Don’t let the sheep mask fool you: “Gentle” is not in Erick Rowan’s vocabulary. Despite the dirty woolen façade this bearded brawler wears to the ring, Rowan bears far more similarities to a beast than Bambi. As a member of Bray Wyatt’s original Wyatt Family, Rowan initially supplied both muscle and intimidation throughout The New Face of Fear’s quest to conquer WWE, teaming with fellow Family member Luke Harper in the process.
After being “set free” by The Eater of Worlds, Rowan struck out on his own and even turned against his brothers, finding considerable success walking a lonelier path. Inevitably, though, the road led him back to his true calling, and he re-teamed with Harper to once again dish out unmitigated punishment to all those who crossed him, revitalizing himself (and rejoining the Family) in the process. There really is no place like home.
