Kay, I just want to start things off by letting you know one alarming fact: The Rottweiler legit said, AND I QUOTE, “I touched the pigskin under the Friday night lights,” during his clue segment on The Masked Singer. Which we can all agree is a sentence everyone wishes they’d never heard. Anyway, the identity of this deranged doggo is one of The Masked Singer’s biggest mysteries (aside from, ya know, what did we do to deserve this show?), and the internet has a few theories. Which, to be honest, are pretty compelling.
But before we get started, here’s a scary GIF to stare at:
^In which dogs, as a species, are ruined.
The Clues
Alright, back to the Rottweiler’s quote about touching pigs and whatever. Chances are, this means he’s a football player versus a weirdo who’s super into farm animals. But aside from that, we know the Rottweiler has a “fantasy champion” ring and that blue roses are especially significant to him.
Unlike other characters who remain a total mystery, there are basically three possible theories in play for this doggo, and one of them is fully nuts, so let’s get right to it.
The Theories
1. Chris Daughtry
I mean, it’s definitely him. The evidence is overwhelming. For starters, YouTube commenters are pointing out that at 00:00:39, the Rottweiler says “It’s not over,” which happens to be the name of one of Chris’s songs—or so people claim. I’m not even going to pretend I knew who Chris Daughtry was before this moment.
But there are even more clues that fans have unpacked. Like, did you know Chris played football before his music career? AND that he has a blue rose tattoo on his shoulder?

He also makes a comment about rising to fame “almost overnight,” which is almost certainly a reference to American Idol, which turned Chris famous literally in the space of one evening.
And on top of alllll that, there are some strong visual hints to consider. In his clue package, the Rottweiler is seen standing in front of a wall with graffiti, and Chris is basically king of “standing in front of a wall” pics. See?!?!?!?

2. Bruno Mars
The judges think the Rottweiler might be Bruno Mars (hahahha, cute), and some corners of Twitter agree. I personally think this theory is garbage, but there are *a few* clues. Like, Bruno played at the Super Bowl halftime show, so there’s definitely a football connection:
And apparently, he owns a rottweiler:

I mean…on the one hand, sure. On the other hand, keep reaching, internet!
3. Robbie Williams
Wow @ everyone being all “Who is Robbie Williams?” right now, because he’s only THE singer of the psychedelic rock group Millennium. In other words, he hasn’t been A-list since 1998, which makes him a perfect contender for this show!!!!
#Rottweiler is Robbie Williams
I have been watching the masked singer. Every time I hear the rottweiler mask all I can think of is robbie williams #rottweilermask#foxtv #TheMaskedSinger #RobbieWilliams
I’m not sure how the clue package hints really fit in here, but apparently, the Rottweiler’s whole ~aesthetic~ reminds fans of Robbie’s lewk, so:
@MaskedSingerFOX rottweiler Robbie Williams?? high-top sneakers, a chunky chain necklace,&a backwards baseballcap you’ll remember that we’ve actually seen Robbie wear a coat like this before: In the main promo photo plastered across his pages on his PR&record label??
Either way, the Rottweiler is a favorite to win this thing, so keep an eye on him until we update this article with the big reveal.
