#1 Harper and Rowan
The inspiration for this article came from some recent comments made by Harper, who revealed that he and Rowan – his on-and-off tag partner of the last six years – didn’t get along when they first started teaming together.
Speaking on the E&C Pod of Awesomeness, the former Intercontinental champion said the duo, now known as The Bludgeon Brothers, “hated each other” when they were put together in 2012, but they came to the realisation that they needed to get along to make their on-screen act work for the better.
Shortly after their tag team debuted on NXT alongside Bray Wyatt as part of the Wyatt Family, Harper and Rowan made it to the main roster and featured in a prominent storyline with John Cena in the build-up to WrestleMania 30.
If the duo failed to put their off-screen issues aside, they would probably have never been involved in the memorable storyline with Cena, and there would certainly be no Bludgeon Brothers on SmackDown Live right now.
