5 Surprises To Expect On The SmackDown Live After SummerSlam

#4 Harper turns on Rowan

Could this be the end of the Bludgeon Brothers for good? — Could this be the very end of the Bludgeon Brothers for good?

There is a rumour doing the rounds that Erick Rowan was injured following his appearance at SummerSlam last night. This could lead to the dissolution of the Bludgeon Brothers on SmackDown Live. One way to achieve this could be to have Harper turn on Rowan and effectively go solo. It would certainly be a very interesting path to take for him.

Luke Harper has a lot of potential as a singles superstar, showing a dazzling display of moves that he cannot pull off as a member of this tag team unit. There is a lot of equity in having him change his gimmick completely and going solo soon. This is because the Bludgeon Brothers gimmick hasn't exactly set the world on fire, really.

Maybe Rowan could return as a babyface, if Harper decides to go heel. Maybe he will be repackaged in a new gimmick.
