The Wyatt Sicks are officially reuniting in public for the first time since WWE released the group following WrestleMania 42. WrestleCon announced the reunion on social media, with the entire Wyatt Sicks lineup booked for a three-day convention appearance over WWE SummerSlam weekend in Minneapolis from July 31 through August 2. The booking marks the first officially announced post-WWE appearance for all five members together since their April 24 releases.
Wyatt Sicks SummerSlam Weekend Lineup Confirmed
The full lineup at WrestleCon will feature the members under their post-WWE names: Bo Dallas (now Taylor Rotunda), Nikki Cross (now Nikki Storm), Dexter Lumis (returning to Samuel Shaw), Erick Rowan (back to Erick Redbeard), and Joe Gacy (now Joseph Sawyer). The convention timing — running directly alongside SummerSlam weekend in Minneapolis — is a deliberate move by WrestleCon, which traditionally schedules its biggest events to coincide with WWE’s major pay-per-view weekends to capture the wrestling fan traffic.

Wyatt Sicks WWE Release Background And Internal Reasoning
The news lands just after Dave Meltzer reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that WWE internally believed the Wyatt Sicks concept had reached its creative ceiling following its initial success as a tribute act tied closely to Bray Wyatt. Meltzer explained that some within WWE felt the gimmick limited the long-term evolution of the performers. “It was just felt that the group had run its course. 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,” Meltzer said. WWE may have decided the group hit its ceiling, but the SummerSlam weekend reunion proves the Wyatt Sicks are not done together by any means. Whether the WrestleCon booking is purely a one-off appearance or the first signal of a coordinated return to the independent scene as a unit remains to be seen, but fans will get their first look at the group in their post-WWE identities at the Minneapolis event.
