40-year-old Wyatt Sicks member is only second to Bray Wyatt in talent, says former WWE writer (Exclusive)
Wyatt Sicks made a stunning debut on Monday Night RAW this week, and former WWE writer Vince Russo has revealed that he wants the Bray Wyatt tribute faction to succeed for one member. The name in question is Dexter Lumis.
On WWE RAW, Nikki Cross, Erick Rowan, Joe Gacy, and Dexter Lumis were revealed as the members of the Uncle Howdy-led faction. Wyatt Sicks appeared in the show's closing moments and exhibited its dominance by destroying the backstage area.
Vince Russo discussed what's next for Wyatt Sicks in WWE while reviewing the show on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW. He expressed his concerns about the faction's booking before explaining why he wanted the group to find success on the red brand.
Russo claimed Dexter Lumis, who returned on RAW as a part of Wyatt Sicks, was only "just behind" Bray Wyatt when it came to talent. He said the group must be booked well for the 40-year-old before questioning whether the creative team could provide a platform for the latter to thrive in WWE.
"I want it to work for Sam Shaw [Lumis] because I feel he is one of the most talented, maybe just behind Bray Wyatt. This was the guy who got it. And again, the Dexter Lumis. Bro, if you didn't know what to do with Dexter Lumis? Remember when he was Johnny Gargano's buddy? If you didn't know what to do with Dexter Lumis, what are you going to do with five Dexter Lumises?"

Vince Russo warns WWE against huge mistake with Wyatt Sicks on RAW
The former WWE writer believes that Wyatt Sicks may be at risk of being the biggest miss in the promotion's history. Vince Russo argued that while the faction's debut was promising, the creative team must have a solid plan in the works for the group.
Wyatt Sicks members were introduced on RAW while several superstars were laid to waste on the floor. Russo said the backstage attacks were compelling now, but they could fall flat within weeks if the Wyatt Sicks members are not involved in good creative angles on the show.
