Erick Rowan and Luke Harper have relied on other Superstars to get a push throughout their WWE careers. They found initial fame and success with the Bray Wyatt led Wyatt Family. The team then subsequently paired up with other WWE Superstars throughout their respective careers. Last year, the two men joined forces to battle as the Bludgeon Brothers and won the SmackDown Tag Team Championships in the process.

However, once Rowan was revealed to be the mastermind behind the attacks on Roman Reigns, fans were a bit confused as to where the story could be heading. A man who lost to The Rock in record time at WrestleMania could not be taken seriously in a one-on-one feud with WWE’s most recognizable Superstar.

WWE made a bold booking decision at Clash of Champions by allowing Rowan to pick up the win over The Big Dog. Not only that, but they returned Harper to television, as he helped Rowan pick up the upset victory over Reigns. This will allow both men to receive a huge push and make headlines. This is big for both men as they have usually been under-card players and henchmen.
