What If WWE brings back the old personas of Superstars?

#2. Luke Gallows as Festus

Festus may not have had main event potential, but he might at least be more interesting than Luke Gallows.

It is easy enough to forget that Luke Gallows is still a part of the WWE roster. Despite their clear talent and past success in Japan, his tag team with Karl Anderson has struggled for most of its run with WWE and is now used sparingly on television.

This isn’t Gallows’s first WWE tenure, nor the first stretch when he has felt underutilized. He had a run earlier that saw him play CM Punk’s muscle in the Straight Edge Society, and before that, he portrayed a mentally challenged country boy named Festus.

While the personas that Gallows worked under in the past didn’t necessarily have huge success written all over them, Festus was at least offbeat and memorable. Revisiting the gimmick could offer a fun bit of nostalgia for die-hard fans, besides which there is arguably still some untapped potential in him as a poor man’s Eugene or, to see what would happen if he were to fall under heel influences.
