Ever since the untimely passing away of Bray Wyatt, fans have been reminiscing about the legacy of his period in WWE. With Triple H making last-minute arrangements and WWE paying a fitting tribute to him on SmackDown with the entire locker room standing together and remembering Wyatt, fans couldn’t help but notice two other individuals offering their condolences on the entrance ramp.

Seeing Braun Strowman and Erick Rowan together has made fans nostalgic for one of the strongest factions in WWE history, The Wyatt Family, resulting in them asking the Head of Creative for a reunion on social media.

WWE decided to pay their respects by honoring the last edition of SmackDown to Bray Wyatt and the legendary Terry Funk.

While several superstars, including Cody Rhodes and LA Knight, paid their respects with classy segments, none left a more profound impact than witnessing Rowan and Strowman embracing together.

In a heartbreaking picture posted by WWE, we see the two crying and finding solace in each other while they muster the courage to pay their tribute.

The Wyatt Family was a huge stable that made its debut in NXT in 2012, comprising Wyatt, Rowan, and Luke Harper. They would go on to have iconic feuds, the most prominent with The Shield in a classic match.

With the group gaining popularity, WWE introduced Braun Strowman to the faction in 2015. After a successful stint, the group split up, but their longevity and characters still resonate with fans. In light of this, the WWE Universe issued a demand to Triple H.

“Hire Erick Back” Fans make their demands heard to Triple H

Unfortunately, the current tale differs from what it was a decade ago. In 2023, Erick Rowan is in AEW, while Strowman is still part of WWE. Let’s look at how fans have reacted to their post on social media.

The majority of them urged WWE to bring Rowan back. Rowan is currently in AEW and also working on the indie scene. Fans feel his talent and importance are certainly more and deserve a platform like WWE.

“hire Erick again, he has to continue a legacy that Widham dreamed of doing, let him tell his story now 🙏🏼”

“I’m glad that Rowan was there. They are the last two of the Wyatt Family. We need to protect them at all cost. I know Brodie and Bray are together on the other side, amongst the fireflies”

Some also felt Bo Dallas should make a comeback to lead the Wyatt Family. Dallas is Bray Wyatt’s younger brother in real life, hence makes sense for him to lead the faction.

“BRING BACK BO DALLAS AND MAKE A TAG TEAM WITH ERIC AND BRAUN!!”

“We need Bo to lead this family out of the dark”

The sentiments echoed of continuing Wyatt’s legacy by making Strowman and Rowan a tag team.

With WWE always in sync with their fans, do you think they would grant the wishes of the WWE universe and bring back Rowan to WWE? Do you also think it’ll lead to the reunion of the Wyatt Family?
