Joe Gacy, a member of The Wyatt Sicks, released a cryptic warning ahead of this Friday’s WWE SmackDown, which marks the first blue brand show following Clash in Paris 2025. The message hinted at the faction’s future intentions, fueling speculation among fans about what lies ahead for the group.
Recently, The Wyatt Sicks, consisting of Joe Gacy and Dexter Lumis, successfully retained the WWE Tag Team Championship by defeating The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) at the Premium Live Event (PLE) on Sunday. Gacy shared his brief but striking statement on Instagram emphasizing ongoing momentum for their faction.
“We are just getting started,” he wrote.
Background of The Wyatt Sicks’ Tag Team Success and Recent Developments
Joe Gacy and Dexter Lumis clinched the WWE Tag Team Championship earlier this summer during the July 11 SmackDown episode by overcoming The Street Profits. However, after their recent loss at Clash in Paris, there are hints within the tag team landscape that The Street Profits may face a split, as suggested by Angelo Dawkins himself.
The Wyatt Sicks made their initial impact on WWE RAW last year but faded from television for several months before reappearing on SmackDown. Since their return, they have become a prominent presence in the tag division, heightening interest with their mysterious personas and storyline intrigue.
Vince Russo Expresses Frustration Over WWE’s Direction With The Wyatt Sicks
Veteran wrestling personality Vince Russo recently criticized WWE’s handling of The Wyatt Sicks during his appearance on Sportskeeda Wrestling’s BroDown show. Russo conveyed his disappointment with the faction’s stagnant storyline development and lack of utilization, particularly focusing on Uncle Howdy’s limited screen time despite his strong promo skills.
“They have no idea what to do with the Wyatt Sicks. So, we just keep replaying the same promo for the last freaking 12 months. He’s [Uncle Howdy] very good on the mic. He’s very good on the promos. Put him in a freaking program.” Russo said.
Uncle Howdy last appeared in a televised match during a six-man tag contest on WWE RAW, where he was pinned by Karrion Kross. Kross recently departed WWE after his contract expired following SummerSlam 2025.
Uncertain Future for The Wyatt Sicks as Champions and Key Faction Figures
With Karrion Kross’s exit and The Wyatt Sicks’ recent title defense, the faction faces an uncertain path moving forward. Their cryptic warning suggests ongoing plans, but WWE’s booking inconsistencies, highlighted by Russo’s commentary, add tension to their story arcs. How The Wyatt Sicks maintain their status as tag team champions and develop characters like Uncle Howdy will be critical in retaining viewer interest on SmackDown.
As WWE continues to build towards future storylines following SummerSlam and Clash in Paris, the fate of The Wyatt Sicks and the dynamics of the tag team division remain key points to watch in upcoming episodes.
