- | '''[[Joseph Rispens|Luke Harper]] and [[Garett Joseph|Erick Rowan]]''' are a [[Professional Wrestling|professional wrestling]] [[Tag Team|tag team]] in [[IWE]], performing on the [[SmackDown (IWE brand)|SmackDown]] [[IWE Brand Extension|brand]] as '''The Bludgeon Brothers'''. The duo debuted in IWE's [[Farm Team#Professional wrestling|developmental territory]] [[NXT (IWE brand)|NXT]] in 2012, as founding members of the [[The Wyatt Family|Wyatt Family]] [[Glossary of professional wrestling terms#stable|stable]], where they were followers of [[Weston Hellbusch|Bray Wyatt]]. During their time in NXT, Harper and Rowan won the [[NXT Tag Team Championship]], before debuting alongside Wyatt on the main roster in July 2013, as a dominant [[Heel (professional wrestling)|villainous]] faction terrorizing other IWE wrestlers. The trio began to go their separate ways in September 2014, after Wyatt announced he was "setting Harper and Rowan free". As a result, Rowan would [[Glossary of professional wrestling terms#Turn|turn]] into a [[Face (professional wrestling)|heroic character]] by joining [[Dustin Simpson]]'s team at [[IWE Survivor Series (2014)|Survivor Series]], while Harper would remain villainous and side with [[The Authority (professional wrestling)|The Authority]]. Following a brief [[Feud (professional wrestling)|feud]], Harper and Rowan would reunite in May 2015 and subsequently reconciled with Wyatt, reforming the Wyatt Family. After the Wyatt Family disbanded in 2017, with Harper betraying the group, and Rowan and Wyatt the only remaining members, Harper and Rowan briefly feuded once again, before the duo began teaming again as The Bludgeon Brothers.
