On WWE Monday Night RAW, Uncle Howdy and The Wyatt Sicks made their shocking arrival. Now, the 40-year-old commentator Corey Graves admitted he broke down in tears following the chilling and uneasy debut of the "sinister friends" on the red brand's show.
The spooky crew from Bray Wyatt's twisted playground, the Firefly Fun House, came to life! Windham Rotunda's (Wyatt's real name) brother Bo Dallas portraying the Howdy character, joined forces with the creepy bunch that included Joe Gacy, Dexter Lumis, Nikki Cross, and Erick Rowan.
Backstage at WWE, The Wyatt Sicks went on a rampage and left behind a carnage. A prominent wrestler such as Chad Gable was left lying unconscious with a head wound.
Speaking to Peter Rosenberg on the Over The Top podcast, the 40-year-old SmackDown commentator revealed that he was left in tears after The Wyatt Sicks debuted on Monday Night RAW. He touched upon Wyatt and how much the late star meant to people. Graves also noted how the debut of the faction, which was so deeply tied to Bray, was a touchy subject and that WWE had managed to do justice to it.
"I cried. I sobbed. I sat in my bed, I was in bed, my wife [Carmella] was asleep, so I had the volume turned very low. I assumed it was going to happen at the end of the show, and I wasn't sure what to expect because it's such a touchy subject. Bray [Windham Rotunda] meant so many things to so many different people. He was such a unique character, a unique presentation, I don't think it could have been done any better than it was Monday night," he said. [H/T : Fightful]
Corey Graves noted that there was a palpable sense of unease that was hanging in the air after he saw what went down in the Gorilla Position, which usually always looks the same, but on Monday night it was destroyed.
"When you walked into Gorilla with the camera and saw Gorilla in shambles, which is striking even to me, to watch and see, having been there for years and years and it looks exactly the same. To see it completely destroyed and sparks flying, it was unbelievable," added Graves. [H/T - Fightful]

Corey Graves says The Wyatt Sicks presentation in WWE was no less than perfection
The SmackDown lead commentator went on to share that he knew the late Bray Wyatt very well. Corey Graves noted that the fans understand how important the former Universal Champion was for the promotion.
According to the 40-year-old personality, Wyatt's brother, Bo Dallas carrying five other WWE Superstars to honor Windham Rotunda's legacy in the form of The Wyatt Sicks coming out on Monday Night RAW was nothing less than "perfection."
"There was something magical happening when Howdy started walking and hearing the crowd understand what was happening, I got emotional. Bray was so important to so many of us, and everything he created and took so much care of and so much pride in, it would have been a disservice to do anything less than perfection. It was a home run," Graves said. [H/T: Fightful]
WWE fans will have to wait and see what the future holds for The Wyatt Sicks in the company. Whether or not Uncle Howdy recruits stars like Alexa Bliss and Braun Strowman remains to be seen.
