The wrestling world was taken by storm with the debut of the Wyatt Sicks on last week’s “WWE RAW.” After months of cryptic QR codes and hidden messages, Uncle Howdy’s new faction finally made their explosive entrance, causing chaos backstage and attacking multiple stars and crew members. While the audience largely praised this dramatic unveiling, WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash had a different perspective.
Speaking on his “Kliq This” podcast, Nash candidly expressed his disappointment with the segment, feeling it lacked substance and clarity. “Couldn’t get a feel for it, they really didn’t do anything,” Nash remarked, suggesting that the segment served more as a tribute to the late Bray Wyatt rather than advancing a compelling storyline.
Nash elaborated on his thoughts, acknowledging the innovative attempt but questioning its execution. “I think that it’s more of a tribute to Bray. I think it’s thinking out of the box. I think it gives you more possibilities because it has gotten very wrestling, and I mean it’s just, I don’t know where it’s going to go,” he said. Despite his initial reservations, Nash admitted he was more intrigued by the future of the Wyatt Sicks than other current wrestling storylines. “Let me put it this way, I’m much more interested to see where that’s going than I am if Shane [McMahon] shows up on AEW.”
The Hall of Famer also shared his initial confusion with Bray Wyatt’s Fiend character when it first debuted on the main roster. He recalled being uncertain about its direction and purpose, a sentiment he now feels towards the Wyatt Sicks. However, Nash hasn’t entirely dismissed the potential of this new faction. He suggested that WWE’s upcoming move to Netflix on January 1 could open new creative avenues for the Wyatt Sicks, allowing for darker, more mature storytelling that may resonate better with audiences.
“The move to Netflix could help the group become an even darker, scarier, and more intriguing faction,” Nash speculated. “With the possibility of showcasing less PG content, there’s room for the Wyatt Sicks to develop into something truly unique and compelling.”
