Backstage report on Erick Rowan returning to WWE

Erick Rowan is an American professional wrestler, who was in WWE from 2011 to 2020. He is better known for his work as a member of The Wyatt Family including Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper and Braun Strowman. He is a two-time WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champion and one-time NXT Tag Team Champion.

He was released from WWE in 2020 as a part of the budget cuts. He appeared on AEW after Luke Harper’s (Brodie Lee) demise under the name Erick Redbeard. He also appeared in WWE after Bray Wyatt’s death to pay tribute.
