The WWE Universe was left in awe on June 17, 2024, as the Wyatt Sicks faction made its highly anticipated debut on WWE Raw. This momentous occasion came on the heels of the “Bray Wyatt: Becoming Immortal” documentary, which hinted at Bray Wyatt’s return. The emotional impact of this debut resonated deeply with fans and WWE colleagues alike.
WWE commentator Corey Graves recently joined Peter Rosenberg on the “Over the Top with Beadle and Rosenberg” podcast, where he opened up about his heartfelt reaction to the debut. Graves’ emotional response highlighted the profound influence Bray Wyatt, also known as Windham Rotunda, had on the wrestling community.
“I cried. Peter, I sobbed,” Graves confessed. “I was in bed, my wife was asleep, so I had ‘Raw’ on with the volume turned very low. I assumed the debut would happen at the end of the show. I wasn’t sure what to expect because Bray/Windham meant so many things to so many different people. It was such a unique character, a unique presentation. I don’t think it could’ve been done any better than it was on Monday night.”
The debut of the Wyatt Sicks faction was not just a significant moment for fans but also a deeply emotional experience for those who had worked closely with Wyatt. The new group, seemingly led by Bo Dallas, who revived the Uncle Howdy character, includes Erick Rowan, Joe Gacy, Dexter Lumis, and Nikki Cross. This ensemble brought Wyatt’s legacy back to life, creating a poignant tribute to the beloved “Firefly.”
Graves’ emotional connection to the debut was evident as he recounted his reaction to Uncle Howdy’s reveal. “When Uncle Howdy was revealed, and Uncle Howdy started walking toward the camera, man, I’m telling you, I know the man behind Uncle Howdy as well as I know the man behind Bray Wyatt, and there was something magical happening there,” Graves said. “It was a home run. I got out of bed, went back downstairs to my living room, and watched it two more times in a row.”
The Wyatt Six debut was a skillful blend of storytelling and acting, with a tribute to Bray Wyatt’s unique character bringing a new chapter to the WWE Universe the addition of Wyatt’s real-life brother Bo Dallas adding extra emotional depth, to the debut is even more impressive.
As WWE Raw viewers watched Uncle Howdy walk towards the camera, a sense of desire and excitement filled the air.
