The same could be said for big Erick Rowan.

Rowan...or...Redbeard has been chatting about why he'd knock back a full-time job with AEW recently. It's actually quite heartfelt and noble of the guy that he'd turn down a regular payoff in tribute to fallen friend Brodie Lee. However, would he be able to resist a WWE comeback?

Realigning with Bray Wyatt might be a nice way for Rowan to honour Brodie, and it would make sense to see him back beside Bray on WWE programming. That's especially true if Wyatt is returning to his pre-'Fiend' persona and turning the clock back to the old Wyatt Family days.

It'd be a bit of a shocker if somebody on the creative staff didn't stick a hand up during Triple H's meetings and pitch Erick's return. That's an easy story WWE can tell without much effort, and they'll always have room for big burly dudes like Rowan anyway.
