#2 Erick Rowan

A former WWE writer just went after JBL for his comments HERE
The Wyatt Family was one of the most exciting stables to have come up in recent times. In Bray Wyatt’s unmitigated charisma, the Universe was swayed and bewitched. In Braun Strowman, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan’s portentous silence, it was terrified.
Within the Wyatt Family though, the weakest link has always been considered to be Rowan.
With a set of old school moves such as clawholds, Nelson slams and backbreakers, Rowan has been measured out as a brawler yet is the least utilized when with the Family.
He is the one to take the most losses by pinfalls, is slightly slow inside the ring and lacks the intensity altogether. His face run as a part of Team Cena was unimpressive and the promo with the Big Show following Survivor Series was tepid, to say the least.
Even during Wrestlemania 32, he was taken out by the Rock inside 6 seconds in a singles match.
The only moments when he seemed intimidating was when he ran with the Wyatt Family. This is not to dismiss his wrestling capabilities altogether.
Having trained under the legendary Eddie Sharkey, Rowan spent a considerable amount of time in Japan under Pro Wrestling Noah before venturing into FCW and subsequently NXT.
What remains to be seen is the course he shall be taking after his recent move to Smackdown Live. Having reunited with Bray again, he could climb up to be a fan favourite if only he exhibited more dexterity both inside the ring as well as out of it.
