Major WWE Return Could Be Happening Tonight on SmackDown

The Wyatt Sicks could finally be making their return to WWE television.

On May 23, Fightful Select confirmed that the mysterious faction is present at the location of tonight’s WWE SmackDown taping in Savannah, Georgia. While WWE hasn’t made any official announcement, their presence just hours before the show has fueled speculation that they may appear on the broadcast.

As previously reported, the faction—consisting of Bo Dallas (Uncle Howdy), Erick Rowan, Joe Gacy, Dexter Lumis, and Nikki Cross—was originally not expected to return until after WrestleMania. But plans may have changed, especially since Bo Dallas has been cleared for in-ring action for months.

The group was pulled from television after the December 9, 2024 episode of SmackDown, and they haven’t been featured at live events since then, as they’ve remained listed as TV-only talent. Fightful Select noted, “While it was implied to us that they’d be on tonight’s show, it hasn’t been confirmed.”

Erick Rowan’s presence in Savannah also adds to the intrigue. He was recently seen at the WWE Performance Center undergoing evaluations, a move that hinted his WWE return was nearing.

With the Wyatt Sicks being one of WWE’s more unsettling and theatrical factions, their return would instantly add new life to SmackDown’s atmosphere—if they show up tonight.
