10 Most Devastating WWE Superstar Injuries Of 2015
10. Eric Rowan
Eric Rowan might be the unluckiest person on the WWE roster. He was inexplicably split from the Wyatt Family around this time last year, was given a nonsensical singes push centered on being a highly-intelligent vintner that went nowhere, was re-united with his brother Luke Harper, and got injured just as he and Harper were starting to gain serious momentum as a newly-reformed tag team. A major tag team push wouldve been perfect for Harper and Rowan, as both of them had floundered as singles wrestlers that werent affiliated with the ultra-charismatic Bray Wyatt. Instead, Rowan was basically replaced with the even-larger and more menacing Braun Strowman as the muscle of the Wyatt Family, and it was with Strauman that Wyatts group was re-established as a juggernaut in WWE. When Rowan did return after six months out, he did so without hype or any positive momentum. He appeared out of nowhere and ran to the ring to attack Roman Reigns, only to be foiled by the Samoan. He has since become something of a background character in the Wyatt Family, as everyone else has a clearly-defined role: the leader (Bray), the muscle (Strauman), and the technician/most well-rounded wrestler (Harper). Hopefully, Rowan will find his place within the new Wyatt Family soon, because he has lost too much momentum already.
