The Wyatt Sicks are set to defend their WWE Tag Team Championship in a highly competitive TLC match at SummerSlam, where six teams will battle to be the first to climb the ladder and claim the titles. This type of match offers no clear advantage, increasing the risk for the champions as any team that retrieves the belts first will be declared the winner. The unpredictable nature of the contest means the Wyatts could potentially lose their championship despite their strength.
Rumors Grow Around Aleister Black Joining Uncle Howdy’s Faction
Speculation has intensified over the possibility of former NXT Champion Aleister Black intervening on behalf of Uncle Howdy and the Wyatt Sicks during the SummerSlam tag team clash. Since returning to WWE, Black has been linked to the faction, whose dark, supernatural presence meshes well with his occult-themed character. Fans anticipate that if the Wyatts find themselves on the brink of defeat, Black might suddenly appear, turning the tide in their favor.
One imagined scenario involves the arena lights going dark as Black steps into the ring, swiftly clearing out all other competitors while sparing only the Wyatt Sicks. Uncle Howdy could then be seen observing with sinister amusement as his faction secures the WWE Tag Team Championship. Following the victory, Howdy embracing Black would confirm the latter’s membership in the group, generating a dramatic and shocking moment that would captivate the WWE Universe.

Potential Impact of Aleister Black Joining the Wyatt Sicks
This possible addition to the faction has been hinted at for some time, and Aleister Black’s incorporation could add significant depth and a fresh dynamic to the Wyatt Sicks. The company’s inclination toward expanding the group suggests this angle might be used to stitch a darker, more compelling storyline during SummerSlam. However, as of now, this remains speculative and depends entirely on what unfolds during the event.
Will Uncle Howdy and The Wyatt Sicks Transition to WWE RAW Post-SummerSlam?
Uncle Howdy and the Wyatt Sicks were moved to WWE SmackDown earlier this year, with the faction making a notable return in May after a months-long hiatus. Since then, they have dominated the SmackDown tag team scene, dismantling rival teams with a relentless style. Their overwhelming success has led fans to speculate about their future on WWE programming.
With little competition remaining for them on Friday nights, many predict that The Wyatt Sicks might be transferred to Monday Night RAW following SummerSlam. Such a move could coincide with a rumored WWE Draft taking place after the event, providing a natural opportunity to shift the faction’s focus and refresh the storylines on the red brand.
Despite widespread anticipation, this potential relocation remains unconfirmed. Fans await further developments to see how WWE plans to utilize Uncle Howdy and his allies in the coming months.
