Can someone wake us all up when something remotely interesting happens with the “What is Erick Rowan carrying around?” storyline?

The ongoing saga of Rowan and his pet covered by a burlap sack has persisted for two months now, and we’ve seen a parade of jobbers get squashed for trying to look under the hood. We’ve had to endure vignettes shot from the perspective of the pet, looking through the cage at a fawning Rowan.

And none of it has been interesting in the least. If someone is entertained by this, please enlighten us to what we’re missing here. Maybe there will be a decent payoff, but odds are it’ll be a stuffed animal or something silly like that.
