Will The Wyatt Family survive beyond Battleground?

This has been an interesting feud, to say the least. The Compound segment really took things to another level. It was a huge success. Now it appears we have the climax to this rivalry and due to the brand-split, it looks like this thing is coming to an end, unfortunately.
Let's keep in mind how the draft played out. While Bray and Rowan remain on the same roster in Smackdown, Strowman was drafted to Raw, so yes, it looks like The Wyatt Family could indeed be splitting up and that's a shame.

Creatively, thus faction was the best idea in years. However, the folks who make all of the calls never seemed to truly believe in the boys. Unless Harper comes back and that seems to be highly unlikely, this dream is over and there was still money on the table.
One day, we will look back and realize at how terribly this stable was booked.
Bray Wyatt himself has a terrible PPV record, which is also a factor for me. Combine that with the fact that Braun, Rowan and Bray appear to be going in different directions, there's nothing to gain for them, if they win.

I hope I look back at this prediction and say I was dead wrong. I hope something amazing happens for The Wyatt Family at Battleground. I just hope...but I wouldn't bet my compound on it.

Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
