Welcome Back, Wyatt Sicks!

WWE SmackDown this week was marked by a thrilling return that had fans buzzing: the Wyatt Sicks made their comeback on Bray Wyatt’s 38th birthday! In a chaotic closing segment, Uncle Howdy, Nikki Cross, Dexter Lumis, Joe Gacy, and Erick Rowan stormed the ring, sending shockwaves through the crowd. With their familiar music blaring, the group delivered a powerful tribute to Wyatt, reminding everyone that their journey is guided by his legacy. Amidst explosions of chaos, their chilling presence hinted at ambitions in the tag team scene.

Highlights: Giulia's Climactic Victory

One of the standout moments was undoubtedly Giulia's stunning qualification for the Women's Money in the Bank ladder match. In a nail-biting clash against established superstars Charlotte Flair and Zelina Vega, Giulia's victory was not only a personal triumph but also a larger statement about her potential in WWE. The match featured impressive exchanges, despite Vega taking the pin, and left fans excited for the potential showdown between Giulia and Flair in the future.

Love-Hate Relationship with Candice LeRae's Storyline

As much as we adore Candice LeRae, her current storyline has left many scratching their heads. WWE has once again paired her with husband Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa, a move that feels uninspired. While fans had high hopes for a fresh narrative with a reimagined 'The Way,' seeing LeRae relegated back to familiar territory feels more like a misstep than a creative pivot. It's time for WWE to unleash LeRae's full potential!

Mundane Promos and Missed Opportunities

R-Truth's promo this week hit a dull note. Echoing the tired sentiments about John Cena felt repetitive and uninspired, especially given Truth's usually entertaining persona. With Cena absent, this segment fell flat, indicating a significant missed opportunity to build hype for Saturday Night’s Main Event.

Women's Match at Saturday Night's Main Event

On a brighter note, fans are looking forward to the women’s match scheduled for Saturday Night's Main Event. Zelina Vega will finally defend her Women's United States Championship against Chelsea Green, a long-awaited rematch after Vega snatched the title from Green. With both women boasting strong fan support, the stakes are high, adding tension to this electric showdown.

The Wyatt Sicks Unveiled: What's Next?

While the Wyatt Sicks have returned to the WWE, there's an unresolved mystery surrounding Alexa Bliss. Both fans and critics are eager for her reunion with the faction, but her current storyline diverges from that dark allure. The potential for an intriguing narrative as Bliss finds her way back to the Wyatt Sicks looms large, especially if WWE commits to weaving in her character with their storyline.

Final Thoughts

This week’s WWE SmackDown delivered a mixed bag of emotions, from the joyous return of the Wyatt Sicks to the frustrating creative limitations faced by talented wrestlers like LeRae. As the countdown to the Money in the Bank event continues, fans are left hopeful that WWE will steer these engaging storylines in the right direction. Let’s see if the excitement from this week can carry over, giving us a blockbuster show in the weeks ahead!
