Universal Studios Senior Director Says He Reached Out To WWE About Wyatt Sicks Collaboration Immediately After Their Debut
Details about the Halloween Horror Nights collaboration.
At the Orlando and Hollywood locations for Universal Studios, there are going to be Wyatt Sicks-themed attractions for Halloween Horror Nights. The Hollywood location will bring the attraction out on September 4th, and it’ll run through November 2nd. The Orlando location is going to run from August 29th through November 2nd.
There’s a feature from The Hollywood Reporter about Halloween Horror Nights 2025, and a portion of the write-up is about The Wyatt Sicks attraction. Mike Aiello, Universal Studios Senior Director, stated that he reached out to WWE about a Wyatt Sicks collaboration after seeing their debut on WWE television in 2024.
“The Wyatt Sicks debuted, and their entrance was them wreaking havoc and destroying environments unique to the backstage of a WWE live show. It looked like one of our haunted houses on live television, so I placed a call as soon as RAW ended.”
The Hollywood Reporter included a preview of what people will see in the attraction:
In Orlando, you’ll venture through the derelict and abandoned Firefly Funhouse featuring remnants of The Fiend’s influence, before being surrounded by “imagery of WWE media taken over by Uncle Howdy before you dive into the minds of the Wyatt six.” Scary monsters and characters are promised in various environments, such as Abby’s witch hut, where “she can crawl all around you,” teases Sauls. Human victims are pecked and consumed in Huskus the Pig Boy and Mercy the Buzzard’s realms, alongside Rambling Rabbit’s spiraling tea-party-inspired dimension, where their mouths are sewn shut. That’s along with new characters unique to the house, and a ton of easter eggs for WWE fans within environments that “live and breathe the same level of textures that exist in the ring,” says Aiello.
In Hollywood, Murdy’s take is partly inspired by seeing the wrestlers of the early ’70s live, mingled with the creative universe and cinematic storytelling approach of Bray. Fans are greeted by Uncle Howdy at the Wyatt compound, “this Bayou in the middle of a swamp,” and “an environment I’ve never done at Horror Nights with fireflies” that will feature music as part of the entry. Throughout the house, there will be inspirations, set pieces, or more tied to Bray’s rocking chair, the cave Uncle Howdy said he brought the Wyatt Sicks from, the Uncle Howdy sessions, and Bray’s lantern. “We use that whole idea of follow the lantern and follow the light of the fireflies to take you into this supernatural realm of the Wyatt six,” says Murdy. “In every scene you’re going to see that lantern and it keeps showing up in different ways, in different locations.”
The Wyatt Sicks’ Joe Gacy and Dexter Lumis are the reigning WWE Tag Team Champions and retained their titles at SummerSlam in a TLC match.
