2. The Dilemma Of Two New Stables

There is no denying that the Wyatt Sick6 are incredibly popular in every arena, and their act is continuing to click with fans. More on that in a moment.

But pitting this debuting faction against another new faction in American Made has had the effect of turning one group into losers before they’ve been able to find their footing. Chad Gable’s group has continued to show ass each week to the Wyatts, and Monday night was more of the same, this time with Ivy Nile seeing her match against Maxxine Dupri cut short by faltering lights and smoke.

The Wyatts and American Made would square off, with the now-unmasked superstars dispatching with the Creed Brothers and Nile before Uncle Howdy planted Gable with Sister Abigail.

And once again, it was one step forward last week with the Creeds defeating American Alpha, and then the group cowered and got owned again by the Wyatts this week. When the original Wyatt Family and the Shield crossed paths, it was only after both trios had established themselves, making the encounter highly anticipated.

In this case, American Made seems to have been born simply to put over the Wyatt Sick6, making it tough to take them as a threat.
