5 Mistakes WWE Made With The Wyatt Sicks On SmackDown


Since his WWE debut, Wyatt Sicks was expected to take over the entire roster with his dominance, something Bray Wyatt he did with his faction, the Wyatt Family. Fans were hoping that the faction led by Uncle Howdy would do something similar and generate compelling storylines.

However, the group has felt underutilized despite strong fan intrigue and haunting visuals. WWE has apparently missed some great opportunities and ended up ruining the whole concept of the faction, which could also be one of the main reasons for the massive drop in SmackDown's ratings. Let's look at some mistakes the company made with the faction.

#5. Nikki Cross' in-ring career has taken a back seat

Nikki Cross was once one of the most unpredictable and exciting women on the roster, but since she joined the Wyatt Sickshis career in the ring has stalled. The star has been used mostly for odd vignettes and backstage segments instead of in-ring action, which could be seen as a massive flaw in Wyatt Sicks' entire booking.

The WWE creative team apparently has no plans to let her wrestle, despite her history of delivering exciting performances. Keeping her out of the ring could be a huge mistake considering the faction's current situation and plans.

#4. WWE has barely booked them in PLE

For a faction that once sent shockwaves through the wwe Universe, the absence of the Wyatt Sicks at Premium live events has been another major issue. His appearances have been limited to brief backstage segments or obscure promos rather than high-profile matches.

This has led to the company mainly featuring the faction on weekly shows, which has not allowed the faction to soak up the spotlight it deserves. Without a few big PLE moments, the Wyatt Sicks won't be able to take over the roster.

#3. There are no singles matches for Uncle Howdy

Uncle Howdy's The mystique has been one of the most intriguing elements of the faction, but WWE has yet to explore the story. Since his debut, Howdy's backstage segments have turned out to be incredible, but keeping him out of the ring makes no sense.

The leader of the faction must make his presence felt in the squared circle to make headlines around the world and lead the Wyatt Sicks to blue brand glory.

#2. Erick Rowan has not been portrayed as a powerhouse

Eric Rowan has made a career as one of the dominant names in the ring in the industry. The star, during his time in the Wyatt Family, was portrayed as a powerhouse, which was a major reason for the faction's success.

However, since his return as part of the Wyatt Sicks, the star has not been presented as the dominant name that he is, which is another major reason for the failure of the entire faction.

#1. There are no new members

Perhaps the biggest missed opportunity has been WWE's decision to keep Alexa Bliss away from the Wyatt Sicks. Not only that, but not adding new members to the faction has turned out to be a huge flaw as the company has ended up missing the opportunity to bring the faction to the top.

Without intriguing storylines and new members, the faction will not be able to survive for long as a major name in the industry. Time will tell what WWE has in store for the star next.
