It must really suck for him being replaced by someone like that, that was pretty much the only role he was gonna be used in. I can't see them doing anything with him outside of The Wyatt Family, so Strowman coming in i'm assuming is the nail in the coffin for Rowan. He's bigger, has a better look, and probably better in the ring.

I'm not sad about it, i mean Rowan did suck, wouldn't be surprised if he's released in the next batch of releases. And i doubt Rowan will join them making it a 4 man group, if they was gonna do that they wouldn't have gave Strowman the sheep mask.

I wish he would just rejoin the Family and have the four of them run roughshod over WWE, until Super Cena lead the resistance and overcomes the odds.

I have a feeling that Rowan wil return in an adversarial role against The Wyatts. They have telegraphed the whole White Sheep/Black Sheep thing, so look for him to be the counter balance against Strowman. Still, I'd rather see the four of them as a Monster Heel group just wrecking WWE.

This.

I see him joining the Wyatt family right away when he's ready. They can go for the tag titles, black sheep goes for a mid card and wyatt WWE.

If they intend on debuting Bray's sister as Abigal then boom we have an awesome stable. Also another member that can carry a divas title too.

Already shared my views in a previous thread so I will just use a few points here.

Erick Rowan is a solid big man, brawler and powerhouse worker.
Rowan plays his character perfectly.
Rowan also was never given a real opportunity on his own, there was no need for a face turn although he was getting over, WWE ruined his momentum by having him job to Big Show.
He's also a major part of those Epic matches from 2014 Wyatts vs Shield and Harper and Rowan vs The Usos.
It's a shame Rowan is so overlooked, he is easily the most Underrated worker on the roster. He's got a great look, a character, a wrestling style that fits his character.
He can easily have success, he just needs some company support. Erick Rowan is someone who could have I.C or US Championship reigns and when he returns, him and Harper win the Tag Team Championships, it would be a satisfying moment to finally see them get that long awaited Title run.

Erick Rowan can now ask Vince McMahon or HHH for his release, and hopefully the WWE Universe (so-called fanbase) will NOT have to see him again. There's nothing to the guy, and he's not worth it.

You could say that about The Wyatt Family who nobody really cares about. I don't care for Erick Rowan or any other member of the Wyatt Family. They have NO company value, so nothing to see here, move along.

Rowan joining Reigns will be the most underwhelming "plot twist" they can possibly come up with. He's always been the Wyatt's third wheel and he was destined to fail during his singles run. No one even cared about him when he got fired, they just wanted Ziggler and Ryback. Use this opportunity to debut or bring back someone strong enough to go toe to toe with Stowman.

Id have thought Rowan would just rejoin the Wyatt Family. He'll get mothballs if they try and put with him with Ambrose & Reigns.

The Wyatt Family is supposed to be a cult, it needs 4 members.

I think he'll come back to join the Wyatts. The leftover Shield guys will bring in backup or figure out a way to isolate/take down Strowman and Rowan will return - upping the ante and making the babyfaces underdogs AGAIN.

Rowan was a poor face, his gimmick was Eugene 2.0, and he was on the fast track to Zack Ryder territory. He's staying heel if ANYONE in the WWE knows what they are doing.

PLUS - the family breaks down pretty evenly in terms of roles going forward.

Wyatt - Upper midcard-to-Uppercard performer. The guy to go for a singles belt someday.

Rowan/Harper - Going for the tag team championships. Great chemistry. A built-in feud with the returning Usos (their lengthy rivalry). A built-in feud with the Dudleys over "The Way" and the "3D." Tag division could use more strong teams in its rebirth.

Strowman - enforcer. He's too green to be in any kind of title hunt or to spend a lot of time in the ring.

If I were Rowan, I would be worried when my contract comes up for renewal.

When he gets healthy, he best make an impact. But I'm hardly sure he will even be given a real opportunity there.

I for one would love to see D-Von lift rowan up for a 3-D and then Luke Harper to super kick him into hell.

Long live the original Wyatt Family. In my opinion the 2nd greatest heel stable of all time.

I have to disagree with a previous comment, they didn't give him THE Sheep Mask, they gave him the Black Sheep Mask, there's nothing stopping them bringing Rowan back to exactly where he was before as The White Sheep, they can be a proper tag team, maybe they'll pretend they're twins. Hell they claim Bubba & Devon are brothers so why not?

Hopefully when he's good to return they don't just neglect him due to the introduction of Braun. Or worse yet, push him as a babyface again. They may just want to keep the Wyatt as a 3-way group but I'd be seriously concerned for his future if he weren't included in the group upon his return.

Rowan's bicep injury without surgery is 4 months recovery (which ends in mid-Oct) and if he has to undergo surgery his downtime becomes more nearer to 6-7months from last mid-June; this is probably why Brauman was brought in so he can fill the gap until Oct-Dec return of Rowan.

He needs to join the Wyatt family, cause without them, he got nothing on his own.
