Wyatt Sicks Make Shocking WWE Return on SmackDown

The Wyatt Sicks faction made a dramatic reappearance on WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) television during the May 23, 2025, episode of SmackDown from Savannah, Georgia, disrupting the main event before the show closed with a tribute to the late Bray Wyatt on what would have marked his 38th birthday.

The faction, comprised of Bo Dallas (as Uncle Howdy), Nikki Cross, Joe Gacy, Erick Rowan, and Dexter Lumis, resurfaced during the WWE Tag Team Championship match between The Street Profits and Fraxiom. The arena lights suddenly extinguished, accompanied by the group’s distinctive sound effects. Upon the lights’ restoration, The Wyatt Sicks were present in the ring and proceeded to attack both competing teams, as well as #DIY, who had made their way to the ringside area.

This return marked their first appearance since December 2024, when they competed in a match against The Final Testament and The Miz. Previous plans for a storyline involving the group and Alexa Bliss leading into WrestleMania were reportedly shelved due to an injury sustained by Bo Dallas.

The May 23 episode of WWE SmackDown concluded with Bo Dallas, in his Uncle Howdy persona, blowing out a candle on a birthday cake placed in the ring, a gesture honoring his brother, Bray Wyatt.
