On Monday’s RAW, we saw the debut promo for the Wyatt Family – Bray Wyatt, Erick Rowan and Luke Harper. The talented trio of NXT stars are widely regarded as 3 of the top talents at developmental, with Rowan and Harper currently holding the NXT tag team titles.
Wyatt, the group’s leader, was last seen on WWE television as the Nexus member Husky Harris. The character is loosely based on Robert De Niro’s portrayal of Max Cady in the 1991 remake of Cape Fear and has similarities to former WWE superstar Waylon Mercy, portrayed by Dan Spivey back in 1995.
Rowan worked as Thorus in Pro Wrestling NOAH before signing with WWE and Harper worked for Dragon Gate (and other promotions) as Brodie Lee.
Following their debut promo, Wyatt tweeted:
“It has begun………. #EaterOfWorlds #RAW”
Harper wrote:
“NOW you know what that means. We’re Coming……”
