Nick Aldis announced a high-stakes Tables, Ladders, and Chairs (TLC) Match for the SummerSlam WWE Tag Team Championship Match during this week’s episode of SmackDown. The reigning champions, The Wyatt Sicks, are set to defend their titles against five rival teams, potentially using their numbers advantage unless Aldis intervenes to level the playing field.
Earlier in SmackDown, Joe Gacy and Dexter Lumis risked their championship belts in a match against Andrade and Rey Fenix. The bout ended in disqualification when Nikki Cross interfered by pulling the referee out of the ring, ensuring that the WWE Tag Team titles remained with Gacy and Lumis.
Aldis Considers Banning Key Allies to Ensure a Fair Match
While confirming the TLC match, Aldis hinted at imposing a SummerSlam ban on Nikki Cross, Erick Rowan, and Uncle Howdy to prevent any external interference during the contest. Rowan has played a pivotal role in The Wyatt Sicks’ success, helping Gacy and Lumis secure the titles after defeating The Street Profits. Rowan further influenced the scene by attacking multiple superstars following the post-match brawl on SmackDown, showcasing his significance as a game-changer.
The Strengthening of Bonds Within The Wyatt Sicks
Uncle Howdy, portrayed by Bo Dallas, recently shared insights about his growing closeness with Erick Rowan, a key member of the original Wyatt Family led by the late Bray Wyatt. Speaking on Dead Meat Presents, Dallas reflected on their evolving relationship, attributing it to their shared history with Brodie Lee, also known as Luke Harper.
“Yes, we did get closer… a lot closer. Even before that, with Brodie [Luke Harper aka Brodie Lee], you know, that brought me, Windham [Bray Wyatt], and Rowan even closer together. It’s been a wild road. It’s crazy to think about where we are right now, you know?”
