Rumor Mill: Big Push Coming for Erick Rowan?

Erick Rowan could be considered a wild card in WWE. His character is the “White Sheep” of the Wyatt Family. When Rowan returned from an injury in October, he slipped right back into the group, and that’s given Bray Wyatt three monsters to guard him.

What’s curious about Erick Rowan is after he and Luke Harper were “set free” last year, Rowan didn’t really go anywhere as a singles competitor. WWE attempted to make his character a silent, yet innocent personality that was a force in the ring with a high I.Q. That didn’t get over with the audience, and he got hurt soon after.

Currently, he’s in the Wyatt Family with Luke Harper and Braun Strowman. While Rowan was floating around WWE, Harper went on to become an Intercontinental Champion. Strowman is being built as an unstoppable monster, and he’s the “Black Sheep” of the group.

It’s not brought up often, but the perception of Rowan is he is the weakest member of the Wyatt Family right now. However, Erick Rowan posted an odd video on his Twitter has ignited a lot of speculation that Erick Rowan is receiving a push to give his character more focus in the Wyatt Family and on WWE television.

WWE.com has also posted the following statement about Erick Rowan’s career and the strange promo that could be the sign of things to come.

Behold, the new New Face of Vengeance.

In a rare post to his Twitter account, Erick Rowan transmitted an ominous clip of himself undergoing a bone-chilling transformation. In the video, the former NXT Tag Team Champion takes a bare fist to his signature sheep mask, laid before him on a table. The white wool façade shatters beneath his power, only to reveal a new, mangled-looking mask among its ruins, which Rowan then dons in place of the original.

Are we looking at the reincarnation of the bearded beast? Has Rowan discovered his true self after rounding out the expanded Wyatt Family? Perhaps the Family’s latest war, against the ECW Originals at WWE TLC this Sunday, will provide answers.
