Shortly following their WWE debut in July 2013, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan hardly competed. Whenever they did, they always came out on top. Even when they did suffer their first loss in tag team action to Cody Rhodes and Goldust in October, they were still protected to the point that they didn't lose often. They have contended for the WWE Tag Team Championship on several occasions over the last year, but have yet to capture the gold. Their most recent series of matches of The Usos opened a lot of eyes and made people realize just how fun tag team wrestling can be. Once that feud ran its course, however, Harper and Rowan essentially became enhancement talent. Since coming up short to The Usos at July's Battleground pay-per-view, Haper and Rowan have yet to score a victory. They've lost to the Dust brothers as well as the duo of Mark Henry and Big Show countless times in the last month. That's in addition to all the losses they've stacked up in multi-man matches as well. These two were the most intimidating force not only in the tag team division but the entire WWE at one point earlier this year. How have they been reduced to "job guys" to the likes of Henry and Show, a tandem compromised of two singles guys? Harper and Rowan came so close to winning the twin titles not too long ago, so to see them treated in this fashion is absolutely mind-boggling.
