Exploring 4 possible motives for Wyatt Sicks members following Bo Dallas revelation on WWE RAW
The Wyatt Sicks are here in WWE and things may never be the same. The stable, which is comprised of Dexter Lumis, Joe Gacy, Nikki Cross, Erick Rowan, and Uncle Howdy, debuted in epic fashion during RAW last week.
This time around, viewers of Monday Night RAW were able to witness one of the most fascinating segments in company history. The vignette was bizarre, creepy, powerful, and emotional all at once and it was centered around Uncle Howdy and Bo Dallas.
The video saw Uncle Howdy and his other side, Bo Dallas, sitting across from each other talking. During the chat, Bo revealed his motivations behind The Wyatt Sicks, which included keeping his brother Bray Wyatt's legacy alive and continuing his vision.
Bo emphasized how he always wanted to be like his brother and work alongside his brother and it was taken away from him, which has led to the dangerous Wyatt Sicks fans see today. The company has yet to explore the motives of the other members, but this article will attempt to take a look inside the minds of each star in the fearsome faction.
Below are four possible motives for the Wyatt Sicks members following Bo Dallas' revelation on WWE RAW.
#4. Erick Rowan may be here to spread Bray Wyatt's vision
Erick Rowan is a veteran performer who came up in WWE well over a decade ago. He is a former multi-time tag team champion in the promotion who held gold with both Luke Harper and Daniel Bryan. Now he's a member of this new stable.
The big man's motives likely lay in a few different places. The rage and anger he feels could very much stem from the fact that WWE released Rowan from the company back in 2020.
Beyond that, though, this could be even more personal. Erick was a member of The Wyatt Family, which was led by Bray Wyatt himself. Just like Bo said in his own vignette, Rowan may be aiming to spread and continue Bray's message even after his tragic passing.
#3. Nikki Cross could feel like an outcast who was repeatedly rejected
Nikki Cross is a highly decorated performer that many fans don't realize has achieved as much as she has. She is a multi-time WWE Women's Tag Team Champion with a handful of partners, a former RAW Women's Champion, and was once Ms. Money in the Bank.
There are a few directions Nikki Cross could take, but the primary one may be rejection. The talented performer has often been rejected or cast aside by her partners and alliances in WWE.
Alexa Bliss ditched her for Bray Wyatt and The Fiend. Rhea Ripley ended their tag team to focus on singles wrestling. Piper Niven moved on and Candice LeRae showed little interest in being her friend. She even lost all of Sanity. Nikki is constantly rejected or ignored and that could be why she found a new family.
#2. Dexter Lumis could feel abandoned by WWE and his "family"
Dexter Lumis is one of the most bizarre superstars in all of WWE, which is saying a lot given the company he currently keeps in The Wyatt Sicks. For a long time, he was looked at as a friendly serial killer turned wrestler, but the friendly part is clearly no longer the case.
Just like Nikki Cross, Lumis was abandoned by his family. Interestingly, he also shares a trait with Erick Rowan in that WWE released him prior to Triple H taking control of the promotion. He would no doubt hold some resentment over that feeling, but perhaps even more to those who were close to him.
Dexter left television randomly last year and he was never seen again until The Wyatt Sicks. Johnny Gargano, Candice LeRae, and even his own 'wife' Indi Hartwell were all over television and never once mentioned Lumis. He likely felt shocked, hurt, and needed help. That is where Uncle Howdy came in. This family is one that won't abandon Lumis.
#1. Joe Gacy could believe he was never going to get a shot
Joe Gacy is another creepy superstar, but one fans may be less familiar with. He has been a regular on NXT and has developed a few different gimmicks, but each has been absolutely insane.
Unlike the others, Gacy has never been a part of WWE's main roster. In fact, there is a very real chance that him never getting an opportunity contributed to him snapping and joining The Wyatt Sicks. He may have felt like an outcast.
It also doesn't help that he too felt the pain of abandonment. He once led The Schism on NXT, but the Grizzled Young Veterans left the stable and the company. This then led to him and Ava splitting, ultimately causing Gacy to be alone. Now, he is no longer by himself.
