Days after the debut of the Bray Wyatt faction ‘The Wyatt Sicks (6) on WWE RAW, the professional wrestling universe is still riding high on both buzz and emotion, and some of the latter was genuinely raw — no pun intended — as wrestlers, fans and broadcasters alike all tearfully witnessed the realization of the late Wyatt’s dream … er … um … nightmare.
Corey Graves, longtime broadcaster and one of WWE’s most recognizable voices, found himself emotionally rocked to his very core during the segment that has now amassed nearly three million views on WWE’s YouTube channel and twice that on their TikTok.
Speaking to the “Over the Top” podcast with Peter Rosenberg, Graves detailed his feelings.
FULL EXPLANATION OF THE WYATT SICKS (6) IS HERE.
"I was watching it in bed, and when Uncle Howdy was revealed, and he started walking toward the camera, I'm telling you, I know the man behind Uncle Howdy [Wyatt’s real-life brother Bo Dallas] as well as I knew the man behind Bray Wyatt,” Graves said. “There was something magical happening when Howdy started walking, and hearing the crowd understand what was happening, I got emotional.
“Bray was so important to so many of us, and everything he created and took so much care of and so much pride in, it would have been a disservice to do anything less than perfection. It was a home run."
The episodes of RAW and SmackDown that memorialized Wyatt were filled with streams of tears from WWE superstars, broadcasters and office executives like Paul “Triple H” Levesque, and Alexa Bliss remains absent from wrestling as she continues to work through the grief of losing Wyatt unexpectedly to cardiac arrest in August 2023.

His impact will eternally be felt, and his legacy is even present on the skin of several in the locker room, including Shotzi.
Where the WWE goes from here with the Wyatt Sicks 6 is anyone’s guess, but it’s clear no one is safe on RAW, SmackDown or even NXT.
There’s even a rumor the faction was responsible for the very strange blackout that occurred during an episode this week of The Pat McAfee Show, and seeing as McAfee is the newest addition to the WWE broadcast table, it’s not difficult to draw a connection between the disruption the Wyatt Sicks 6 and his show going pitch black.
Or at least that’s what they want us to believe, which simply means they’re plan is already working:
Everyone is already looking over our shoulders.
