WWE Brighton Live - 10 Interesting Observations

6. Luke Harper Is The Workhorse Of The Wyatt Family

Next up was a six man tag as The Wyatt Family of Luke Harper, Erick Rowan and Braun Strowman faced the Usos and Ryback. By this stage though, the crowd needed an interval as they were feeling a bit burnt out and so this match was conducted mostly in near silence. It was clear that Strowman is being protected, with rumours circulating that he is to be The Undertaker€™s WrestleMania opponent next year. Strowman was also on a learning brief as he spent most of the match watching from the apron. But in the flesh, the man is HUGE and is almost as wide as he is tall. However, he seems to be making a better fist of things than Bill Kazmaier, who made the transition from World€™s Strongest Man competitions to wrestling for WCW in the early 1990s. Rowan seemed to be off his stride for parts of the match and the Usos were their usual colourful, action packed selves, but the man who stood out as the workhorse of the match was the always excellent Luke Harper. Everything he did looked smooth and everything was done for a reason. It was no surprise that, after the match (which the Wyatts won when Strowman caught Jey Uso off the top rope and locked in his head and arm choke submission), that it was Harper who was left in the ring on his own to take a beating from the babyfaces and send the crowd off to the interval happy.
