The Wyatt Sicks is a WWE faction led by Uncle Howdy that includes Erick Rowan, Dexter Lumis, Joe Gacy, and Nikki Cross. Their name is a play on words, referencing the “Wyatt 6” concept.
WWE teased the group’s arrival through an alternate reality game called “Nightbird,” which included mysterious vignettes and QR codes. The Wyatt Sicks made a dramatic debut on WWE Raw (June 17, 2024), attacking people backstage and ending with the iconic, “We’re here” catchphrase.
The faction has a strong connection to the late Bray Wyatt, who passed away in August 2023. Uncle Howdy is actually played by Wyatt’s real-life brother, Taylor Rotunda (formerly known as Bo Dallas). The group brings to life Wyatt’s “Firefly Funhouse” puppet characters, with each member representing a different puppet: Rowan as Rambling Rabbit, Lumis as Mercy the Buzzard, Gacy as Huskus the Pig Boy and Cross as Abby the Witch.
