3 ways The Wyatt Sicks can pay homage to the late Bray Wyatt

The Wyatt Sicks is essentially the embodiment of the legacy of the late Bray Wyatt - one of the most innovative and creative superstars to set foot in a WWE ring.

Led by Uncle Howdy, portrayed by Wyatt's brother, Bo Dallas, the faction is as mystical and captivating as the former Universal Champion. Not to mention, Erick Rowan's inclusion into the group is a direct throwback to The Wyatt Family.

While the entire concept of the group revolves around Bray Wyatt, here we focus on three specific ways in which they can pay tribute to the late star.


#3. Uncle Howdy enlists Alexa Bliss in The Wyatt Sicks

Alexa Bliss was a central figure in The Fiend's character arc in 2020-21. Initially considered a monstrous villain, Wyatt's alter-ego showed a deeper and more realistic side of his persona upon aligning with Bliss.

Bliss grew well into her character and played important roles during Wyatt's rivalry with Randy Orton and Kevin Owens. However, the former Women's Champion betrayed The Fiend at WrestleMania 37. There was no legitimate follow-up to the betrayal as Wyatt was soon released.

During Wyatt's second run, Uncle Howdy pursued Alexa Bliss, hoping to revive her dark character. Yet, before the angle could catch fire and reach a climax, Bliss went on hiatus and Bray Wyatt disappeared from television.

Recruiting Bliss into The Wyatt Sicks would make sense from a storyline perspective. The Fiend gave new life to the former Women's Champion and the two developed a close bond.


#2. The Wyatt Sicks rebuild Bray Wyatt's compound

When Bray Wyatt initially debuted on the main roster with Luke Harper and Erick Rowan, Sister Abigail, and a dilapidated compound were the most important elements of his character.

The Wyatt compound played important roles in WWE programming. Randy Orton infamously burned it down in February 2017, and The New Day brawled with the Wyatts on their turf.

Although WWE has revived Abigail with Nikki Cross, The Wyatt Compound must be reconstructed to commemorate "The Eater of Worlds" character. Howdy could cut his promos from the compound.


#1. The Wyatt Sicks could revive Firefly Fun House matches

To date, only one Firefly Fun House match has occurred. The Fiend obliterated and psychologically manipulated John Cena in a theatrical and creative display at WrestleMania 36 that remains fresh in memory.

The bout occurred under the unusual circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic, forcing the company to get creative. However, given its success, WWE should consider reviving The Firefly Fun House match.

Much like The Bloodline has a match with its own rules and regulations, The Wyatt Sicks could create a playground uniquely suited to their antics, paying homage to Bray Wyatt.
