WWE’s Future Plans For Luke Harper And Erick Rowan

The Wyatt Family were a devastating team of big men that terrorized the WWE roster for quite some time. Albeit, their run could have had more importance and they were used as stepping stones in many instances. But Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, and Erick Rowan were still a force to be reckoned with.

The entrances of them walking to the ring while Rowan dragged Bray’s rocking chair behind him will forever be etched in our brains. Those were great WWE moments.

But all good things must come to an end and that includes WWE stables. The Wyatts had some temporary additions like Daniel Bryan, Braun Strowman, and Randy Orton but right now the family seems to be defunct. It also didn’t help that Bryan and Orton were just inserted into the Wyatt Family only to further establish their rivalries with Bray.

Since the Wyatt Family has seemingly disbanded, Erick Rowan is the only one on Bray’s side. But since Bray is across the void on Raw, it doesn’t seem to do him much good.

It would be interesting if Braun Strowman and Bray crossed paths on Raw. Wonder what might come of that or if they’ll just keep them separate?

Many are still hoping WWE will find something for Erick Rowan and Luke Harper to do. But in spite a their recent pushes, Cage Side Seats says there are no future plans for either former Wyatt Family member right now.

This is a true shame because Luke Harper has the capability of doing so much more by himself. He’s a big man that can fly, wrestle, and work just about any style he’s asked to. He’s compared to Bruiser Brody for a reason. Rowan is also a huge man with way more talent than they’re letting him display.

It seems WWE has fizzled on them before only to turn to their services when they needed them. So, hopefully they’ll be around to pick up the ball again in case someone gets injured or there’s a story that requires a big obstacle. But it doesn’t look like we’ll be getting Luke Harper or Erick Rowan pushed to the top of the card like many of us would have hoped.
