We suggest five ways through which Harper and Rowan could steal the show!

Even the perfect combination of a great look and incredible in-ring skills does not necessarily make a WWE superstar. Just ask Emma!

One of the essential ingredients in getting an act 'over' is a good long-term booking from WWE Creative. For weeks we've been treated to vignettes of a diabolical duo known as the Bludgeon Brothers. So far so good, right?

All of the efforts will be in vain, if the vignettes do not translate into a compelling debut and a strong in-ring program, thereafter. This will be especially unfair for a superstar of the calibre of the amazing Luke Harper, who's been criminally underutilized thus far.

We have five suggestions for WWE. 5 ways to debut this throwback tag team into the main roster. Five ways they can capture the attention of the WWE Universe immediately. Five ways that are worthy of their incredible talent and skill.


#5 Members of the SmackDown Live Survivor Series team

Will they make their debut, representing Team Blue?
Will the brothers make their debut, representing Team Blue?

The war between RAW and SmackDown Live is heating up, as we head towards Survivor Series. Last week, we saw the superstars of SmackDown Live invade RAW, and leave the superstars in the back broken and battered.

One of the highlights of Survivor Series will be the RAW vs. SmackDown Live traditional Survivor Series elimination match, that has come to characterize this marquee event. Randy Orton has already been selected for the team, and the second and third places are set to be determined, in a few days.

Maybe the two remaining spots can be filled by the brutish Bludgeon Brothers. Even if they were to get eliminated at the big match, it would be an absolutely amazing way to relaunch the two men into the fold.

The Bludgeon Brothers would seem like a threat from the word go and would be taken seriously thereafter.

#4 Taking out The New Day

The Bludgeon Brothers are familiar faces for the WWE Universe, but this gimmick is almost akin to a rebirth for the two men. Having started off strong with the Wyatt Family, the men slowly fell down the ranks, until they were seen as mid-card talent.

It is necessary for The Bludgeon Brothers to be taken seriously, in this current run. There's no better way to do that, than to take out The New Day, as they come dancing and prancing to the ring, without any prior motivation. In many ways, they are the antithesis of The New Day.

A program with The New Day, the company's most popular trio not named The Shield, is a really big ticket affair in every way possible. The New Day are incapable of having bad matches, so the in-ring action will be on point too.

#3 Muscle for Triple H

Could they be a formidable version of J&J security?
Could they be a formidable version of J&J security?

As WrestleMania 34 approaches ever closer, one senses that the return of Triple H is imminent, once again. The Showcase of the Immortals is also the showcase of the grandest props and pyro, as the King of Kings makes his annual comeback.

We wonder if Triple H will choose to return on the Blue Brand, this time, for a program against Shane McMahon or his guy, Kevin Owens. And if he does return, will he align himself with the despicable Bludgeon Brothers, as his partners in crime?

After all, he was part of a SmackDown Live Live Event in Chile, very recently.

Imagine what a formidable trio the three men would be. It would be a brilliant launchpad for the monstrous Bludgeon Brothers.

After all, it does seem like all the three men love their sledgehammers.

#2 During a Breezango vignette

Could the Bludgeon Brothers change the mood of the Fashion Files?
Could the Bludgeon Brothers change the mood of the Fashion Files?

The Fashion Files have been a nice distraction from the non-stop wrestling action on SmackDown Live, thus far. The lightheartedness of the show is a serious change of pace from the usual programming on the show.

An attack from the Bludgeon Brothers during one of these vignettes could change the very mood of the show, adding a degree of seriousness to the lightheartedness. It would be a nice variation in content for The Fashion Files, considering the show has begun to lose steam.

The Fashion Files are not as exciting as they once used to be. Maybe an old-fashioned bludgeoning can change all that.

After all, the 2B reference during the Fashion Files obviously refers to the Bludgeon Brothers.

Maybe this could, in turn, help Breezango as well.

#1 Opponents for Owens and Zayn

Could Shane McMahon use Harper and Rowan to destroy Zayn & Owens?
Could Shane McMahon use Harper and Rowan to destroy Zayn & Owens?

Even though Jinder Mahal may be the face of SmackDown Live right now, it almost seems like the show revolves around Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. The two men have been a thorn in the side of SmackDown Live Commissioner, Shane McMahon, for a really long time.

Could McMahon decide to take them out, once and for all, by enlisting the help of the Bludgeon Brothers, in a tag team contest? It will be a nice way to introduce the brutes on the brand, too.

If you've noticed, we've avoided a comedic approach in all of the options that we've listed. WWE does not book comedy characters well, in the long run, and comedic big men hardly do well.
