10 Ways To Repackage WWE's Struggling Wrestlers

8. Luke Harper & Erick Rowan: The Reunion

Things have been rough for The Wyatt Family's two lost sheep lately. Luke Harper looked set to become a major babyface force following the Bray Wyatt/Randy Orton feud, but vanished shortly after. Erick Rowan, meanwhile, has done next to nothing since returning from injury, and while the duo wrestled each other at Backlash, they've barely been involved since.

Many fans would still love to see Harper pushed as a singles act, but WWE have made it quite clear that they aren't going to do this. They blew the perfect opportunity to do so earlier in the year, and if they're not going to put Luke back on television as a singles act, they might as well reunite him and Rowan.

Finally free of Bray's hold, the duo could shake his influence off once and for all, and adopt a more straightforward set of personalities. SD's tag division could use a set of no-nonsense power-brawlers (no, The Ascension don't count) to contrast with more exuberant teams like The New Day, and Breezango's ongoing whodunit saga could provide the perfect reintroduction.

Unveil Harper & Rowan as the perpetrators, rebuild them as a couple of stoic badasses who let their fists do the talking, and the duo can play a big role again.
