The Wretched’s ability triggers only if it’s still on the battlefield when the end of combat step begins (after the combat damage step). For example, if it’s blocked by a 7/7 creature and is destroyed, its ability won’t trigger at all.
The Wretched
If The Wretched leaves the battlefield, you no longer control it, so the duration of its control-change effect ends.
If you lose control of The Wretched before its ability resolves, you won’t gain control of the creatures blocking it at all.
