WWE Universe got to witness one of the most memorable editions of RAW on June 17, as the show had a number of surprises for the fans. It’s true that the highly anticipated debut of Wyatt Sicks has turned out to be the biggest talking point from the red brand’s latest episode. The 3-hour show also saw the surprise return of the one and only Seth Rollins.
The Visionary was absent from WWE ever since his involvement in the main event of WrestleMania 40 Night 2, as he then went on to have surgery for his knee. The audience believed him to stay away from action for a while, but he returned sooner than expected. Despite coming back way earlier, Seth hasn’t received the kind of support he deserves.
The reason behind this is the position of Seth Rollins on the recently released list of WWE’s most liked videos on their official Twitter, post WrestleMania XL season. On the list, The Visionary is placed eighth, and looking at the kind of star power he possesses, it is probably too low for the return of one of the biggest superstars of the generation.

While Seth’s own ranking is surprising, another thing that has taken people by surprise is the response to Wyatt Sicks’ WWE debut. The faction’s appearance left behind the Seth by an unimaginable difference, as they got the a top position on the list. But, soon their appearance reached on the second place, as Joe Hendry’s debut grabbed the top spot. if this is the sign of things to come, it’s safe to say that the group is going to continue to be a very popular thing for a long time.
WWE’s decision to delay Wyatt 6 debut worked in their favor
It’s true that everyone felt that the faction was going to get a great reaction from the audience, but the extent of support being so high is something that not many would have expected. But it seems like WWE’s decision to delay Wyatt Sicks’ debut worked in their favor, and it has helped them get a lot more recognition among enthusiasts of pro wrestling.
The Triple H-led promotion had been teasing the return of the Uncle Howdy-led stable for a long time, and it finally happened on the latest episode of RAW. It was evident from the teases that the company has worked really hard to make this whole idea a reality, but the audience was getting impatient for their debut, as the company probably took to long to have Wyatt Sicks made their WWE debut.
But, the wait turned out to be fruitful, as fans witnessed one of the best segments in recent memory, as Wyatt Sicks made their presence felt on RAW. Some believe that even Gunther was sacrificed to make the debut impactful, and it gives a hint about the push the faction is going to get. Amid this, it’s understandable why Seth Rollins’ return went under the radar of the incredible debut segment on the June 16 edition of Monday Night RAW.
Seth Rollins’ made an instant impact with his return despite being low on the list
Even though The Visionary remained way behind Wyatt Sicks in terms of social media numbers, his return was still pretty fruitful. Seth was interrupted by Damian Priest during his recent appearance on WWE RAW, and this interaction resulted in a World Heavyweight Championship opportunity for the veteran performer.
As officially announced by the company, Rollins will be challenging The Judgment Day star for the title at the MITB 2024 event in Canada. Getting a shot at a top prize in the promotion, that too in his first appearance after a hiatus, is obviously a great thing for Rollins. Due to this, Seth Rollins made an instant impact with his return despite being low on the list, and that’s why he won’t be disappointed.

Now that The Visionary has booked his spot for a title match against Damian, it’ll be interesting to see if he can regain his position as the top guy on RAW. On the other hand, it also remains to be seen how well the newly-debuted faction fairs on the red brand. In fact, it would be pretty interesting to see if Wyatt Sicks targets Rollins in the near future or not.
