Uncle Howdy’s new Wyatt Sick6 faction is officially in WWE, and a new report reveals the backstage reaction to their debut.
After months of QR code teases and reports, Uncle Howdy’s new Wyatt Sick6 faction finally debuted on the June 17th episode of Monday Night Raw. The group had promised that a massacre was coming, and they certainly made an impact with their brutal and bloody backstage attack.
Chad Gable, who was involved in the implosion of Alpha Academy earlier in the night, was shown attacked with a massive head wound.
Uncle Howdy (Bo Dallas), Huskus the Pig (Joe Gacy), Mercy the Buzzard (Dexter Lumis), and Abby the Witch (Nikki Cross) posed in the arena, and the screen cut to black to end the show after Howdy declared “We’re here” and blew out his lantern, clearly calling back to the late Bray Wyatt‘s arrival in WWE.
A new report from Fightful Select reveals that those backstage in WWE were pleased with the way the debut came across. The report notes that a stage had to be quickly constructed to allow for the Nikki Cross reveal, and officials were happy with the camera shot that revealed Cross before panning backstage and following Howdy into the arena while showing the backstage carnage.
Continuing, the report indicates that officials were especially pleased with the invested reaction from the crowd in Corpus Christi, TX, as that city is known for having a low energy audience.

In the aftermath of their debut, Triple H paid tribute to Bray Wyatt, sharing an image depicting a silhouetted figure gazing at a stylized butterfly on a screen. This poignant gesture resonates deeply with the wrestling community, honoring Wyatt’s enduring legacy following his passing on August 25th, 2023, at the age of 36, and his subsequent posthumous placement on a WWE Legends contract.
