The Wyatt Sicks triumphantly returned on WWE SmackDown during a championship match.

Going into WWE SmackDown in Savannah, GA, there was speculation that The Wyatt Sicks would return to television. It wasn’t confirmed or promoted by WWE, but after five months away from television, the group did return during the main event.

It was a WWE Tag Team Title match between the champions The Street Profits (Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins) and the impressive new SmackDown team Fraxiom (Axiom & Nathan Frazer).

The two talented teams had a competitive match for about 18 minutes when Ford went to the top rope looking for a big move, perhaps the Frog Splash that he does so well. At that point, the lights went out in the building, and the fans screamed in anticipation.

When the lights came back on, The Wyatt Sicks were in the ring. It was Uncle Howdy/Bo Dallas, Erick Rowan, Dexter Lumis, Joe Gacy, and Nikki Cross. Lumis went after Ford with a superplex, and the referee saw it, so it was a disqualification ending.

The Wyatt Sicks Deliver A Message To WWE Tag Teams

In the final minutes of SmackDown, The Wyatt Sicks destroyed The Street Profits, Fraxiom, #DIY’s Johnny Gargano & Tommaso Ciampa and The Motor City Machine Guns as well. The #DIY and Guns went to ringside during the title match, so that’s why they were a part of the chaos at ringside.

Erick Rowan ran over a few guys on the floor. Nikki Cross jumped onto Candice LeRae (Gargano’s wife) at ringside. Joe Gacy gave Lumis a Powerbomb onto Dawkins. Uncle Howdy applied the Mandible Claw to Frazer.

The fans chanted, “This is awesome” for the Wyatt Sicks group that was back in full force after missing several months due to injury and WWE waiting for the right time to bring them back.

Uncle Howdy hit a Sister Abigail neckbreaker on Gargano. The Wyatt Sicks posed together in the ring while the lights went off, and the “fireflies” fans lit up the building with light.

At the end, Howdy blew out a birthday cake candle since it was his brother Bray Wyatt’s birthday. Howdy shouted: “My life for you!” A nice tribute by Howdy for his late brother Bray Wyatt, who inspired millions of fans and this Wyatt Sicks group.

Alexa Bliss has been linked to The Wyatt Sicks due to her past as an ally of Bray Wyatt. She was on SmackDown in a segment involving Tiffany Stratton and Charlotte Flair, but Bliss didn’t appear with the Wyatt Sicks group.
