The Wyatt Sicks made its much-anticipated return to WWE television last month. The faction has since targeted the entire tag team division, wiping it out on two consecutive editions of the blue brand's show.

The go-home episode of Friday Night SmackDown ahead of Money in the Bank featured a vignette from Sicks’ leader, Uncle Howdy, who put the entire tag team division on his radar, saying their loyalties would be tested. Despite the stable's blockbuster return, many fans and experts feel something has been missing.

In this listicle, we will look at three reasons why WWE has already fumbled The Wyatt Sicks:


#3. Montez Ford and The Street Profits seemingly didn't take Uncle Howdy's promo seriously

Bo Dallas cut a passionate promo about him and his faction targeting the entire tag team division, even referencing Bray Wyatt and claiming that his loss had reunited the family. The screen cut directly to the backstage area where SmackDown’s tag team division was watching the promo on television. However, Montez Ford and The Street Profits in general seemed unbothered with Howdy’s promo.

The fearsome faction must be booked carefully, as its entire essence could be ruined in just a moment. The Wyatt Sicks needs to look like a real threat, and Ford cracking jokes at its expense is something that the Triple H-led creative team should have avoided.


#2. Alexa Bliss is not working with The Wyatt Sicks

Alexa Bliss has been a massive fan favorite since her return to WWE. Every time she appears, the crowd erupts. She is also a huge favorite to win the Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match for the second time in her career.

However, following her return to weekly programming earlier this year, The Goddess was expected to join Uncle Howdy and Co. and add a new element to the fearsome stable, as it lacks much-needed nostalgic and emotional depth, which only Bliss can add.

Given her history with Bray Wyatt, Alexa Bliss not being added to the group is a big mistake that The Game has seemingly made.


#1. Uncle Howdy and Co. are again stuck in the midcard

The Wyatt Sicks' return garnered massive buzz, as the crowd erupted upon the faction's return to weekly programming last month. However, the eerie group is again positioned in the midcard picture and is tasked with building a feud with the tag team division.

WWE could have effectively used The Wyatt Sicks' hype by having Howdy and Co. target some major names. The creative team could have also booked the stable in a feud with the new Bloodline. This could have ultimately led to a high-profile singles feud between Uncle Howdy and Jacob Fatu.
