10 Booking Steps For WWE SmackDown

9. Let Rowan And Harper Do Rowan And Harper Things

Compare and contrast.

Erick Rowan sits down for an interview on last week's SmackDown and it is, without question, quite bad.

Erick Rowan and Luke Harper trash the main event of SmackDown, beat everyone up, put Daniel Bryan through a table and it is, without question, awesome.

Accentuating the positives isn't exactly WWE's strongest area of booking, but realising that these two are infinitely better letting their fists do the talking should have become painfully obvious last week. Whatever the motives are for Harper returning and Rowan turning his back on Bryan, they're nowhere near as entertaining TV than just watching them smash things up.

If we are to get them in a tag team match in the near future, put them in one this week. We've not seem them in-ring together since the Bludgeon Brothers, and that's a visual we need to move on from quickly.
