The Miz to bring in ghost of Uncle Howdy’s past to teach Wyatt Sicks a lesson in WWE? Exploring the possibility

WWE Superstars The Miz and Carmelo Hayes faced The Street Profits on this week’s episode of SmackDown to earn the number one contender’s spot for the WWE Tag Team Championship. However, The Wyatt Sicks caused a last-second distraction, allowing Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins to win. To get revenge on the eerie faction, The Awesome One could now bring Karrion Kross back to the company.

Kross led his former faction, The Final Testament, against The Wyatt Sicks last year. The Herald of Doomsday recruited The Miz against his will to take Uncle Howdy down, a tactic that worked very well for the former two-time NXT Champion. The Final Testament had the upper hand over The Wyatts nearly the entire time, with the heel faction ending the feud with a win in an eight-man tag team match in December 2024.

Notably, Karrion Kross was released from WWE after his contract expired following the 2025 SummerSlam. However, The Miz might bring him back to the Stamford-based promotion and crush The Wyatt Sicks once again.

WWE has given up on Paul Heyman? Here's the story!

Karrion Kross is extremely popular among the WWE Universe right now. Fans have started a “We Want Kross” movement online, and the chants were even heard in arenas after the 40-year-old’s departure. Thus, it is possible that the company might re-sign him due to popular demand and reunite him with The Miz and against Uncle Howdy once again.

While this is a big possibility, all of this is speculation so far.

The Miz might face the wrath of Uncle Howdy and The Wyatt Sicks again

Last year, Dexter Lumis kidnapped The Miz from his trailer. After this abduction, The Wyatt Sicks posted a tweet on X that showed a screengrab of Bo Dallas. Upon digging, fans found that the screengrab belonged to a segment from the June 19, 2017, episode of RAW.

The backstage promo showcased Miz, who was the Intercontinental Champion at the time, inviting the former Bo-liever to join him in order to be successful in WWE. However, this only furthered the career of The A-Lister, who used Dallas and Curtis Axel to protect his IC Title.

Right now, Miz is trying to manipulate Carmelo Hayes the same way to become a tag team champion again. However, Uncle Howdy can see through this act easily and has already issued a warning to the Grand Slam Champion.

Thus, one mistake, and The Wyatt Sicks could kidnap The Awesome One again, and this time he won’t fall for his Hollywood-level acting skills. It will be interesting to see what lies ahead for Miz and Howdy.
