The Wyatt Sicks are reuniting in public for the first time since being released by WWE following WrestleMania 42. WrestleCon announced on social media that the entire faction will appear during SummerSlam weekend in Minneapolis for a three-day convention run from July 31 through August 2.
The booking will feature Bo Dallas as Taylor Rotunda, Nikki Cross as Nikki Storm, Dexter Lumis returning to Samuel Shaw, Erick Rowan back as Erick Redbeard, and Joe Gacy now going by Joseph Sawyer. With WWE only having released the group on April 24, this marks the first officially announced post-WWE appearance for all five members together.
The reunion comes shortly after Dave Meltzer reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that WWE internally believed the Wyatt Sicks concept had reached its ceiling creatively. Meltzer explained that some within WWE felt the gimmick was limiting how the performers could evolve.
“It was just felt that the group had run its course. It was basically a tribute to Bray Wyatt and was over big at first but it was limiting how they could be used with that gimmick over the long haul.”
