I know some fans may not agree with me on this one, but I thoroughly enjoyed this match. Harper and Rowan know each other like the back of their respective hands, for obvious reasons. Every time they have a match, I look forward to the brutality that they will unleash on each other.
The best part of this entire match was the fact that Erick Rowan won clean. Ever since Rowan signed with the WWE, he has been forced to play the third wheel to The Wyatt Family and even after the Family split, he has still been overshadowed by Harper.

What people fail to understand is that Rowan was a very accomplished wrestler prior to coming to WWE. He is very capable of handling his own.
With this is in mind, the current tag team picture with SmackDown Live is very weak. They could definitely benefit from having a solid team like Harper and Rowan on the scene. I would love to see the two monsters reunite for the cause.

Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
