10 Best WWE Moments From Wrestlers Who Just Got Released
2. Meet The Bludgeon Brothers
WWE hyped the debut of The Bludgeon Brothers for weeks, and unlike a lot of other Superstars who then return with a new gimmick, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan actually made this work. It was a little goofy, sure, but they boasted a unique look and certainly came across as a formidable threat.
They spent weeks taking out enhancement talent before feuding with The New and The Usos. That would lead to their first Tag Team Championship win as a team in WWE (they never held the titles as part of The Wyatt Family, believe it or not) after a killer Triple Threat match at WrestleMania 34.
Unfortunately, Rowan ended up being injured shortly after that big win, and their momentum was quickly lost. Had that not happened, both men might still be dominating the WWE tag team division today, but Harper - now known as Brodie Lee in AEW - has landed on his feet, and Rowan should too.
Still, the latter time as part of The Bludgeon Brothers was definitely memorable, infinitely better than him carrying around the cage, and something that proved there was more to him than we realised.
