Wyatt Sicks seemingly target popular WWE star ahead of SmackDown
A major WWE Superstar has seemingly been targeted by the Wyatt Sicks faction following their debut this past Monday night on RAW. The promotion is getting set for WWE SmackDown tonight at the Allstate Arena in Chicago.
Uncle Howdy and his mysterious faction finally arrived in the closing moments of this past Monday's episode of RAW. Jey Uso had just qualified for the Men's Money in the Bank Ladder match before the lights in the arena went out. The faction brutally attacked Chad Gable and left the backstage area decimated before posing on the entrance ramp to end the show.
Earlier today on The Pat McAfee Show, the WWE RAW announcer revealed that it was a drone that caused the lights to shut off during his show recently. However, the broadcast had another cryptic ending today as "You Lied" flashed on the screen as Pat McAfee was wrapping up his talk show.

Bill Apter shares his reaction to the Wyatt Sicks on WWE RAW
Wrestling veteran Bill Apter recently shared his thoughts on the Wyatt Sicks and suggested that the idea be scrapped from WWE's plans.
Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's UnSKripted show, Apter said he would have enjoyed the segment if it was a tribute to Bray Wyatt. However, the segment was much more than that and he noted that sequels are rarely better than the original. Apter added he wanted to remember Bray Wyatt's act for what it was, and isn't interested in another chapter now that he is gone.
"I felt that if this was a tribute to Bray Wyatt with his brother coming out with the lantern and all that, that was nice. But it became more than his tribute. So I am going TO echo the words of Hector Guerrero, where I am gonna say, 'Leave it alone.' We don't need the sequel. The sequels are usually never as good as the original, and I wanna remember the whole Bray Wyatt shtick the way it was. Not the new chapter without him," Apter noted. [5:35 onwards]

It appears that Uncle Howdy's faction has arrived in WWE with the idea of creating chaos. Only time will tell how Chad Gable responds to the attack, and if the group is actually going after Pat McAfee on the former NFL star's daily talk show.
