What if Braun Strowman brings back the Wyatt Family?

#2 Luke Harper is back to square one

For better or worse, a Wyatt reboot may mean a total reboot for Luke Harper.

Luke Harper has never managed to break out as much of a singles star in WWE. Despite a brief period when he reigned as Intercontinental Champion, he has otherwise spent the overwhelming majority of his time teaming with Erick Rowan. When they were Bray Wyatt’s henchmen, it arguably put a ceiling over Harper’s potential, and the team may well have underutilized the athletic big man. In Harper’s most recent team with Rowan, however, the two were booked as dominant monsters under their own power under the Bludgeon Brothers name.

Going back to the Wyatts feels like a step backward for Harper. However, it may also represent a chance to start over in the purest sense. With Braun Strowman as the biggest star of the three, and Bray Wyatt recovering his own image, Harper would have the potential to be less of a supporting cast member than one of three major forces teamed up in the group.
