CHAOS REIGNS: Uncle Howdy Blasts Solo Sikoa in Shocking Wyatt Sicks Ambush to End SmackDown Go-Home Show
SmackDown Fallout: Wyatt Sicks Emerge from the Shadows to Target WWE’s Enforcer
Denver, Colorado bore witness to one of the most chilling and consequential endings in recent WWE history on the final SmackDown before Survivor Series. The November 28, 2025, ‘go-home’ episode, which was stacked with high-stakes matches, culminated in the emergence of The Wyatt Sicks, with Uncle Howdy delivering a devastating Sister Abigail to the brand’s powerhouse, Solo Sikoa.
This dramatic conclusion immediately overshadows all other developments, transforming the narrative heading into the weekend’s Premium Live Event. The message is clear: the terrifying, supernatural faction has chosen its first major target, and it is the self-proclaimed ‘Enforcer’ of The MFT (The New Bloodline).
The shocking ambush occurred just moments after Sikoa had outlasted Sami Zayn to become the sole survivor for his team (The MFT—Major Faction Takeover) in a chaotic and grueling 5-on-5 Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Match. The victory celebration was cut short as the lights dropped, the unsettling music began, and the nightmare-fueled cult—composed of Uncle Howdy and his masked associates—surrounded the ring. The sight of Uncle Howdy standing over a prone, Samoan Spike-weary Sikoa, completing the Sister Abigail maneuver, sent a definitive jolt across the WWE Universe and provided the biggest piece of breaking news in the last 24 hours of pro wrestling.
The MFT’s Victory Doused in Darkness
The 5-on-5 Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Match served as the main event, pitting Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, Talla Tonga, Tonga Loa, and JC Mateo of The MFT against a united front of Sami Zayn, Shinsuke Nakamura, Rey Fenix, and The Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin). The match was a visceral brawl, a perfect blend of high-flying maneuvers and brutal brawling that set the tone for the upcoming WarGames weekend.
Eliminations were rapid and decisive. Chris Sabin took out JC Mateo early. The veteran Shinsuke Nakamura was eliminated by Tama Tonga following a distraction from Sikoa, swinging the momentum. Rey Fenix then evened the odds by eliminating Tonga Loa. The MFT, however, proved too ruthless, with Talla Tonga neutralizing Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin in quick succession, hitting Shelley with a devastating chokeslam on the apron.
This left Sami Zayn alone against three members of The MFT. Displaying his trademark heart, Zayn mounted an incredible comeback, eliminating Tama Tonga with a Helluva Kick and then strategically getting Talla Tonga counted out on the floor. The final showdown was a tense, hard-hitting slugfest between Sikoa and Zayn. Despite Zayn’s desperation and multiple near-falls (including a sunset flip counter to a top-rope splash), Sikoa caught him with the Samoan Spike for the victory, ensuring The MFT’s dominance continued, at least for a few fleeting seconds.
But the triumph was instantly eclipsed. The sight of the Wyatt Sicks, a faction shrouded in mystery and malevolence, targeting the group that has become the spiritual successor to The Bloodline, hints at a seismic shift in WWE’s landscape. Is this the start of a new war? Or is Solo Sikoa being punished for carrying a similar mantle of dominance that his cousin, Roman Reigns, once held? The timing—on the go-home show before one of WWE’s ‘Big Four’ events—is a clear statement of intent that the Wyatt Sicks are not content to merely stalk the fringes of the roster. They are here for the biggest names.
Last Time Is Now Tournament Heats Up
While the main event provided the horror, the quest to be John Cena’s final opponent provided the drama. ‘The Last Time Is Now Tournament’ continued with two high-profile quarterfinal matches, setting the stage for a blockbuster semifinal clash.
Jey Uso advanced by overcoming the brute strength and resilience of Rusev. Uso survived the Accolade and, in a hard-fought battle, secured the pinfall after a Spear and the Uso Splash.
The major surprise of the night, however, was the opponent for LA Knight. Replacing the injured Sheamus, The Miz shockingly appeared as the ‘mystery opponent.’ In a battle of two of WWE’s most vocal veterans, LA Knight secured the victory, countering a Skull-Crushing Finale attempt into the BFT (Blunt Force Trauma) to punch his ticket to the semifinals.
This means the tournament semifinals are officially set: Jey Uso vs. LA Knight. The winner will face the victor of the other bracket (currently expected to be between Gunther and Solo Sikoa) to earn the right to compete against John Cena in his final match on December 13th at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event. The impending showdown between the emotional powerhouse of Uso and the charismatic ‘Megastar’ Knight is a dream match for the WWE Universe, making this year-end tournament an unmissable spectacle.
WarGames Advantage Secured by The Queen
In preparation for the two-ring steel cage structure, the Women’s WarGames Advantage match saw Charlotte Flair take on Asuka. This was a crucial opportunity for Flair’s team (which includes Alexa Bliss, Rhea Ripley, AJ Lee, and IYO SKY) to gain the entry advantage for the WarGames match at Survivor Series against Asuka’s team (Kairi Sane, Lash Legend, Nia Jax, and Becky Lynch).
The match lived up to its high stakes. In the decisive moment, Flair narrowly avoided the Green Mist, which instead blinded the timekeeper. Flair was able to capitalize on the chaos, ultimately reversing an Asuka Lock attempt into a pinning combination before securing the win with the Natural Selection. Charlotte Flair’s team will now hold the numerical advantage in the looming WarGames match, adding another layer of complexity to the intense rivalry.
Global SmackDown Reach
The November 28th broadcast was a worldwide affair, airing live in the United States on the USA Network and internationally on Netflix. This global distribution highlights the importance of the SmackDown brand as a truly international phenomenon, connecting fans from India (6:30 AM IST), the UK (1 AM BST), and Canada (8 PM ET) to the week-to-week action.
The breaking news of the Wyatt Sicks’ return, therefore, has immediate international reverberations, setting the stage for one of the most unpredictable Survivor Series events in memory.
