- Nikki Cross – Nikki Storm
- Erick Rowan – Erick Redbeard
- Dexter Lumis – Samuel Shaw
- Joe Gacy – Joseph Sawyer
Why did WWE release the Wyatt Sicks?
In an earlier edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter from May 2026, Dave Meltzer opened up and explained the reasons behind WWE’s releases of Wyatt Sicks, Aleister Black, and others.
“It was just felt that the group had run its course. Even at first there were those who saw it as a short-term idea. 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.”
