WWE once again shocked the wrestling world on Monday night as Uncle Howdy and the Wyatt Sicks finally arrived on RAW. New details have surfaced on the individual members of the viral faction, and how the company prepared for the debut.

After months of rumors and speculation, Bo Dallas returned as Uncle Howdy, the leader of the faction inspired by his late brother Bray Wyatt. Erick Rowan is portraying the Ramblin' Rabbit-inspired character, while Nikki Cross is behind the Sister Abigail-like character, the man behind Mercy The Buzzard is Dexter Lumis, and Joe Gacy is the man behind the character inspired by Huskus The Pig Boy. It's believed that Bray came up with at least most of the creative for the Wyatt Sicks, and there's even speculation that the spirit of the late wrestling legend is meant to represent the sixth member of the group.

WWE has spent a good amount of time preparing for the debut of Bray's creation. While merchandise for the faction has already been released, a new report from Fightful Select notes that the Wyatt Sicks have not been officially named on TV, the WWE website, or social media as of now, and that is by design.

It was noted that officials kept several other talents off TV for months in preparation for the big arrival. The actual members of Wyatt Sicks also have not been named, besides Uncle Howdy, and that is also a part of the direction. The company is referring to the group as Howdy and his "sinister friends" for now.

WWE specifically brought Rowan back to the company for this role. He had been away since his release in April 2020 due to COVID-19 budget cuts. Bo Dallas was also released due to budget cuts in April 2021 but has been under contract since 2022, when Bray was also re-signed after a brief departure.

WWE partner creates gear for Wyatt Sicks

Jason Baker of Callosum Studios was a close friend of Bray Wyatt. Along with horror icon Tom Savini, the duo worked together on many of Wyatt's masks, props, and storyline ideas, including The Fiend.

Baker took to X/Twitter after Monday's RAW and revealed that his studios created the looks for the Wyatt Sicks.

"We’re Here! #wyatt6 masks and costumes created by me and my amazing crew at @Callosumstudios," Jason Baker wrote.

Wyatt had publicly acknowledged how Jason Baker helped bring his ideas to life. Baker has also worked on other WWE projects in recent years.
