Erick Rowan looked like he was being replaced as part of The Wyatt Family earlier this year. When Braun Strowman debuted, the injured Rowan appeared to be out of the picture, but he has since slotted right back into his old position. There's just one problem, he's now the cannon fodder for the group, something which was wholly evident when analysing TLC. Rowan was the only member of The Wyatt Family booked to be eliminated. Granted, it made sense that somebody had to take the fall in order to give he ECW Originals something to cheer about, but it says a lot for how Erick is perceived by officials that he was the one which was the most logical choice. By contrast, Luke Harper is a better worker, Braun Strowman is a pet project, and Bray Wyatt is the leader. This should perhaps be worrying for Rowan, because expendable is not a spot he wants to be in. At TLC, he lasted a scant 4 minutes before being blasted with a 3D through the wood. He didn't even come back out to celebrate with his victorious stablemates, which would have helped redeem him a little.
