WWE has an incredible new faction taking over Monday Night RAW.

After what felt like months of teases on social media and through QR codes,

The Wyatt Sicks made their debut on Monday Night RAW.

The group consists of Uncle Howdy aka Bo Dallas,

Dexter Lumis, Erick Rowan, Nikki Cross, and Joe Gacy. The five stars laid waste to many backstage in their debut and have continued haunting some performers, namely Chad Gable, ever since.

Notably, however, despite the intense debut, The Wyatt Sicks aren’t heels. They are feuding with the villainous Chad Gable and the newly-turned Creed Brothers. Beyond that, weekly vignettes have shown them in a sympathetic light.

Many fans may be surprised that this dangerous stable has been made good guys by Triple H. Despite it being unusual, the move makes a lot of sense. This article will take a look at a handful of reasons why The Game is booking this fiendish faction as babyfaces on Monday Night RAW.

Below are four reasons why WWE made The Wyatt Sicks babyfaces.

#4. The faction represents Bray Wyatt’s ideas
The Wyatt Sicks has roots dating back far further than their official debut on WWE television. As the name implies, the group was originally based on the late great Bray Wyatt and his vision.

Bray Wyatt teased some kind of Wyatt6 faction long before he even returned to WWE in 2022. From there, he was seemingly setting everything up alongside Uncle Howdy prior to his unfortunate health issues that led to his early passing.

Fans loved Bray Wyatt, so it is only natural that a group based around his ideas would be a babyface faction. Fans love and miss Bray, so the former world champion being represented by others is bound to receive love and admiration. Trying to make them heels just wouldn’t work.

#3. Some members of the group are mourning and WWE fans know it
The passing of Bray Wyatt was heavy for many people. A lot of WWE fans grew up watching him dating back to Bray’s days as Husky Harris. He captivated fans and the wrestling audience formed a bond with wrestlers that very few avenues of sports or entertainment can replicate.

The reality is, however, that as bonded as fans were and are to the late Wyatt, his actual family and friends have it even tougher. The Wyatt Sicks currently features his brother Bo Dallas and one of Bray’s best friends Erick Rowan.

Rowan and Dallas are obviously and rightfully devastated over the loss of Bray. Fans know this and that in turn makes them sympathetic figures. As callous as some wrestling fans can get at times, even the most hardened WWE audience members wouldn’t want to boo those mourning the loss of Wyatt. Making them heels just wouldn’t work knowing what the group is going through.

#2. The Wyatt Sicks are just plain cool
Outside of the obvious trauma and emotional aspect of The Wyatt Sicks, there are other practical and, perhaps less important, reasons the faction belongs as babyfaces instead of heels. The most clear is their presentation.

To put it bluntly, The Wyatt Sicks are just plain cool. The horror theme is something a lot of people like. Be it fans of Halloween, horror movies, or heavy metal, the WWE stable has a look and feel that really fits with what that portion of the audience enjoys.

Even the way the group was introduced, as heelish as the total destruction was, reeked of being cool. The camera shots, the masks, Dexter Lumis sitting around piled bodies, the one take walk through. Everything about The Wyatt Sicks is just really interesting and appealing, which makes it hard to boo them.

#1. Heels being scared of the group works better than babyfaces being fearful
The final reason why The Wyatt Sicks belong as babyfaces comes down to the nature of what their gimmick is and how others interact with it. They are supposed to be movie monsters, but people usually cheer the monsters in horror movies.

Beyond who fans would cheer for, though, is how the wrestlers react. If a WWE star is supposed to be a brave babyface, running scared of the dangerous faction immediately hurts their credibility.

Alternatively, Chad Gable or The Creed Brothers, now villains on WWE RAW, running scared makes sense. Villains run from the heroes in all genres of entertainment including wrestling. The Wyatt Sicks being babyfaces help prevent other characters in the company from being damaged by fearing the faction.
