An update has emerged regarding the Wyatt Sicks stable’s ongoing absence from WWE television. According to PWInsider, Uncle Howdy/Bo Dallas is currently “off the road,” though no specific reason or expected return timeframe was provided in the report.
The supernatural faction, consisting of Uncle Howdy/Bo Dallas, Nikki Cross, Dexter Lumis, Joe Gacy, and Erick Rowan, last appeared live on WWE programming in December when they lost an eight-man tag match against The Final Testament and The Miz. Their planned involvement in Alexa Bliss’ January return was postponed when her comeback was delayed until Royal Rumble due to contract negotiations.
Following the WWE transfer window announcement in January, the Wyatt Sicks were moved to SmackDown, the same brand where Bliss now performs. While the group hasn’t physically appeared with Bliss, their connection has been established through signature visual effects during her segments and her adoption of the Abigail DDT finisher.

This connection continued on last night’s SmackDown when Bliss attacked Roxanne Perez, accompanied by the distinctive Wyatt Sicks screen distortion effects that have characterized her recent appearances.
Tonight, Bliss competes in the Women’s Elimination Chamber match against Bianca Belair, Naomi, Roxanne Perez, Liv Morgan, and Bayley. The winner earns a Women’s World Championship match against Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania 41.
The status update on Uncle Howdy provides some context for the faction’s continued absence from television despite the ongoing visual cues connecting them to Bliss. Their supernatural presence continues to influence storylines through these elements while the physical appearances remain on hold.
