Luke Harper and Erick Rowan both debuted on the main roster as Bray Wyatt's imposing backup in The Wyatt Family. In the five years since then, they've each dabbled in solo careers before coming back together as the menacing Bludgeon Brothers. It seems as though they're made for one another.

That's not true behind the scenes, or at least it wasn't when WWE pushed them into a team.

Back when they were first paired together, Harper and Rowan didn't see eye-to-eye on a whole lot. That's putting it mildly, because they actually didn't have anything in common personally and told one another they didn't want to work as a duo. It wasn't until both men realised that WWE weren't going to budge that they agreed to call a truce and make the best of a bad situation.

Fast-forward to 2018 and they're in the best shape of their careers, the reigning SmackDown Tag Champs and have a new gimmick WWE are high on.
