WWE is doing a splendid job of making fans curious about some of the cryptic messages aired in the promotion. While The Wyatt Sicks’ debut has added intensity to the series of cryptic messages aired in WWE, the recently revealed vignette on the latest episode of Monday Night Raw on September 23 has again sparked curiosity and a strong buzz among fans. Following the message that appeared on the Red brand, an eagle-eyed fan has seemingly decoded the meaning behind the cryptic vignette.

While the whole ordeal has been food for thought for fans with easter eggs hidden deep inside the messages, an X user (formerly Twitter) who goes by the name of Sam, has seemingly decoded the meaning of the message aired on September 23. WWE has presented a teaser in the episode featuring a burning ring of fire on the screen. After rotating slowly, it revealed three letters, “P,” “F,” and “R.” With the fading flame, the promo ended but it left fans in a guessing game.


The X user shared that PFR can mean “WAR” in the Elder Futhark language which is the oldest form of the Runic alphabet. The user further pointed out that the message refers to the Viking Raiders teasing their potential return anytime soon.
It is possible that the team of Raymond Rowe Jr. and Todd Smith also known as Erik and Ivar may return to WWE soon. Ivar was out of the promotion for quite a while now as the superstar previously sustained a neck injury. Following his absence, his tag team partner Erik was eventually sidelined after a few appearences. The tag partner last appeared together in September 2023 during their brawl against Alpha Academy in a Denver Street Fight but lost the match. In November, Erik revealed that he was recovering from neck fusion surgery which he said was quite serious.
If the message decoded by the fan came to be true, The Viking Raiders could make their WWE return in the coming days.
