10 Future WWE Champions That Would Be A Sign Of The Apocalypse
2. Erick Rowan
With his shaved head, tremendous red beard, and monstrous size, Erick Rowan boasts an intimidation factor that few men in WWE can match. He made a great enforcer for the Wyatt Family, silently backing up leader Bray while wearing a creepily tattered sheep mask.
When the Wyatt Family split up in 2014, though, fans' suspicions were confirmed -- Rowan was the least talented of the three. While he wasn't unskilled, the all-around greatness of Bray Wyatt and the unorthodox brawling prowess of Luke Harper ensured that Rowan would always be seen as in their shadows.
To be fair, WWE tried to push Rowan, turning him babyface and placing him opposite Harper in the ten-man tag match that headlined Survivor Series. Interest began to wane, though, and while Harper captured the Intercontinental Title, Rowan found himself on the losing end of a program with The Big Show.
Rowan's stock continued to fall in 2015, with fewer appearances on Pay-Per-Views and Raw. Eventually, Harper started to flounder as well, and WWE reassembled their tandem in the tag team ranks. It wasn't long before an injury forced Rowan out of action.
Hopefully, Rowan's spot with Harper is waiting for him when he finishes convalescing. Having already given him a chance, though, it's unlikely WWE will attempt to earmark him for singles glory.
