The group's former members might be split between Raw and SmackDown at the moment, but there's a chance we haven't seen the last of The Wyatt Family. Braun Strowman is prospering, but Luke Harper and Erick Rowan tend to lose all purpose when they're not with Bray, whose own character has never been as uninteresting as it is today.

WWE had seemingly considered bolstering the Family's ranks on a number of occasions, and while Bo Dallas (Bray's real-life brother) has often been suggested by fans, Baron Corbin apparently came within a whisker of joining years before his eventual main roster debut. 'The Lone Wolf' tried out for a role in the group, but was ultimately rejected, and was repackaged with his current character in 2014.

Long forgotten developmental prospect Judas Devlin also auditioned for a spot in the group, as revealed in an interview conducted earlier this year. According to Devlin himself, he went as far as cutting a couple of tryout promos with Bray, and while Judas was confident of getting the spot, he suffered a severe spinal injury in 2013 and was released from the company the following year.
