Five, Sicks, Pick Up Sticks
Last Monday’s Raw saw the in-ring debut of the Wyatt Sicks, the group run by the brainchild of Uncle Howdy, also known as Bo Dallas, the brother of Bray Wyatt, whose Wyatt Family ran roughshod over WWE, creating unforgettable and often creepy moments that are still talked about eleven years after the Family’s red brand debut. The Wyatt Sicks – whose members include Joe Gacy, Erick Rowan, and Dexter Lumis – won their match against Chad Gable and the Creed Brothers as Abby (played by Nikki Cross) and Uncle Howdy looked on.

A dose of OTC
Over on SmackDown, the Original Tribal Chief Roman Reigns returned to the blue brand, fresh off costing his cousin Solo Sikoa – who has claimed to be the new Tribal Chief – his shot at the WWE Championship at SummerSlam. The former Enforcer slipped away from the assault, but the former Undisputed Champion did not stop on dropping both Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa. Meanwhile, the current WWE Champion Cody Rhodes has given Kevin Owens a shot at the golden crown at WWE Bash at Berlin, much to the Prizefighter’s dismay.
