What could ‘JNV’ mean, letters shared by Bray Wyatt on WWE RAW?

Almost 18 months after making his last appearance on WWE RAW, Bray Wyatt made his presence felt at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn during the show's latest episode. Rumors of his appearance had been making the rounds before the show even aired.

The former Universal Champion made a shocking return at WWE Extreme Rules 2022 on October 8. His appearance came after weeks of QR codes and vignettes being churned out by the promotion. The Eater of Worlds came out to a raucous ovation after the main event between Matt Riddle and Seth Rollins ended.

However, instead of an in-ring return on the season premiere of RAW, a cryptic promo vignette aired where he reiterated his catchphrase, "Revel in what you are."

"I used to think that the prison inside my head was the only place that I could ever truly be free. Revel in what you are [six times]."

Backstage on WWE RAW, fans also noticed a QR code which led to a puzzle. Upon connecting the dots, it revealed the letters 'JNV' as well as a symbol. The letters served as a backdrop for the cult-like symbol and appeared to be a foreshadowing of Wyatt's stable.

The common belief is that the letters correspond to their value within the alphabetical order. This gives us 10/14/22 or October 14, 2022, which is the date for the upcoming episode of SmackDown at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Another theory is that the letters were the initials of the real-life names of potential 'Wyatt 6' members. It could also be a teaser for a superstar who will join Bray Wyatt's faction in the future, much like the White Rabbit clues on WWE RAW and SmackDown leading to The Eater of Worlds' return.

What is next for Bray Wyatt after WWE RAW?

WWE is promoting the return of Bray Wyatt on SmackDown, reinforcing the widespread assumption of the 'JNV' clue. This will serve as a prelude to his plans following WWE RAW.

Several exciting scenarios are possible for the upcoming show. The Eater of Worlds could release another promo hinting at his intentions while also hyping his eventual return to the squared circle. He could also actively seek out superstars interested in joining his stable.

The return of the Firefly Fun House on SmackDown is another interesting direction that the promotion could take. Bray Wyatt could target Liv Morgan as his first ally. The company teased a heel turn for the former SmackDown Women's Champion after her title loss to Ronda Rousey at Extreme Rules.

Morgan's recent behavior and her social media activities are ominous hints of a transition to the dark side along with The Fiend. Many consider her fit to play the role of Abby the Witch.
