The Wyatt Family was an American professional wrestling stable in WWE originally composed of Bray Wyatt, Erick Rowan, and Luke Harper.
Portrayed as a villainous cult from the bayous of the Deep South, the Wyatt Family debuted in WWE's then-developmental branch NXT in November 2012, with Harper and Rowan going on to win the NXT Tag Team Championship. They debuted on the main roster in July 2013 and terrorized wrestlers such as Kane, CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, John Cena, and The Shield, among others.
Bryan joined the group in late 2013 and left in early 2014, after which Wyatt defeated him to end their feud. The original incarnation of the group began to go their separate ways in September 2014, after Wyatt announced he was "setting Harper and Rowan free". Rowan would turn into a heroic character by joining Cena's team at Survivor Series, while Harper would remain villainous and side with The Authority against Cena's team. Following a brief feud with each other, Harper and Rowan reunited in May 2015.
In July 2015, the Wyatt Family reunited and were joined by Braun Strowman, who was later taken out of the faction as a result of the 2016 WWE draft. In late 2016, with the addition of Randy Orton, the Wyatt Family won the SmackDown Tag Team Championship, holding it under the Freebird Rule. After they lost the championship, Harper left the group in January 2017. Orton won the 2017 Royal Rumble match and Wyatt won his first WWE Championship the following month, with the pair facing each other at WrestleMania 33. Wyatt and Rowan continued their alliance as the last remaining members of the Wyatt Family until the 2017 WWE Superstar Shake-up, in which Wyatt was moved to Raw while Rowan remained on SmackDown, thus disbanding the Wyatt Family.
As of August 2024, Rowan, Strowman, and Orton are the only former members of the group still active in WWE. Bryan joined AEW in 2021. Harper, who joined AEW in 2020, died from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis at the age of 41 in December 2020; Wyatt died from a heart attack at the age of 36 in August 2023. Rowan joined The Wyatt Sicks, a heroic group led by Wyatt's real-life brother Bo Dallas and his alter ego Uncle Howdy, in mid-2024.
