Erick Rowan was released from WWE back in April alongside a number of other stars, but many fans believed that he would return as part of the Wyatt Swamp Fight. Interestingly, Rowan did actually play his part.
When Braun Strowman was first tied up inside Wyatt's shack, before the former Universal Champion came back with a snake, many fans may have spotted Rowan's mask in the background.
The fact that Strowman was being tortured in that shed at this point leads to the belief that something bad had already happened to Rowan. Perhaps when Rowan became a Bludgeon Brother and left The Wyatt Family, he surrendered his mask to Wyatt before moving on to his upgraded version, or in this storyline, Wyatt is the reason that Erick Rowan is no longer a part of WWE.
Whilst there was nothing noted, seeing the mask in such an eerie setting definitely made it seem as though Rowan was the victim of one of these matches in the past and the mask was still there as a reminder.
