Erick Rowan's Cage: 3 bold predictions for what's inside

Erick Rowan has been heading to the ring with a cage that is completely covered over the past few weeks, which has led to many fans questioning what could be hidden inside. Last night was quite a turn of events since Rowan actually allowed Mojo Rawley to look inside even though he's spent weeks keeping prying eyes away from his cage.

Rawley's reaction made it clear that there was something gruesome inside the cage before Rowan then defeated his challenger this week and showed him the contents of the cage. The star ran away covered in blood since it wasn't made clear if the cage was covered in blood or if the thing inside the cage spat blood out.

There have been many questions surrounding Rowan as of late, but there are a few suggestions that fans have come up with in recent weeks that could solve the mystery of what is inside that cage.

#3 Erick Rowan's long lost twin

Whatever happened to Erick Rowan's twin?

A few months ago when Erick Rowan was accused of being the man behind the attacks on Roman Reigns, Daniel Bryan brought in the man who he believed was really behind the attacks, which was someone who could easily have passed as Erick Rowan's twin.

After Reigns left the room and it was made clear that this wasn't the man behind the attacks, he disappeared, wasn't mentioned on WWE TV again and seemingly could have become trapped by Rowan.

Bryan is no longer on the scene now to stop Rowan from heading down another crazy path, which means that he could easily have kidnapped the man who looked like his twin and kept a part of him inside the cage.

There are some creepy suggestions online, when someone has a psychotic break, they can think that they are seeing a person when it's actually only part of them, so perhaps part of his long lost twin is in the cage and Rowan actually believes that it's the man himself.

#2 An animal of some kind

Could Erick Rowan be hiding some kind of animal inside his mysterious cage?

Erick Rowan seems like he's the kind of man who would keep animals that he finds out in the wild as pets, much like worms and snails and creepy crawlies that regular people would class as insects.

At the same time, the addition of the blood last night on RAW suggests that it could have been something much bigger that is related to Rowan's past life. Since Rowan would come to the ring wearing a sheep mask at the beginning of his WWE career, it's easy to see Rowan keeping the heart of that sheep inside his cage instead.

Perhaps Rowan believes that he can draw power from the creature and so he keeps a part of the animal in the cage, which is why there is blood attached to it. Rowan could still be connected to his Wyatt Family roots even though The Fiend is over on SmackDown which means that there could be something supernatural about this whole affair so don't rule out the fact that the animal in there could be still alive and being controlled by Wyatt.

#1 Erick Rowan controls The Fiend

Much like when Undertaker was controlled by The Urn, it appears that someone has to be controlling The Fiend and given that whatever is in that cage is the scariest thing in WWE right now, it could be Erick Rowan.

The Fiend obviously controls Fun House Bray Wyatt, so who controls The Fiend? He was created because of Wyatt's downfalls, but what if it's Sister Abigail who truly controls him and Rowan has a part of Sister Abigail in that cage.

The Fiend is over on SmackDown right now and is seemingly in a feud with Daniel Bryan, the man who threw Rowan under the bus when he was revealed as Roman Reigns attacker.

Before The Fiend went after Bryan, he was in a feud with Seth Rollins, a feud that began mere weeks after Rollins and Rowan were part of a Last Man Standing match.

If Rowan only came into possession of the cage when he was moved over to Monday Night RAW, then it makes sense that he could be the man currently controlling The Fiend, so there's no wonder he's been pushed so hard on RAW.
