Brace yourselves, folks, because the Wyatt Sicks have officially crawled back out of the shadows on WWE Raw—and this time, they’re targeting anyone with a fractured friendship and a guilty conscience. (So, basically everyone in WWE at this point.)
After a brief hiatus, the eerie collective, led by none other than Uncle Howdy—who we’re 99.9% sure is Bo Dallas in his best wig and mask combo—have returned to make life miserable for The Miz, Karrion Kross, and the gloriously named stable, The Final Testament. This marks their first cryptic appearance since Uncle Howdy beat Chad Gable senseless back in August, proving that not even good manners can save you from a masked man with family issues.
The chaos started brewing when The Final Testament’s Authors of Pain took a shocking loss in the first round of a tag-team tournament to The New Day. With The Miz awkwardly lurking ringside like the world’s most overdressed scout, his former buddy R-Truth couldn’t resist delivering a big ol’ boot to the face of Miz and Karrion Kross, throwing the match into chaos and helping Kofi Kingston score a cheeky roll-up on Rezar.
But as New Day and Truth celebrated like they just won WrestleMania, The Miz and The Final Testament, like true buzzkills, attacked Truth from behind. Kingston, naturally wanting to help, was held back by Woods, perhaps knowing full well that things were about to get spooky. And then, the lights dimmed—the universal signal that someone’s about to get attacked by creepy figures in masks.
Sure enough, the Wyatt Sicks—sans their ringleader Uncle Howdy—emerged like ghosts at a haunted tag-team buffet. Karrion Kross didn’t even hesitate to brawl with his new besties Joe Gacy, Dexter Lumis, Erick Rowan, and Nikki Cross, all of whom are now apparently in the We Like Creepy Masks club. The brawl spilled into the crowd while The Miz—showing Olympic-level self-preservation—stayed frozen in the ring with his head down, only to stand up and find the Uncle Howdy behind him like the world’s creepiest magic trick.
Just when you thought Miz was about to eat a Mandible Claw, WWE manager Paul Ellering pulled off the save, pushing Miz out of danger but finding himself in the line of (mandible) fire. Poor Ellering got a one-way ticket to unconsciousness, courtesy of Howdy’s not-so-gentle hand.
And here’s the kicker: The Wyatt Sicks, since debuting, have been picking off those who have turned their backs on friends and allies. So if you’ve ghosted a tag partner or maybe forgot to text a friend back—watch your back, because the Sicks might just come knocking next.
