Joe Gacy Comments on When He Felt Wyatt Sicks Started Losing Momentum

Former WWE Superstar Joe Gacy recently opened up about the moment he felt the Wyatt Sicks faction started losing momentum. The Wyatt Sicks (Uncle Howdy, Joe Gacy, Erick Rowan, Dexter Lumis, and Nikki Cross) arrived in WWE during the summer of 2024. However, WWE released the entire faction as part of its post-WrestleMania budget cuts this past April.

Gacy appeared on INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet this week. During the conversation, he was asked about the instance when he felt that the group had started losing momentum. Gacy said that WWE made a huge mistake by not allowing individual characters to develop.

Uncle Howdy, AKA Bo Dallas, suffered an injury in early 2025, leading to the entire faction being off television for several months. Gacy said WWE should have allowed the other members to remain on TV during that period. Here’s what Joe Gacy said:

“I think, in my opinion, it’s because they didn’t really allow us to develop individually. So I think a lot of the focus was on Taylor, which obviously makes sense. He’s the leader. I do feel like that if they allowed us to develop a little bit more individually, like even our first VHS tapes that were put out early on after the debut. I know Rowan had a chance; his VHS vignette was a little longer than ours. But I filmed one where I cut a whole promo, and they just didn’t use it. They just had me humming and rocking back and forth. I just feel like if we had the chance to develop a little more, get a little bit more connection with the audience.

“Unfortunately, there was a time when Taylor had to take some time off because of a health issue. They kind of pushed pause on us, and I think that not allowing us to have that little development where we could have carried things on a little bit on our own, he took the time off, we could have still carried on and done stuff creatively without him, and then could have had a big moment when he came back. I think that was maybe the beginning, because I guess in their eyes, there the group was Taylor, which I do to an extent understand, but I think we just weren’t given the chance to develop ourselves so we can also become more of a presence in the group.”
