4 Ups & 2 Downs From WWE SmackDown (5 Dec - Results & Review)

Downs...

2. So This Feud Is Gonna Be A Chore

Anyone who reads this article regularly already knows that the dude writing it has a tough time getting onboard with The Wyatt Sicks. The fact they're a tribute act in memory of Bray is awesome, but that's where the praise stops. Personally, this fan didn't like Joe Gacy and Dexter Lumis winning the tag titles, and he doesn't like the way The Sicks managed to swoop in and seize control in an otherwise hot SmackDown doubles division.

Solo Sikoa's MFT group have slightly more potential, but this feud between both sides is already sucking wind. MFTs want the tag belts, and they want revenge for The Sicks attacking them last week following the traditional Survivor Series elimination bout. Here, Erick Rowan and Talla Tonga going nose to nose was fun, but there isn’t much to look forward to from this rivalry overall.

Said it before, and it’s worth saying again: The quicker Sikoa’s crew take the straps from The Sicks, the better. Surely others are over Uncle Howdy and pals by this point? It's just the same thing over and over and over again with them, and that's unlikely to change heading into 2026. It's dull. Genuinely dull.

There are only so many staredown spots one group can work, and there are only so many poetic/cryptic promos one fanbase can listen to before something has to change. This isn't character development, and it says everything that The Wyatts could be about to hold MFTs back. Think about that for a second!

Please, please, please burn through this ASAP.
