On the May 23 edition of SmackDown, the Wyatt Sicks made their long-awaited return to WWE programming – fittingly on what would have been Bray Wyatt’s 38th birthday.
The faction interfered in the main event Tag Team Title match between The Street Profits and Fraxiom, taking out much of the tag division in a chaotic closing angle.
The segment clearly worked, drawing a “This is awesome” chant from the crowd at the arena.
Now that the group has returned, the question is: will its ranks grow even larger – and if so, who could join them? Here are five potential new Wyatt Sicks members.
5. Alexa Bliss
The most likely new member of the Wyatt Sicks is, of course, Alexa Bliss.
The 33-year-old recently returned to WWE programming on SmackDown, appearing in backstage segments and attempting to befriend Charlotte Flair.
On the May 24 edition, Bliss was seen backstage by Flair speaking to her old doll, Lilly – an ominous nod that preceded the Wyatt Sicks’ return later in the show.
Whether or not issues with Flair evolve into a feud, Lilly’s appearance clearly wasn’t without purpose – Bliss seems destined to become the sixth member of the Wyatt Sicks.

4. Aleister Black
Since returning to WWE, Aleister Black has been embroiled in a feud with both The Miz and Carmelo Hayes.
On the May 23 edition of SmackDown, he came up short in a Money in the Bank qualifying three-way match against LA Knight and Shinsuke Nakamura, with Knight securing the win.
For many, Black’s return has so far fallen short of expectations, but given his dark look and aura, a move into the Wyatt Sicks could provide the creative inspiration his comeback needs – while also adding a top-tier in-ring talent to the faction.
Could Aleister Black soon find himself as the group’s next member?

3. Zaria
On NXT programming, there appears to be a slow-burning build toward a split between Women’s North American Champion Sol Ruca and her domineering partner Zaria.
In recent weeks, the Australian performer, Zaria, has impressed with a string of strong performances, thriving in the role of power-heel.
With her striking look, Zaria would slot seamlessly into the dark and unsettling aesthetic of the Wyatt Sicks – potentially forming a tag team with Nikki Cross.
Could her main roster call-up come sooner than expected, with Zaria joining WWE’s darkest faction?

2. Damian Priest
Damian Priest and Drew McIntyre’s long-running feud looks set to finally come to an end inside a steel cage at Saturday Night’s Main Event on May 24.
If Priest comes up short, it will mark a natural point for a shift in direction.
A move into the newly returned Wyatt Sicks could provide a perfect reset – giving the group a high-profile name and giving Priest a fresh, darker edge.
Adding a main-event-calibre star like Priest could be exactly what the faction needs to cement its place at the top of WWE programming.

1. Omos
In a recent interview with WhatCulture, Omos revealed that he is “patiently waiting” for his return to WWE.
The 7’3″ star hasn’t been seen on WWE programming since April 2024, with his last in-ring appearances taking place during a short excursion to Pro Wrestling NOAH earlier in the year.
He emphasised that he’s “ready” to return – comments that coincided with the Wyatt Sicks’ own return, possibly hinting at a connection or transition into the group.
Pairing Omos with Erick Rowan could form a new monster tag team, adding their domineering presence to SmackDown’s tag division.
