Reports circulating through wrestling media suggest Braun Strowman could be recruited into the Wyatt Sicks faction during this week’s SmackDown broadcast. The former Universal Champion’s absence from the WrestleMania 41 card has sparked speculation about a potential character shift.
The Wyatt Sicks group has not appeared on WWE programming since December, despite being moved to the SmackDown roster during January’s draft. Industry observers note that Uncle Howdy could use Strowman’s recent frustration as leverage for recruitment, particularly his exclusion from WrestleMania despite involvement in the United States Championship picture.
Strowman’s history with the original Wyatt Family could factor into this potential storyline development. WWE has reportedly left breadcrumbs for this possibility during recent broadcasts, suggesting a planned direction for the character.
If implemented, this character shift would mark a significant change in presentation for Strowman, potentially returning him to a darker persona reminiscent of his earlier WWE run. The post-WrestleMania period traditionally features new storylines and character developments.
WWE has not officially confirmed any plans regarding Strowman or the Wyatt Sicks faction ahead of this week’s SmackDown broadcast.
