Triple H has prioritized the in-ring aspect of WWE more than the sports entertainment side of the product since replacing Vince McMahon in 2022. Legendary reporter, Bill Apter, believes one of The Game's latest factions, The Wyatt Sicks, goes against everything he has promoted over the last two years.
The faction consists of Bo Dallas (aka Uncle Howdy), Dexter Lumis, Erick Rowan, Joe Gacy, and Nikki Cross. On June 17, the group posed on the stage area after leaving several motionless bodies backstage. A week later, Cross gave commentator Michael Cole a VHS tape containing footage of Uncle Howdy interviewing Dallas.
Apter appeared on Sportskeeda Wrestling's The Wrestling Time Machine show with host Mac Davis and WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long. He questioned whether the new stable should feature on such a wrestling-centric show.

"They're pushing pro wrestling," Apter said. "Since Triple H took over, they're pushing pro wrestling, and now they have somebody come out scaring Michael Cole with a VHS tape and going like, 'Watch this.' And the fans that are watching this that have been educated now for the past few months of pro wrestling are going like, 'What the heck are they doing?'" [7:06 – 7:35]

Bill Apter explains how The Wyatt Sicks could work in WWE
In January 2025, RAW will begin airing on Netflix. The streaming service is known for its wide range of entertainment shows, from comedies and documentaries to dramas and horror films.
If WWE produces additional content on Netflix, Bill Apter thinks The Wyatt Sicks could have their own show instead of featuring on regular programming.
"A Wyatt show for Netflix, like a 30-minute show, that would be great because it's out there, but it doesn't belong in what they're pushing as pro wrestling as far as I'm concerned," said Apter. [8:29 – 8:42]
Apter also gave his opinion on whether Uncle Howdy should have interviewed Bo Dallas on the June 24 episode of RAW.
