Potential Return Date of Missing WWE Faction Revealed

WWE could use a jolt. After WrestleMania, the writing has been lackluster, particularly on "SmackDown," a show that is 90 minutes too long. There is a lack of star power without some prominent main event performers, but the angles are vanilla and lack urgency.

The calendar seems to revolve solely around the "big four" PLEs, and if none are on the immediate horizon, the product dramatically falters in quality. The booking is unquestionably the prominent catalyst for the on-screen decline, but the thinning roster trying to support two distinct brands is becoming an increasing issue. Luckily for fans, "SmackDown" might be adding some popular reinforcements.

According to Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp, the Wyatt Sicks are at the blue brand tonight.

"The Wyatt Sicks are at the location of tonight's WWE Smackdown, Fightful has confirmed," Sapp wrote. The Wyatts were taken off TV when Bo Dallas/Uncle Howdy was sidelined. "However, he's been cleared for months. Earlier this year, Fightful reported that the Wyatt Sicks weren't planning for a return until at least WrestleMania at the earliest. While it was implied to us that they'd be on tonight's show, it hasn't been confirmed."

"We're here."

The faction instantly got over since they were paying tribute to Bray Wyatt, but the long-term shelf life of the group has been unclear from the start. It's unclear if they will split up and have a hierarchy, with a tag team and single competitors, or if they will only compete as a stable.

Their unique aesthetic makes them intriguing, and if they can be a part of an engaging storyline, the act can be a hit on Friday nights.
