Could the return of a Wyatt Family member reignite the magic in WWE? Who do you think it is?

The Wyatt Sicks continues to pull at the heartstrings and plague the minds of the WWE faithful after their eventful debut last month. Even with expectations sky-high, the group managed to leave the WWE Universe in awe. Bo Dallas, Nikki Cross, Dexter Lumis, Joe Gacy, and Erick Rowan all wreaked havoc during their debut by attacking several noteworthy stars. Afterward, they focused on developing the character of Bo Dallas as he interacted with Uncle Howdy on VHS tapes. Now the group has furthered their agenda of fleshing out their members by offering a cryptic clue.

The aforementioned names were ideas of Bray Wyatt and have now taken on a life of their own. Before their much-anticipated debut, they shared several clues, hints, and QR codes for the fans to decipher during WWE programming and on social media. And it seems like they’re not done with making the WWE Universe play detectives. They’ve shared another recent mystery for all to solve.

In a recent tweet by the sinister faction‘s official Twitter handle, they shared a photograph of a mystery figure shrouded in a red tint. The caption shared a mysterious code. As it read, “097 114 101 032 115 105 099 107 063”. While many wondered about what the code could mean, one user finally shared who the mystery man in the picture was. They also explained the meaning behind the mystery cipher.

A Twitter user by the name of @Rs1Banks finally revealed to the WWE Universe what the codes meant as well as who the mystery man in the picture was. The Twitter user deciphered the code to read out ‘Are Sick?’. Erick Rowan emerged as the figure behind the post. The user also shared how he found this out in his caption. The user wrote, “Wyatt Sicks new post on twitter, as has been decoded by others online says the words ‘Are Sick?’ (Thanks @SubToSlamX) Here is a better view of the face with the red filter taken down a lot and to me it looks a lot like Erick Rowan. Maybe we get a video of Rowan on WWE RAW tomorrow. What do you all think?”

But does the Twitter user’s theory hold weight? To figure out the answer, we will have to explore the former Wyatt family member’s career trajectory.

What’s your perspective on:

Could the return of a Wyatt Family member reignite the magic in WWE? Who do you think it is?

Have an interesting take?

Does Erick Rowan fit the bill?

If Erick Rowan soon returns to RAW with the Wyatt Sick6, he will be making his proper return to the promotion that he was once fired from. The wrestler worked for WWE from 2012 to 2020. In 2020, he earned his marching orders from the WWE as part of a budget cut because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, Rowan has competed as a free agent for several promotions on the independent circuit. He even wrestled twice for All Elite Wrestling.

Rowan is remembered by fans as one of the original members of The Wyatt Family. He enjoyed a storied past with the dreaded faction as they secured three tag team championships during their heyday. His last appearance on WWE programming took place on the episode of SmackDown in tribute to the late Bray Wyatt. He joined Braun Strowman in one of the most emotional moments of the night. As an independent wrestler, Rowan competed under the stage name “Erick Redbeard.” Now, finally, he is a part of the WWE and might mark his proper return on RAW.

Rumors have suggested that Uncle Howdy could introduce the gimmicks and goals of the new Wyatt Sicks members as he did in the personal chat with Bo Dallas. The leader of the Wyatt Sicks had stated that he planned to gather all the lost sheep and give them purpose. This exact promise prompted Rowan to follow in the footsteps of Bray Wyatt during their illustrious first run. It looks like the former AEW star has fallen for a similar ruse yet again as an enticing Uncle Howdy looks to guide him to the light. The story of why and how he joined the Wyatt Sicks could come into play sooner rather than later as evidenced by the tease on social media.

So, are you excited to see his return? Do you agree with the assessment that it’s Erick Rowan in the post? Let us know in the comments.
