40-year-old seemingly confirms he's a member of Wyatt Sicks following WWE RAW
Last night's edition of WWE RAW in Texas went off the air in stunning fashion. Jey Uso had just defeated Finn Balor and Rey Mysterio in a Triple Threat match to qualify for the Money in the Bank Ladder match next month when the lights went out.
A mysterious door appeared on the entrance ramp, much like the one Bray Wyatt walked through during his return at WWE Extreme Rules 2022. Nikki Cross emerged from the door with a new gimmick and crawled toward the lantern. She then guided the audience backstage, where chaos had seemingly just happened. A bloody Chad Gable was shown on screen as the lights flickered. Uncle Howdy then showed up, and the group posed on the entrance ramp before saying, "We're here" to end the show.
Dexter Lumis took to social media to share an image from last night's WWE RAW, seemingly confirming he is one of the members of the Wyatt Sicks faction. He also had Bray Wyatt's theme playing and linked to a post from the designer of the masks (Jason Baker) seen on the superstars in the faction.

Former WWE writer wonders how Uncle Howdy's faction will be successful
Wrestling legend Vince Russo has shared his thoughts on Uncle Howdy's faction and is not convinced that things will work out.
Speaking on this week's episode of Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW show, Russo discussed the faction's debut and claimed there was no way to pull it off unless the company went to "the extremes." The veteran also wondered if the company was trying this so they could see if storylines like this still work with the modern wrestling fan.
"Unless you go to the extremes, there is no way to pull this off. Hold on, with that being said, could the WWE be purposely doing this? Because when it doesn't work in three or four weeks, 'Guys times have changed, they don't want it. They don't want entertainment anymore.' I'm telling you. Does this shut the critics up? 'We tried it and nobody wanted it. They want wrestling, times have changed.' I'm telling you. I'm a writer, I don't know how you pull this off." [From 36:00 onwards]
