Potential reason for Wyatt Sicks' delayed WWE debut
A potential reason for WWE delaying the debut of the Wyatt Sicks faction has been discovered on social media. Uncle Howdy and his mysterious faction made their debuts at the end of this week's episode of WWE RAW.
The faction arrived with a backstage attack and then posed on the entrance ramp. Uncle Howdy said, "We're here," in the closing moments of the show. There have been teases about the group for a long time now, and fans were finally rewarded on RAW.
The X/Twitter account "Pro Wrestling Finesse" floated an interesting theory as to why WWE held off on debuting the faction. They noted that Bray Wyatt's final televised match took place at Royal Rumble 2023. He defeated LA Knight in a Pitch Black match. He also battled The Megastar several more times after the premium live event, but they were dark matches.
Royal Rumble 2023 took place in Texas, and so did this past Monday's edition of RAW. The promotion may have decided to wait to debut the faction in the state where WWE fans last got to see Wyatt on television.
LA Knight comments on being Bray Wyatt's final opponent in WWE
WWE SmackDown star LA Knight has shared his thoughts on being the last opponent Bray Wyatt ever faced in the wrestling business.
During an interview with In The Kliq earlier this year, The Megastar noted that he didn't think about it too much because it seemed like a weird thing to celebrate, and he wished he wasn't Wyatt's last match. He added that sharing the ring with Wyatt was a big opportunity for him.
"I don't really think about it too too much just because it's a weird thing to consider and celebrate I guess, in a weird way. I wish I wasn't his last match. So I think that's really more the way I think about it. At the same time, that was an experience for me where that was an opportunity, and I don't know that it was looked at as an opportunity in a lot of ways. I think it was just thought of as here's a guy who can handle himself in this situation and help to put the spotlight on Bray and bring him back," Knight said. [From 11:39 to 12:15]
