There’s more to Erick Rowan than his intimidating stature and creepy lamb mask may suggest. The nearly 7-foot-tall, 315-pound Superstar is a classicallytrained guitarist, an award-winning winemaker and a bona fide genius with an IQ of 143. The fact that none of this acumen comes through in the ring — where he tends to resemble something closer to an angry caveman than a Napa Valley vintner — shouldn’t come as a surprise. Opponents are much more likely to be intimidated by a Neanderthal than a nerd.Intimidation — like solving Rubik’s cubes— has always been one of Rowan’s greatest assets. From the time he debuted as a mindless zombie in Bray Wyatt’s twisted horde, the vicious big man helped carry out punishing attacks on Superstars like Daniel Bryan, Kane and John Cena. Regularly teaming with fellow Wyatt Family member Luke Harper,Rowan came close to winning the WWE Tag Team Titles on multiple occasions, but never claimed the prize. When Wyatt finally set his followers free, Rowan reemerged on his own in fall 2014 and revealed himself to be a complex, deeply fascinating individual. After surprising the WWE Universe by aligning with Team Cena in their victorious stand against The Authority atSurvivor Series 2014, Big Red became anunexpected fan favorite who stood up to bullies like Big Show. The bearded beast challenged The Worlds Largest Athlete in the first-ever Stairs Match at WWE TLC2014. The eventual reinstatement of The Authority led to Rowans firing, along with Ziggler and Ryback, but another appeareance by the vigilante Sting enabled John Cena to defeat Seth Rollins, Big Show & Kane in a 3-on-1 Handicap Match on the Jan. 19 "Raw Reunion" to get all three Superstars reinstated.Despite losing his Royal Rumble Qualifying Match, Rowan emerged to unofficially fight in the pay-per-view free-for-all, only to get knocked out of the ring during a vicious Wyatt Family reunion. Most recently, Rowan has been joining former teammates Ryback and Dolph Ziggler in their stand against The Authority. At WWE Fastlane, Ziggler, Ryback & Rowan came up short against Rollins, Big Show & Kane, but were savedfrom a 5-on-3 beatdown by the returningRandy Orton. The next week on SmackDown, Ziggler, Ryback & Rowan were able to get some payback on The Authority, defeating Rollins, Big Show & Kane in a WWE Fastlane rematch.Rowan competed in the second annual Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal on the WrestleMania 31 Kickoff Show, only to come up short in his first match at The Show of Shows. He has since reunited with Harper in a newfound mission to make their enemies pay for rejecting them. As Rowan has said, "Its okay to be afraid. You should be."After being forced out of action due to injury, Rowan returned to The Wyatt Family during their rivalry with The Brothers of Destruction. Later, he and therest of his bretheren would turn their furyon ECW alumni The Dudley Boyz, TommyDreamer and Rhyno. Though Rowan was eliminated from the bout, he was successful in helping The Wyatt Family soften the hardcore warriors up to be driven through tables on their way to victory.
