Erick Rowan Cleared For In-Ring Return

The Wyatt Family has been splintered on the road to WrestleMania 33 … and now, to add further intrigue, Erick Rowan‘s been cleared to return.

As we previously reported, Rowan went under the knife to repair a torn rotator cuff back in October and it was expected that he’d be out of action until March.

Looks like that timeline was right on target, because Pro Wrestling Sheet was told he’s been given the green light.

Erick’s medical news couldn’t come at a better time. Bray Wyatt just recently won the WWE Championship and is currently feuding with Rowan’s former tag partner Luke Harper.

The wrestler tweeted this creepy video today as well:

Last night on WWE SmackDown Live, Randy Orton burned the infamous Wyatt Family Compound to the ground.

Orton appeared on the big screen via satellite from the creepy shack and declared, “This is your world, Bray. But it’s not mine!”

The Viper went on to explain that he only joined the Wyatt’s to eventually screw them over.

Randy then began to pour gasoline all over the compound as Bray screamed in anger, watching helplessly in the ring, and eventually Orton torched that sucker to the ground.

More On Anthem Sports & Entertainment Phasing Out TNA Name From Impact Wrestling

As we reported last month, Anthem Sports & Entertainment have been phasing out the initials “TNA” and just going with Impact Wrestling. According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider, the company reportedly has a strategy to discontinue the name. He noted that while he hasn’t heard anything officially, the GFW initials replacing “TNA” would “make a lot of sense.”

As noted, the “TNA” initials had been removed from their social media accounts and from their website, with the exception of links to ShopTNA.com and Total Access TNA Wrestling. While the TNA logo still appears on their title belts, they are simply referred to as the “World Heavyweight Championship”, “X Division Championship” and “World Tag Team Championship” on their website.
