#4 A long reign for the Bludgeon Brothers
It is rare that WWE pushes a tag team quite as hard as they did the Bludgeon Brothers. All signs suggest that WWE management saw big things in them, between steady hand Luke Harper who is universally praised by colleagues and pundits, and Rowan who has come a long way since he debuted on the main roster. They went on a tear, mowing through most of the well-established teams on SmackDown, in addition to getting the best of Team Hell No this summer.
While the New Day was booked to be competitive with Harper and Rowan, it’s still not clear WWE actually intended for them to get the belts off of them. Rather, the Bludgeons may well have held onto the straps through the fall until a new tag team was developed to go up against them, or an existing team got a new, big push of its own.
