The recent episode of WWE RAW drew to a close, to the audience’s shock, with the sudden reappearance of Uncle Howdy and the unveiling of the novel Wyatt Sicks group, which includes living counterparts of Ramblin’ Rabbit, Huskus The Pig, Mercy The Buzzard, and Abby The Witch, who is performed by Nikki Cross.
Fightful Select reportedly disclosed that WWE deliberately circumvented uttering the faction’s name on television, social networks, or their official website. The person behind Uncle Howdy is Bo Dallas, while Nikki Cross represents the character influenced by Abigail, Dexter Lumis impersonates the character inspired by Mercy the Buzzard, Joe Gacy is outfitted in the gas mask, and Erick Rowan performs a uniquely created character of his choice.
Several wrestlers were purposely not included on TV for quite some time to ensure an impactful debut for this group. It is rumoured that Jey Uso will regularly acknowledge the faction in future. WWE foresees the group’s influence being recognized on different programs, triggering a significant effect on the show.
The report brought forward that the choice of talent and characters selected for this storyline including those who had to “leave” the show before were strategically arranged for precise aims. A source from WWE quoted in the report, “you can’t defeat ghosts with wrestling moves,” implying that no mythical elements would play a part in this storyline. It was indicated that WWE was satisfied with the backstage footage and the audience’s reaction to the segment. They were also delighted with the overall response from the crowd.
