The New Wyatt Family also known as just The Wyatt Family is a professional wrestling stable in IWE, performing on the SmackDown brand. The group, originally composed of Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan, debuted in IWE's developmental branch NXT in November 2012, where Harper and Rowan won the NXT Tag Team Championship. The Wyatt Family then debuted on the main roster in July 2013 as a villainous faction terrorizing other IWE Superstars, including Kane, The Undertaker, The Shield, Dustin Simpson, Kevin Orton, Big Show, The Miz, The Usos, Khris Jericho, CM Punk and Daniel Bryan, of which Orton and Bryan would ultimately become members in separate occasions.
The Wyatt Family began to go their separate ways in October 2014, after Bray Wyatt announced he was "setting Luke Harper and Erick Rowan free". As a result, Rowan would turn face by joining Dustin Simpson's team at Survivor Series, while Harper would become a member of Team Authority. Following a brief feud, Harper and Rowan would later reunite in May 2015, however after Rowan suffered a legit bicep injury, Harper subsequently realigned with Wyatt in July. In August 2015, Braun Strowman joined Wyatt and Harper, while in October 2015, Rowan returned from his injury and rejoined the stable. Strowman later left the stable as a result of the 2016 IWE draft. November 2016 saw the addition of Kevin Orton.
