Absent WWE Star In Town for May 23 SmackDown

Erick Rowan is in Savannah, Georgia today, the same city where WWE SmackDown is set to air live—but there’s no indication he’ll be appearing on the show.

PWInsider confirmed that Rowan was spotted in town, though no further details were provided about the purpose of his visit. As of now, there’s no confirmation that he’s scheduled to be on tonight’s broadcast or involved in any WWE taping.

This update comes on the heels of Rowan’s recent visit to the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, where he underwent physical evaluations and training. Earlier reports noted that he’s signed a new contract with WWE and is being prepared for a return, though a timeline has not been publicly revealed.

Rowan has been heavily linked to the rumored return of the Wyatt Sicks faction, which reportedly includes Bo Dallas, Joe Gacy, Dexter Lumis, and Nikki Cross. WWE Creative sources mentioned that the group may return “sooner than you think.”

The Wyatt Sicks haven’t appeared on television since December 9, 2024, following Bo Dallas’ injury. Dallas has since been cleared, but WWE hasn’t booked the faction for any live events—they remain designated for television-only appearances.

Is WWE getting ready to bring back the Wyatt Sicks? Or is Rowan’s presence in Savannah unrelated to tonight’s taping? Drop your thoughts in the comments below.
