The debut of Braun Strowman this past Monday night on “Raw” strengthened The Wyatt Family faction even more, adding a giant to the mix to combat the duo of Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose.
According to the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE officials have had internal discussions over debuting an actual Sister Abigail character to work alongside Strowman, Bray Wyatt, and Luke Harper.
Bray Wyatt has mentioned Sister Abigail in several of his promos since debuting with the company, but it was implied that she’s nothing more than a spirit or presence which looked over him and his followers. “Sister Abigail” is also the name of his finishing maneuver.
There’s no word at this time as to who WWE would consider giving the character to if the trigger is pulled, although it’s believed that it would be a female recruit from NXT.
The status of Erick Rowan in the faction remains up in the air, as he’s currently on the shelf with a torn biceps injury.
Editor’s Note
And here come the comments over Paige being the perfect candidate to join The Wyatt Family. While that would be awesome to see, it’s easy to assume that the character wouldn’t step between the ropes much, so having one of the top in-ring performers in the division work with the gimmick may not be wise.
