Matt Hardy has jumped into the conversation surrounding several former Wyatt Sicks members and their possible future in TNA. WWE released the faction earlier this year, and since then its former members have been searching for their next home in the business.
The chatter picked up after reports linked Joseph Sawyer — known to wrestling fans as Joe Gacy — and Sam Shaw, who competed under a different name during his WWE run, to TNA. Neither move has been confirmed, but the speculation was enough to draw a response from Hardy, who shared his own perspective on where the group could fit.
Hardy’s voice carries some weight here. He’s spent years around TNA in both an in-ring and behind-the-scenes capacity, and he’s no stranger to character-driven storytelling — his own “Broken” Matt Hardy run remains one of the most acclaimed creative arcs in modern wrestling history. A stable built on the surreal, cult-like presentation the Wyatt Sicks brought to WWE would seem to line up naturally with the kind of bold, left-of-center booking Hardy has long been associated with.
The Wyatt Sicks emerged in WWE as an extension of Bray Wyatt’s mythology, built around unsettling visuals, tightly choreographed entrances, and a mysterious hierarchy that fans spent months trying to decode. Even after roster changes hit the group, that presentation made its members some of the more distinctive characters on WWE television. Losing that platform doesn’t erase the appeal of the concept — it just leaves it looking for a new promotion willing to lean into it.
That’s exactly why TNA makes sense as a landing spot in theory. The promotion has spent the last couple of years actively adding names cut loose by WWE, using free agency as a quick way to deepen its roster and add star power without waiting on a long developmental pipeline. A ready-made faction with an established visual identity and built-in intrigue would be a low-risk, potentially high-reward addition for a company always looking to make noise on a crowded wrestling calendar.
Of course, none of this confirms that Gacy, Shaw, or anyone else tied to the group is actually TNA-bound. Wrestlers hitting the open market get connected to seemingly every promotion under the sun during speculation season, and plenty of those rumors never materialize. But Hardy weighing in publicly suggests there’s at least real industry buzz behind the idea, even if the pieces haven’t been officially put in place.
For now, the former Wyatt Sicks members remain free agents exploring their options, and TNA remains one of several promotions being floated as a possible destination. Whether that speculation turns into an actual signing is something worth keeping an eye on as the offseason chatter continues.
