My guess is it's just the start of him doing promos again, and maybe starting a feud with...someone? I had guessed he would have been the one to take the belt off of Ziggler, or at least feud over it, but now that Harper's got it who knows. Although I'd really like to see a Harper/Barrett feud.

I'd like the Rowan face turn more if not for the fact that it benefits Cena, whom I want to see get the ever loving poo poo beat out of him after that last segment for that AWFUL promo and for being such a lovely friend.

Repackage him as Husky Harris, have him say that he cast out the demon Bray Wyatt and is a face now.

Husky Harris joins Team Cena.

Bray Wyatt inhabits [a random wrestler, I dunno, Bo Dallas maybe?], who begins wearing Wyatt's shirt and doing his moveset.

Bray Wyatt inhabits Adam Rose, turning him back into Leo Kruger, and getting him out of this horrible loving boondoggle that his career has become.

Yeah because a hernia=a fused neck. The conservative estimate for Roman's healing time was 3 months. It'll be well over that by Rumble time.

If Sheamus did get legit hurt and Rowen was a last second thing than that makes it a bit less dumb. But still, of all the people on the roster, why Rowen? It should have been the Bunny.

Yeah. Honestly, I doubt Rowan will factor into the match enough to really help or hurt it. He'll get his moment with Harper, eat a pin, and take a walk to the back. If he gets more ring time than anyone else on his team I'll be kind of shocked.

I mean it doesn't really matter who's on Team Cena when the real heroes are on Team Authority. Only one man in that entire 10 man match has stood up against the evil known as the American Military, and that's Rusev. The Super-Athlete. And you know who else is a super athlete? Cesaro. And I guess Seth Rollins is cool too.

Wyatt said in that promo where he released him that Rowan was basically a child in a man's body or something so of course Erick Rowan wants to team with John Cena.

Sheamus realized being part of Team Cena is pointless and he's going to turn heel on Sunday brogue kicking Cena right as he lifts Rollins for the AA when it's 1 on 1.

People always say he's terrible but he's been perfectly fine in the ring. He's not going to put on a clinic but he doesn't botch stuff and can sell and his moves look good.

Also with his limited moveset, having him be a face might be better for now since he can play face-in-peril and then power up and use MONSTER HILLBILLY OGRE STRENGTH to get the win after taking a beatdown for most of the match.
