Joe Gacy To Use ‘Joseph Sawyer’ As New Ring Name Following WWE Release, Wyatt Sicks Reunion Announced For WrestleCon

Former WWE star Joe Gacy is set to use ‘Joseph Sawyer’ as his new ring name after his WWE release, with a Wyatt Sicks reunion now announced.

Back on April 24, WWE held it’s latest round of talent cuts, with 25 confirmed names being released from the company.

Among those names were Uncle Howdy, Erick Rowan, Dexter Lumis, Joe Gacy and Nikki Cross of the Wyatt Sicks, bringing an end to the group’s run after almost 2 years on the main roster.

The members of the Wyatt Sicks are subject to a 90 day non-compete clause before they are free and clear to sign wherever they please.

Joe Gacy To Debut New Ring Name Following WWE Release

Joe Gacy of the Wyatt Sicks was using the ‘Joe Gacy‘ ring name on the independent circuit prior to signing with WWE back in 2021, with him keeping the name for his stint in the company.

However, with WWE now owning the Joe Gacy trademark, he will no longer be able to use the ring name on the independent circuit following his WWE departure, with his new ring name now being revealed.

Gacy is set to use the ring name ‘Joseph Sawyer’ following his WWE departure, which was announced as part of an upcoming Wyatt Sicks reunion.
