Leave the memories alone, Larry. Until next time Big Red. Erick Rowan deserves all the success that he achieves and for some reason no one is willing to give him the credit or believe in him. Well I think he's made you all believers now. He never needed me but somehow for the last 8 years we've always found our way into each other's corners. I know he's gonna tear it up on Monday Night Rowan. Let him talk, let him kill and let him be happy. I cherish you as a friend big man despite the rough start, ha ha. I'll see you down the road .

The history between the duo

Luke Harper and Erick Rowan debuted as part of Bray Wyatt's Wyatt Family in late 2012 on WWE NXT. They quickly took the tag-team division by storm and captured the NXT Tag Team Championship.

After their main roster call-up along with Bray Wyatt, they went through various ups and downs with the team getting split up in 2014 and Harper winning the Intercontinental Championship once. After both of them got sidelined with injuries, they came back together in 2017 under the new name of The Bludgeon Brothers. They captured the SmackDown Tag Team Championship once under this moniker but were soon disbanded after both of them underwent surgeries for their injuries.

Rowan made his return to WWE at the 2019 Royal Rumble and aided then WWE Champion Daniel Bryan in retaining his title against AJ Styles. Harper recently made his return to WWE programming on WWE Clash of Champions and helped Rowan in defeating Roman Reigns.

Harper and Rowan then reunited to take on the team of Daniel Bryan and Roman Reigns in a tag-team match at Hell in a Cell in a losing effort. Now, it seems like both big men will have to go on their separate paths since they are on separate brands.
