Former WWE Superstar Erick Rowan discusses exclusion of Bo Dallas from the Wyatt Family

Erick Rowan discussed the omission of fellow Superstar Bo Dallas from the Wyatt Family in 2017. Dallas is the real-life brother of Bray Wyatt.

The Wyatt Family consisted mainly of Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper (late) and Erick Rowan. The addition of Braun Strowman was the big change in the booking of the Family.

Erick Rowan spoke about the “Bo-lieve” gimmick of Bo Dallas which hinted at a reunion with his sibling, Bray Wyatt and the faction. Talking to SKWrestling he confirmed that there were no plans to include Dallas in the Wyatt family. He was quoted saying:

“No, because it’s a character and not real life. It started with the characters that Bray Wyatt had with the white shirts, stuff like that. Then he did some sort of vignettes with Dusty, and it was completely kind of a different thing, and then, when they finally decided to kind of go with it, I know Brodie was going to be like the first son of, you know, Bray. He was just called the first son, and he was on NXT for a couple of weeks, and NXT had started separating itself from main roster stuff to being its own entity and show. Then like, maybe three days before because we had done things backstage.

“I tried different promos with them, but like I would wear different masks, no masks, jammer bottoms, I didn’t know what I was going to wear. It was like two days before one of the NXT tapings; they were like, ‘Okay, you are going to be the second son of Bray, which was funny because we were older than him. But it’s funny, and it just kind of evolved from there with the rocking chairs and all that stuff.”
