History Trivia / TheWyattFamily

* BreakupBreakout:
** Towards the end of the Family's run as a cohesive unit, there was an arguable amount of BadassDecay going on. Then, Bray "released" Rowan and Harper, all three now going into more-or-less singles competition. So who broke out? ''All of them!'' Bray entered a stellar feud with Wrestling/DeanAmbrose, Harper became part of Team Authority at Survivor Series (being rewarded with an Intercontinental title run), and Rowan was the ultimate surprise entrant for Team Cena. While time will tell who has staying power, it seems the WWE is fairly confident about all three men.
** After PuttingTheBandBackTogether and Bray bringing in Wrestling/BraunStrowman, Strowman definitely became the definitive example of this for the Family following the 2016 draft where Strowman was drafted to Raw while the rest of the Family was sent over to Smackdown Live, becoming an impressive MonsterHeel who got over with the fans for the impressive moveset he possessed for a man of his size, something he hadn't been able to show while he was with Wyatt.

* YouLookFamiliar: Wyatt was Husky Harris. Luke Harper was known to indie wrestling fans (especially in CHIKARA) as [[Wrestling/LukeHarper Brodie Lee]] for years. Erick Rowan, on the other hand... his most notable run pre-Wyatt Family was probably as a lower-midcarder in Wrestling/ProWrestlingNOAH named Thoruf. And even that was "superstardom" compared to Braun Strowman's profile before joining the group.

* FanNickname: "Upside down Wrestling/{{Sheamus}}" for Erick Rowan, due to his pale complexion and bright orange hair, as his beard spikes downwards from his chin in a manner inverted from Sheamus's hair spiking atop his head. Became an AscendedMeme when the Big Show used it to insult Rowan on the November 24, 2014 edition of ''Raw''. It later reached a new level when Rowan's assault on Wrestling/CurtisAxel at the 2015 ''Wrestling/RoyalRumble'' had similar repercussions as Sheamus's 18-second squash of [[Wrestling/BryanDanielson Daniel Bryan]] at ''Wrestling/WrestleMania''.

** Eli Cottonwood, Bray's first lackey/convert, who was only around for a few shows in FCW. Cottonwood was almost like a prototype of Harper, right down to wearing jeans and a wifebeater and having long dark brown hair and a matching beard. (And yes, a [[MemeticMutation mustache]] as well.) He was much cleaner-cut than Harper, though. (Then again, Bray himself didn't have nearly as much facial hair in his early days, either.)
** Audrey Marie and Garrett Dylan were in the Wyatts' first promo's in the background, but were both released and didn't join the Family.

** Bray, towards Wrestling/TheNexus along with [[Wrestling/BryanDanielson Daniel Bryan]] and Wrestling/{{Ryback}}, and ''most certainly'' is this out of the prospects that joined the Wrestling/CMPunk-led version of the stable.[[note]][=McGillicutty=] was repackaged into Wrestling/CurtisAxel after nearly two years off TV. Won an Intercontinental title, but never truly got over, even with the help of Wrestling/PaulHeyman. David Otunga shifted to an out-of-ring character and now most of the work he does for WWE is in a backstage capacity. Mason Ryan's career never gained traction from the beginning, and he was sent back to put over upcoming young talent on NXT.[[/note]]

* HeyItsThatGuy:
** Some may recognize Bray Wyatt from his days as Husky Harris from the second season of ''Wrestling/{{WWE NXT}}'' and Wrestling/TheNexus. His debut was marred by fans chanting "Husky Harris" instead of responding appropriately, and there were early concerns that Wyatt was going to be unable to get over a la Matt Bloom, whose comeback (Lord_ Tensai push was ruined by "Albert" chants. Fortunately, Bray managed to become captivating enough that the Harris chants stopped before long and thus wouldn't need to be accounted for, and even so he occasionally tells fans in unofficial situations (Twitter, autograph signings, etc.) that Husky Harris is his "[[DemonicPossession vessel]]".
** Luke Harper used to wrestle on the indies, most notably Wrestling/{{CHIKARA}} and Wrestling/RingOfHonor, as Brodie Lee.
