What’s the story?
According to the rumour roundup section of Cagesideseats.com, both Erick Rowan and Luke Harper, members of the erstwhile Wyatt Family, may play a role in the Randy Orton vs. Bray Wyatt match at WrestleMania for the top prize on SmackDown- the WWE Championship.
In case you didn’t know...
Randy Orton joined the ranks of the Wyatts not too long ago, and this led to problems between him and Wyatt family member Luke Harper, eventually causing the apparent dissolution of the heel stable.
Soon after, Randy Orton would win the Royal Rumble, whereas Bray Wyatt would win the WWE Championship at the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view, setting up the traditional main event for WrestleMania.
Refusing to fight Wyatt at first, Orton would gain his trust only to burn down his house and make his intentions clear for all to see. Erick Rowan has been out of the storyline for a while now, because of an injury to his shoulder.
The heart of the matter
Rumour has it that these two behemoths may play a part in the WWE Championship main event at WrestleMania. Neither has a WrestleMania match, so the possibility of this is very likely at present.
Erick Rowan was apparently spotted at the WWE Performance Center not too long ago, spurring rumours of a comeback to WWE. Luke Harper was part of the SmackDown Live main event this week, but is not a part of the WrestleMania card at all this year, fuelling speculation about his supposed involvement in the title match.
What's next?
Number 1 contender Randy Orton battles WWE Champion Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania 33 in just two days. All eyes will be glued to our TV screens to see what role these two monstrous athletes play in the outcome of the match.
Author's take
There’s definitely more to this match than meets the eye. We suspect that Erick Rowan and Luke Harper and possibly even Sister Abigail will show up to prove that Wyatt Blood is thicker than well, regular blood.
