The Uncle Howdy-led “Wyatt Sicks” made its much-hyped debut on WWE Raw this week. It was a unique and theatrical emergence for the faction.
A massacre was promised. A massacre we got. But the presentation was totally different from anything we’d seen before. We saw the outcome of the assault on the Gorilla Position staff and Chad Gable but not the attack itself.
This helped things feel eery. It was a quiet and peaceful yet totally horrifying debut for the “Wyatt Sicks”.
It got everyone talking, including WWE stars. Here, we bring you a collection of the reactions to the “Wyatt Sicks”‘ debut.
The debut has so far been viewed millions of times. The full debut posted by WWE on X is currently at 8.3 million views.
"WE'RE HERE."

WWE Women’s Champion Bayley said ‘wow’, WWE Raw Commentator Corey Graves went for a less PG ‘holy sh*t’ and NXT announcer Vic Joseph revealed he was too scared to sleep.
Bronson Reed questioned if Chad Gable would be able to make the triple threat Money in the Bank qualifier match they are set for with Braun Strowman after the attack.
‘Perfection’
Bubba-Ray Dudley’s praise was more articulate. He called the “Wyatt Sicks”‘ debut perfection.
Speaking on his Busted Open podcast he said he felt like he was in a Halloween house of horrors with the slow pacing of the bit making it creepy.
Former WWE star Ryback took to social media to share his hope that the “Wyatt Sicks” have a positive year. Ryback added that Bray Wyatt would be proud of the faction created in his memory by his brother Taylor Rotunda as Uncle Howdy.

Fireflies Belong To Wyatt
Jey Uso told Cathy Kelley on RawTalk that now Wyatt’s family was around they could have full use of the fireflies. Fans had used their phone torches during Uso’s entrance recently in a similar way as they did for Bray Wyatt.
He told Kelly to be careful and admitted he didn’t want any trouble from the menacing faction.
Karrion Kross Welcomes Strangers
Karrion Kross took to X to welcome the “Wyatt Sicks” to WWE Raw claiming he would accept the ‘strangers’ for who they are without any preconceived notions.
Kross is currently in a feud with Xavier Woods who also commented on the “Wyatt Sicks” debut.
Woods claimed he ‘rolled out’ the arena early as something didn’t feel right. Woods added that he was glad he did as he may not have made it out alive.
WWE referee Aja Smith also said she was pleased to have avoided the Wyatt Sicks on her way out of the building. Her husband and former NXT North American Champion Leon Ruff claimed he was nervously waiting for her outside the building after seeing the Wyatt Sicks arrive.

Meanwhile, Dijak regretted joining a masked group – Retribution – four years ago and not now. Seemingly signaling he sees success for the “Wyatt Sicks”.
