Erick Rowan, Luke Harper, and Bray Wyatt- The original Wyatt Family
The Wyatt Family could be regarded as one of the biggest missed opportunities in WWE history, but let's make no mistake, during their time together as a faction, they presented the WWE Universe with some unforgettable feuds.

In 2012, the WWE Universe first saw the character of Bray Wyatt, who initially formed The Wyatt Family in NXT, later that year, and guided Erick Rowan and Luke Harper to an NXT Tag Team Title win, within the first year of the faction's inception.
However, it was on the main roster where The Wyatt Family made the most noise. In 2013, Bray Wyatt led his cryptic group to Monday Night RAW, and courtesy of his amazing promo skills as well as his in-ring talent, he became an instant fan-favorite. Rowan and Harper, meanwhile, continued their domination on the tag team division and had a number of outstanding matches with The Usos. But, it was The Wyatt Family's feud against The Shield which garnered them mainstream attention in WWE.
The two factions were considerably still fresh on the main roster but beginning from their initial face-off, to their six-man tag matches, The Wyatt Family and The Hounds of Justice caused mayhem every time they shared the ring. The Wyatts eventually added the likes of Braun Strowman, Randy Orton, and also had Daniel Bryan in their ranks for a while but the original version of the group certainly stood out the most.
