Do you think that the Wyatt family should have dissolved and became separate wrestlers? I personally don't think they should have. I really don't think the timing was right, the Wyatt Family hadn't really made their mark yet on the WWE and I think they should have stayed together much longer than they did. Since the breakup, Wyatt hasn't done that much, Harper won the IC and Rowan has became a face. Sure, you could say that not much time has passed yet and more will happen but I don't really think it will.

What do you think?

It's hard to say right now because who knows what'll happen in the future, but I'm leaning towards it being a bad idea. First of all, Rowan is fucked (not his fault), gets no reactions at all and needs some time off. Harper is a great talent but he's in limbo and Wyatt is being force fed to us, which kills his mystique and exposes his promos as pretty one-dimensional. I don't believe staying together would have necessarily been a great idea either, but it's hard to argue that it was any worse than what's happening now.

Erick Rowan is the only one it hasn't benefited. Bray was always the star so he's been able to adapt well. Luke is obviously the breakout star and has shown he's a great worker. His match at TLC was considered the MOTN. Rowan is basically screwed. WWE obviously doesn't care about him and they're already burying him. I thought one third of the Wyatt family turning babyface was a good idea but I guess not.


Basically the split was 2/3 successful.

I don't think any of them has benefited yet. If they didn't split, they'd probably be in pretty much the same position as they are now.

When all three of them were in the ring at once during the Rumble I thought we were gonna see them come back together, especially after Rowan attacked Axel which was sort of heelish. It would have made sense for them three to come together and just destroy everyone until the later stages of the match.

I was thinking the same thing as I would be all for a Wyatt reunion since they all seem to have stalled except for Bray. I figured Bray would have gotten new members to his little flock and taken on Rowan and Harper but they didn't do that.

The problem with doing a Wyatt reunion is that they literally just split a few months back. I actually enjoyed the dynamic in the Rumble match and was upset that it ended so quickly, although it did help put Bray over a little so there's always that.

Tbh Harper and Rowan not getting a title run was a fucking tragedy

But Harper has before Bray anyway so that wouldn't make any sense.
Except Harper won the title in November, after he'd left the family. When the Uso's and Harper/Rowan were feuding for the belts, they were still in the family. I'm pretty sure that's what he meant.

I don't really think they needed the tag titles mind you, unless Bray was also going to win a belt so they had a bunch of the gold. Titles really don't mean anything these days (as evidenced by Cena not even giving a shit about Rusev's US Championship) so I have trouble caring about them at all.
