The WWE Universe was immediately captivated by The Wyatt Sicks' violent arrival last summer. Since then, the up-and-down run has frustrated fans and killed significant interest. The group never debuted on RAW Netflix, and Alexa Bliss still has not joined, but sources have just revealed inside updates ahead of Backlash.
Uncle Howdy and his sinister friends have been missing for almost five months. Howdy went down in mid-December as Bo Dallas waited to be cleared, while others were active until late December: Nikki Cross, aka Abby the Witch, Joe Gacy, aka Huskus the Pig Boy, Dexter Lumis, aka Mercy the Buzzard, and Erick Rowan, aka Ramblin' Rabbit. While fans speculated on The Sicks' Netflix debut, it was announced that they were sent to SmackDown. The change came 115 days ago.
Triple H and his team have not given up on The Wyatt Sicks, and WWE's creative writing team is still planning to re-introduce the mysterious quintet. In regards to The Wyatt Sicks returning to TV, PWN's Cory Hays adds that "soon" and "when the time is right" are the latest words from sources within the company.
Sources have maintained this narrative with recent updates, but it appears officials are finally ready to resume plans for The Wyatt Sicks. Dallas' hiatus forced the initial pause, but when he was cleared a few months ago, it was ruled that The Wyatt Sicks would not return before WrestleMania 41 as creative directions were already decided on. Fightful Select adds that there's no word yet on why they have not returned since 'Mania, but at one point, Alexa Bliss' absence was related as there were still plans for the two to work together.
WWE's Five Feet of Fury returned at the Royal Rumble, and there were recent WWE TV teasers for her long-awaited involvement with Uncle Howdy's faction. Bliss has been away since Elimination Chamber, and while there's no word on her status, rumors have picked up on her and The Sicks returning together.
