WWE Still Considering Major Change for The Wyatt Sicks
SmackDown featured a cryptic vignette with the number 4 against a smoke-filled black background, fueling speculation about Malakai Black potentially joining The Wyatt Sicks.
WWE aired a mysterious vignette during SmackDown featuring a black background with smoke and the number 4 displayed. This cryptic presentation has sparked speculation regarding potential changes to The Wyatt Sicks faction.
The Wyatt Sicks, alongside their leader Uncle Howdy, have been absent from WWE television for a period of time. The stable was transferred to SmackDown during WWE’s first-ever Transfer Window.
The vignette shown this week bears similarities to visual elements previously used in Malakai Black’s entrance. The number 4 potentially references the current member count of The Wyatt Sicks, suggesting Black could be introduced as a fifth member.
Some speculation suggests Black might replace Uncle Howdy as the faction’s leader. Black’s experience with dark characters throughout his professional wrestling career aligns with the Wyatt Sicks’ mysterious aesthetic.
Malakai Black was reportedly released from AEW last month alongside Ricky Saints (formerly known as Ricky Starks) and Miro (formerly known as Rusev). Saints has already debuted on NXT, indicating Black could be next in line for a WWE return.
Black previously worked with House of Black in AEW, further supporting his potential fit with the supernatural-themed Wyatt Sicks storyline. His inclusion could reinvigorate interest in the faction as WrestleMania 41 approaches.
The Wyatt Sicks have not appeared on television since being drafted to the blue brand. Fans have anticipated their return to programming, particularly as WWE’s premier event draws closer.
This theory remains speculative at this point, as WWE has not officially confirmed any connection between the vignette and potential roster additions.
A new mystery vignette aired tonight.
