The Wyatt Sicks currently consists of WWE Superstars Uncle Howdy (Bo Dallas), Nikki Cross, Erick Rowan, Joe Gacy, and Dexter Lumis. However, former WWE star Eric Young recently revealed the very initial plans for the eerie group that Triple H shared with him.
Young first joined the sports entertainment juggernaut in 2016, leading the popular stable Sanity. His time in NXT saw him excel as a tag team wrestler, winning the NXT Tag Team Championship. However, the Canadian wrestler's main roster run was less successful, and he eventually left the company in 2020. After a brief return in 2022, the former Sanity leader once again departed WWE, marking the end of his second stint with the organization.
In an interview with Chris Van Vliet on INSIGHT, Eric Young was asked if he considered himself to be in an early iteration of The Wyatt Sicks. The former TNA World Heavyweight Champion revealed that Triple H had originally proposed a trio idea with him, the late Bray Wyatt and Bo Dallas to be part of The Wyatt Sicks.
Young was excited about the opportunity to work with his friends and be part of a popular faction on the main roster.
"I think the original idea was me, Bray [Wyatt], and Bo [Dallas] as a trio. That's what was told to me from Hunter [Triple H], basically. So obviously I'm gonna jump at that. I'm friends with both of those guys. It would have been creatively just an unbelievable opportunity working there, working on the main roster wrestling all over the world with two guys that I get along with well, and obviously a huge part of the show at that point," he said.

Wrestling veteran says The Wyatt Sicks targeting top WWE star accomplished nothing
Ever since Uncle Howdy returned with his sinister friends on the RAW brand, they targeted Chad Gable. The Wyatt Sicks have dominated the American Made, securing numerous victories in various match combinations.
On an episode of Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW, wrestling veteran Vince Russo criticized The Wyatt Sicks' targeting of Master Gable, stating that their actions were pointless. The former WWE writer questioned the company's creative team and the effectiveness of the storyline.
"Chad Gable was the only guy they targeted, right? Apparently, Chad Gable is totally fine now. So, what did they accomplish? Is Bo Dallas asking that question?" Vince Russo said. [From 46:50 - 47:15]
