As the show went on, superstars were still getting released, and multiple reports covered the releases. During the show, the management played a video package for The Wyatt Sicks. Later, a clip of the promo being played during the show went viral, as faction members were already released. It was a huge mistake on production’s part and also hints at backstage confusion behind the releases.
“The awkward moment when WWE uses released talent in a video package for SmackDown on the exact day they were released. Awkward. 😬,” a fan wrote on Instagram.
Stars who were released will have to wait 30-90 days based on their non-compete clause before returning to active competition in the industry.
The Wyatt Sicks were champions in WWE
In 2022, Bray Wyatt returned to the Stamford-based promotion for a run under the regime. The Eater of the Worlds was a staple on Friday Night SmackDown and went on a hiatus before WrestleMania 39. Unfortunately, Windham Rotunda passed away in August 2023. Before his untimely passing, Wyatt introduced Uncle Howdy in the promotion, who later carried his legacy.
In 2024, the eerie faction debuted on Monday Night RAW and worked on the brand for months to come. Later, they were moved to Friday Night SmackDown and eventually won the WWE Tag Team Championship from the Street Profits. The Wyatt Sicks also appeared on AAA but didn’t capture any championship gold. Last year, they began a feud with the MFTs on the blue brand, which recently ended on the go-home show of WWE SmackDown before WrestleMania 42.
The faction members have wrestling experience outside the Stamford-based promotion, which could help them land roles on the independent circuit. It’ll be interesting to see what’s next for The Wyatt Sicks in the industry.
