5 interesting facts you didn't know about WWE Superstar Rowan

#4 Rowan’s first-ever professional wrestling championship

It was long overdue

Rowan has won three Tag Team Championships to date. He joined forces with Daniel Bryan and won the SmackDown Tag Team Championship twice.

However, he won his first-ever Tag Title on NXT alongside Luke Harper. This was also the first time when Rowan got his hands on a professional wrestling championship. Six months after his WWE NXT debut, Rowan teamed up with Harper and defeated Adrian Neville and Bo Dallas to lift the first title of his career.

He won his first championship on the main roster as one half of Bludgeon Brothers who defeated USOS for the SmackDown Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania 34. As a member of the Wyatt family, Rowan could never win a title after moving to the main roster. It was only his recent run with Daniel Bryan that allowed him a chance to become a champion on SmackDown Live.

So far, Rowan has never won a Single’s title. Maybe that will change shortly…

#3 Football before wrestling

Another football player on the roster?

We know that there are several WWE Superstars who played football and considered a career in that sport at one point. Even a few former NFL picks decided to alter their career by signing with WWE.

While we know that the likes of Brock Lesnar and Bray Wyatt used to play football, Rowan’s name is a surprising addition to that list. Rowan’s incredible agility helped him play the sport well and bend the rules in his favor.

Although Rowan did not go for a professional football career, he used to play for the University of Minnesota Morris which is also his alma mater.
