The Wyatt Sicks (also stylized asWyatt Sick6) is aprofessional wrestlingstable performing inWWE on theSmackDownbrand and its sister promotionLucha Libre AAA Worldwide. The stable is composed of leaderUncle Howdy (Bo Dallas) and membersErick Rowan,Dexter Lumis,Joe Gacy, andNikki Cross.
The group is inspired by characters developed byBray Wyatt for his Firefly Funhouse segments. Following Wyatt's death in August 2023, his real-life brotherBo Dallas returned as a dual character with hisalter ego Uncle Howdy in June 2024, along with Rowan, Lumis, Gacy, and Cross, forming The Wyatt Sicks (aplay on words of "Wyatt 6 (six)"), with the other members attire being inspired by the puppet characters of the Firefly Funhouse.[1]
When Windham Rotunda, who worked asBray Wyatt, returned toWWE atExtreme Rules in October 2022, he was accompanied by a mysterious character who Wyatt identified only as "Uncle Howdy", portrayed by Windham's real-life brother Taylor, who was previously known for performing in WWE as Bo Dallas. Uncle Howdy made numerous appearances, notably in segments involving Wyatt andAlexa Bliss' feud withBianca Belair in January 2023; Bliss was previously involved in a storyline with Wyatt before Wyatt left WWE in 2021.[2][3] Wyatt and Howdy last appeared together on the February 17, 2023 episode ofSmackDown, where Wyatt and Howdy laid outHit Row, followed by Wyatt challenging the winner ofBobby Lashley vs.Brock Lesnar, which took place at that year'sElimination Chamber, to a match atWrestleMania 39.[4] This would also be Wyatt's final physical appearance, as he was taken off television shortly afterward due to an undisclosed illness. Uncle Howdy had one further appearance on the following week's episode ofSmackDown where he confronted Lashley, who had won at Elimination Chamber, before the storyline was dropped due to Wyatt's indefinite absence. Wyatt died on August 24 at the age of 36, with Uncle Howdy subsequently removed from WWE programming.[5]
During the April 2024 documentaryBray Wyatt: Becoming Immortal, Taylor showed the unfinished ideas Windham had left. He also implied the return of Uncle Howdy, as seen during the ending of the documentary which saw Howdy's silhouette standing behind Wyatt's lantern. Prior to Wyatt's death, there had been online speculation that he and Howdy would be forming a new version ofThe Wyatt Family called the Wyatt 6 which would include real-life versions of his Firefly Funhouse puppet characters, which had been seen upon his Extreme Rules return and at the2023 Royal Rumble.[6]

At the beginning of 2024, WWE launched analternate reality game nicknamed "Nightbird". Over the following months, they aired vignettes at live events and during commercial breaks of televised shows, accompanied by production glitches playing out to a Marti Amado song called "Nightbird". In addition, followingWrestleMania XL in April 2024, short screen distortions appeared at various times during WWE programming, with each glitch displaying aQR code leading to websites containing imagery, minigames, and riddles that vaguely referenced the return of Uncle Howdy, in addition to his stable (very similar to how Wyatt returned at the 2022 Extreme Rules). In some cases, WWE's social media profiles and other avenues were taken over by Howdy. This included instances such as including a QR code forWWE 2K24 that appeared when launching the game.[7]
At the end of the June 17, 2024 episode ofRaw, the arena lights went out and a door appeared on stage, similar to how Wyatt returned at the 2022 Extreme Rules. The door opened to revealNikki Cross crawling from the door towards Wyatt's lantern, before standing up and directing the cameraman to go backstage where it was shown that numerous unnamed WWE backstage staff, several security personnel, andChad Gable, had been brutally attacked.[8]Erick Rowan,Dexter Lumis, andJoe Gacy were seen standing over the carnage at various points, before finally revealing Uncle Howdy, who led the group out onto the stage to Cross before grabbing the lantern and proclaiming "we're here" and blowing it out, similar to Wyatt. It was then revealed that the group was called The Wyatt Sicks (aplay on words of "Wyatt 6 (six)"), with Cross, Rowan, Lumis, and Gacy portraying the respective Firefly Funhouse characters Abby the Witch, Rambling Rabbit, Mercy the Buzzard, and Huskus the Pig Boy.[9][10][11] On the June 24 episode ofRaw, Bo Dallas appeared and "being interviewed" by hisalter ego Uncle Howdy, Dallas lamenting his brother Bray Wyatt's death.[12] The group would have their first match on the August 5 episode of Raw, where Rowan, Lumis, and Gacy would team up to face the newly formed team "American Made" (Chad Gable andThe Creed Brothers), where The Wyatt Sicks would win after Lumis pinned Gable.[13] On the August 26 episode ofRaw, Howdy would take on Gable in a singles match, in which Howdy won after interference from both American Made and The Wyatt Sicks, before performing theSister Abigail.[14] On the September 9 episode ofRaw, The Wyatt Sicks defeated American Made in a Street Fight, ending their feud. They started a feud withThe Miz andThe Final Testament (Karrion Kross andAOP), facing each other on the December 9 episode ofRaw, where The Wyatt Sicks suffered their first loss as a stable in an eight-man tag team match.[15]
In January 2025, The Wyatt Sicks were moved to theSmackDownbrand as a result of the "transfer window" between the two brands, but due to an injury sustained by Howdy,[16] they did not appear on television until the May 23 episode ofSmackDown, when they attackedThe Street Profits,Fraxiom, andDIY.[17] On the July 11 episode ofSmackDown, Lumis and Gacy defeated The Street Profits to win theWWE Tag Team Championships.[18]
By late November, the group began its feud withSolo Sikoa and theMFT stable (consisting ofThe Tongans andJC Mateo) following the latter's win in aSurvivor Series match on the November 28 episode ofSmackDown where Howdy attacked Sikoa.[19] Then on the January 9, 2026 episode ofSmackDown, The Wyatt Sicks were defeated by the MFT in a eight-man tag team match after Sikoa stole Bray Wyatt's lantern.[20] On the January 23 episode ofSmackDown, Lumis and Gacy lost theWWE Tag Team Championship to Sikoa andTama Tonga of The MFT ending their reign at 196 days.[21]
In late July 2025,Universal Studios announced that The Wyatt Sicks would get their own Haunted House under the name “WWE Presents: The Horrors of the Wyatt Sicks” as part ofHalloween Horror Nights 2025 at bothOrlando andHollywood locations.[22]
