Now for me personally, I kinda feel as though this group has somewhat fallen away since they feuded with Cena (coincidence?) and for quite a while they've been pretty unimportant. I still think that him losing to Cena at WrestleMania was the wrong choice but it wasn't exactly a shocker to most. You then thought that he might have a strong showing in the MITB Ladder match but if memory serves me correctly, he very much had a back seat throughout the whole match. They then gave him Jericho to somewhat repair the damage done to him, but since that ended there doesn't seem to be anything obvious for him to go to next.

Touching on Harper & Rowan quickly, how these two never took the titles of The Uso's when they were having great matches but instead ended up on the utterly terrible team of The Dust's is beyond me.

What would you do with them?

You gotta build them back up again and I think that means upping the creep factor. I'd have Harper and Rowan straight up steal the tag titles (yeah it's been done but how long ago) and perhaps a good ole fashioned brain washing? Perhaps of a diva without much to do? (whos the girl that dances all Blue with santino?) I think the best segment they ever had was when the "reporter" went to go check on them and went missing they need to do more of that.

Turn Bray face by having Rowan and Harper turning on him and they feud until Rumble. Then whatever after that.

I respect Cena and it is probably isn't even his fault but I'm glad you brought up how they faded since the Cena feud. This keeps on happening which is defeating the purpose as to why you put guys like that against Cena. Win or lose a feud with Cena they should not be fading into obscurity after feuding with him it should elevate them more so just Bray mostly. As far as what to do with them I think it would be interesting if you turned them tweener and slowly built them toward being faces and feuding with the authority. It would make a lot of sense given some of Bray's promos he has done. Bray would make for a perfect anti hero.

It's like after the Cena feud they had no idea what to do with him because there wasn't a logical next step. Cena didn't have the belt or anything so he wasn't going to be champion after the feud. The illustrious Cena heel turn wasn't going to happen either. It's like there wasn't a good way to end the feud for either guy really so they gave Cena the belt while Wyatt didn't have much else to do. I agree they need to up the creepiness factor some more and maybe give him another disciple.

Think the major problem with the Wyatts' is their message stayed the same vague formula and did the same storyline since they debuted. Pretty much just insert (Kane, Bryan, Cena, Jericho) into feud about them spreading their venomous message and needing to be stopped. Should've started a differing message after Cena and just get angry that Superman beat them and take it out on the universe that supposedly drink the kool aid but never actually practiced what they were preaching.

But, again....really can't be an effective heel if certain members of the audience keep cheering them.

After the Cena stuff they really stopped usin' the Wyatts as much. I'm not sure if their popularity was really dyin' down at the time either but now that a few months have passed and they are still not doin' much they have lost some steam. I mean the little feud Rowan/Harper had with Show/Henry didn't go anywhere. Terrible after they didn't win the tag titles or get a send off match for their feud with the Usos at SummerSlam. Gotta rebuild them up some again now after a bunch of bullshit.

I wouldn't really mind Dusts/Usos/Wyatts fightin' over the belts if the Wyatts were made to be biggest threats in the feud. I mean with the current personas of The Dusts and Wyatts they could have some interestin' stuff and throw in "hungry to retain the titles" Usos and I think you got yourself at least a couple months of at least something.

Agree with the creepy ideas. Have the three of them kidnap people back stage, have them 'recruit' people to their side and build up Bray as the leader.

I dunno if there is anyone to potentially fill the spot were it to ever happen but, revisiting this whole Sister Abigail thing again could be intriguing,

Cena didn't set them back. The shield breaking up how they did sat them back. They should have. Been in the authority and not Rollins. The should have taken out Bryan over Kane, won titles, and went on to be heels that feud with Cena, a disbanded yet all face shield, and the like over a guy in Jericho

Right on cue the WWE answers our calls. I'd love to think that this will lead to a singles push for Harper because the guy is a fucking beast but I guess we'll have to wait and see if they do something similar for Rowan.​

That was crazy well made, and it definitely seems like we're getting a Harper singles run. I guess that would explain why they didn't get the tag belts.

Rowan injured?

Why break up a team that was delivering? Tag Teams can be sprinkled into mainevent programs and still be a team.

Harper broke off into singles in NXT as well. They opened up a space for a new Wyatt that can be brainwashed like Axle and team with Rowan
