Capacity is slowing being increased at Luton with regards to slots, stands and the terminal. It is debatable why Wizz would want to operate any services through Southend but we will have to wait and see.
While Southend is clearly unrestricted with regard to slots, the airport can only be described as marginal with is short, narrow CAT 1 runway. While Wizz operate most of their departures from the intersections of Luton's runway, which is similar to Southend's total length, when the weather conditions are not ideal Wizz will backtrack.
