Rowan and Harper had their gimmick with Bray down perfectly, and what do they do? Split them.
It's a terrible thing to get over as a team in WWE today, PTP, Rhodes Bros (After their inevitable break up, this will have done nothing for either of them), Wyatts, Rybaxel, and Real Americans, all broken up and booked into oblivion when they could be used to get over a nice tag division. Harper and Rowan won't have singles pushes, they'll get a few wins and be used as fodder to new stars on the roster because they are big.

Harper's not going to be as easy as some people think. He's going to need tweeking, and I'm not confident in WWE to do it correctly. But if they continue to give him the mic, something he's pretty underrated at IMO, and give him a a reason for existing, he could do well. He'll need a believable feud (maybe Ryback?) and something for the fans to grab hold to, like a catchphrase or even his gator roll move. I'd like to see him come out with a weapon, and also have a strong theme that doesn't emphasize his hillbilly henchman gimmick. If they job him out like they've done before, his shelf life will be short.
Rowan has at least the same chances as Harper to stick around. Just on mask alone, he's got a chance. His gimmick doesn't need mic skills or much of a reason to exist. If they book him as a somewhat believable monster, he could be entertaining to watch. He's not as crappy as some say. He's nothing to write home about, but he's got a strong (and creepy) character that doesn't need much help.

I think its idiotic splitting The Wyatt's to be honest.....its yet another sh*t move from a creative department that really really needs to be cleared out and restructured. This. There was no need to break them up. Have Harper and Rowan do their own thing like going after the tag title but keep em aligned with bray. Harper has the skills to be a singles guy but Rowan will flounder in the lower card. He should have absolutely stuck with bray. I am seriously straining to understand this move.....they weren't stale and didn't need freshening up. They had a really good stable here(with potential for another member or two)that was over as f*ck and they have totally sh*t on it. The Cena annihilation was another booking atrocity and they obviously lost all interest in them as a unit afterwards. Unless(unlikely IMO)they are intentionally keeping the 2 away from Bray so they can return to his side during the Ambrose feud at some point.

I'd like to see Harper and Rowan tag champions, then Harper wins the IC or the US title. But for Rowan, I really don't know..

Unless(unlikely IMO)they are intentionally keeping the 2 away from Bray so they can return to his side during the Ambrose feud at some point. I also doubt the WWE would think far enough ahead to have Harper and Rowan intentionally stay away from Bray for a while. If this year (and lets face it the last 10 years) have shown us anything its that the WWE creative team has a very short attention span and basically book things week to week (which is funny because the WWE continues to bash WCW for this on their weekly Network specials). With the creative teams writing history as hell I'm worried Harper will end up floundering as well. They will need to do ALOT to remove the "Bray's lackey" gimmick he has and I doubt the WWE will be able to do that successfully. Rowan hasn't shown any potential as a singles guy and was perfect as Bray's muscle. I've stuck by my belief that its fine if they do their own thing once in a while like go after the tag titles but to stay aligned with Bray in his feuds. Completely breaking them up makes little sense character wise for all of them. I agree there was potential for more members. Bray's character is a cult leader. It makes no sense character wise for him to just let them go off on their own. I think it would have been a great story if while the Authority was busy dealing with Cena, Ambrose, and Reigns, Bray was quietly converting more people to his "family." Then when the Authority thinks they have things back in control the much larger "Wyatt Family" stages a takeover and outnumber the Authority. Just one in a ton of possibilities they could have ran with the group but never will.

I don't know if this has been posted but I'm sure it has but I honestly think the "Mysterious Superstar" is Luke Harper. Sorry if this has already been confirmed.
