This past week on RAW, we saw Heath Slater return in a one-off appearance where he confronted Drew McIntyre and even had an impromptu match with him. The same could happen on WWE SmackDown as well, where the white sheep returns to clash with the black sheep of WWE and the current WWE Universal Champion.

Now that we are going back in time, all the way to where it began for Braun Strowman, one has to remember that he used to be the black sheep of the Wyatt Family. And the man who donned the white mask at that point in time was none other than Erick Rowan.

It is an easy payday for Erick Rowan and he can also put his friend over in a big way while getting some screen time to carry forward a story that he was very much a part of. I don't know if this will necessarily happen on WWE SmackDown this week but if it does, I wouldn't necessarily be opposed to the idea.
