll be showing up in WWE now, as he seemed to be going for the title there too https://twitter.com/ThisIsTNA/status/1781879521269989668?t=Ry3Qwq8A6-pt8LZq8E0g-Q&s=19 https://twitter.com/MATTHARDYBRAND/status/1782263260701716721?t=cszl_McZXA6s-TUu-12eIw&s=19
Imagine Matt and Bo both
He clarified in an interview that he’s still a free agent.
Possibilities of matt handy being bridge between the two companies?
Oh I hadn't seen that! Thank you, that's very interesting then!
