Towering red beard Erick Rowan saw Drew McIntyre squash his big caged spider (?!) before departing WWE in 2020. That was one of the worst latter day Vince McMahon ideas. It was laughably crap. Post-WWE, Rowan worked some cameo spots in AEW to honour fallen friend Brodie Lee (Luke Harper), but has found his way back to Raw and SmackDown under Triple H.

Currently, Erick plays a role within the Bray Wyatt tribute act headed by Uncle Howdy called The Wyatt Sicks. At time of writing, they've just been drafted from Raw to SmackDown and have yet to make a splash on the brand. Once they do, Rowan will be muscle more than anything.

It's hard to see him winning anymore titles, but who knows? At least he's on the active WWE roster.
