10 WWE Stars Who Have Suffered The Most Since WrestleMania 32

It may have lasted a grand total of 6 seconds, but Erick Rowan can still boast that he's had a singles match against The Rock at WrestleMania. Sadly, Rowan is also the only Wyatt Family member (past or present) who didn't go on to greater things in 2016.

Bray Wyatt has become WWE Champion since 'Mania 32, and the likes of Braun Strowman and even Luke Harper have bettered their positioning on the company totem pole. By contrast, the unfortunate Rowan is so far out in the cold that his ginger beard probably has frost on it by now.

That sorry situation doesn't look like improving in time for WrestleMania 33.

Rowan did tweet out a video several months ago, in which he buried his trademark sheep mask, but it remains to be seen if there's scope for him to feud with his former Wyatt Family chums on SmackDown going forward. Bray Wyatt's push to the top of the card makes a rivalry difficult to envision, and that's also due to Rowan's own lower card status.

Numerous injuries have derailed Erick's career, meaning 'Mania 32's brief effort against The Rock looks like a highlight right now.
