#8 Bludgeon Brothers

Ent — Two of WWE's most underrated workers.

Now we are onto the number 8 tag team on this list, The Bludgeon Brothers. Luke Harper and Erick Rowan have recently enjoyed a nice push as WWE Smackdown Tag Team Champions. That was until The New Day defeated Harper and Rowan on Smackdown Live to become the new champs, just a couple of nights following Summerslam. However, it is worth mentioning that The Bludgeon Bros did enjoy a title run of nearly 140 days, which is very respectable in today's era.

Harper and Rowan were huge stars on the independent scene, long before WWE ever came calling. But it was their unique stint as Bray Wyatt's henchmen in The Wyatt Family, which really put these guys on the map. The Wyatt Family is by far, one of the most successful factions in recent memory and these two monsters had a huge role in that success.

After a fairly stale singles run, which was also plagued by injuries, Harper and Rowan were reunited and rebooted as The Bludgeon Brothers in late-2017. While the concept fits these guys perfectly, they really need to be booked strongly in order to have long-term success. However, this writer would not at all be surprised to see a Wyatt Family reunion later on down the road and that is something that would get fans on their feet.

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.
