A huge WWE faction might be returning on "Friday Night SmackDown."

The blue brand is scheduled to take place in Savannah on Friday, and it's a loaded show with two qualifiers for the "Money in the Bank 2025" ladder matches. There will also be a WWE Tag Team Championship match. If recent reports are to be believed, then fans could be in for a major surprise.

Multiple reports from Cory Hays of PW Nexus, Fightful, and PWInsider have confirmed that The Wyatt Sicks stable is on the scene for "WWE SmackDown." It's been heavily implied that the faction will be appearing on the show, but the appearance of the group isn't concrete at this time.

The Wyatt Sicks haven't appeared on WWE TV in 2025. It was reported that the company had been waiting on faction leader Uncle Howdy to be medically cleared to return to action. While he's been cleared to perform for a while, WWE was said to be holding off on the stable's return.

It was previously reported by Fightful that WWE had no plans on having The Wyatt Sicks return until "WrestleMania 41" wrapped up. At this time, there's no word on whether or not Alexa Bliss will be involved if the faction does return on Friday.

Bliss qualified for the women's MITB match last week and has been involved in a storyline where she's trying to align with Charlotte Flair. Whether or not The Wyatt Sicks get involved in Flair's MITB qualifying match against Giulia and WWE Women's United States Champion Zelina Vega remains to be seen.
