Bo Dallas Would Be Perfect Fit for The Wyatt Family

At WWE's recent Battleground event, Luke Harper realigned with Bray Wyatt to plant the seeds for a Wyatt Family reunion.

With Erick Rowan out with an injury for the foreseeable future, they're in need of a new third member, and there's no one who fits the bill better than Bo Dallas.

Of the several NXT call-ups in the last year, few have disappointed more than Dallas. He was brought up to the main roster following a lengthy run with the NXT Championship but flopped upon his arrival. Other than a short-lived undefeated streak in singles competition, it was clear Creative didn't have a clue how to handle him, and he's been utilized as an enhancement talent ever since.

Dallas continued to be neglected after returning from injury earlier this year, but he had people talking about him for the first time in a great while when he engaged in a mini feud with Ryback in late April. Fans speculated he was going to get involved in Bray Wyatt's program with Ryback and have it be acknowledged they are real-life brothers, but it unfortunately never came to fruition.

In retrospect, there would have been very little harm in teaming Wyatt with Dallas. The Wyatt-Ryback feud lasted all of one month and was a glorified waste of time, so the introduction of Dallas would have at least made things more interesting.

Although WWE missed the boat on pairing the two up at that time, it isn't too late. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (h/t Wrestling Inc), a six-man tag team match is in the works for SummerSlam, and Dallas would be a logical addition to the Wyatt squad.

Granted, the gimmicks of Wyatt and Dallas are on opposite sides of the spectrum, but a repackaging for the former NXT champion can be easily explained. Wyatt can show Dallas how being positive hasn't done anything for him thus far and that turning to the dark side could catapult his career.

Perhaps they take it one step further by saying Dallas was always "Daddy's favorite," which is why Wyatt became the monster he is today. I don't at all suggest that Irwin R. Shyster play a part in any of this, as the father can be talked about but never be revealed to be him.

As brothers, there's no denying they could really bring a certain chemistry to the team. Luke Harper is a perfect fit based solely on his outlandish looks, but Dallas can work as a member from a storyline standpoint and complete the trio while Rowan is on the sidelines.

Dallas' current character is entertaining but was never defined as a true babyface or heel when he made the initial jump to Raw. All he did was smile, tell the fans to "Bolieve" and show some signs of aggression once in a while.

That said, he could thrive in the role as a "follower" of Wyatt, especially if he was to grow his beard back out. The resemblance between them is uncanny when they're both sporting facial hair.

Wyatt's reunion with Harper at Battleground was so well-received because it was exactly what he needed. He's a one-of-a-kind competitor, but he wasn't the same after The Wyatt Family broke up last fall.

Needless to say, the split of the clan was premature; there was so much left for them to accomplish together before they went their separate ways. Reviving the faction was the wisest thing WWE could have done, but now they have the golden opportunity to throw Dallas into the mix.

At SummerSlam, it appears as though it will be Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose and a returning Sting against Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper and a third guy. Dallas would undoubtedly feel out of place in a match featuring that much star power, but then again, WWE has another month to build him up as being credible.

For what it's worth, Dallas does have a bit of history with Sting. He was the one who interrupted The Icon the night after WrestleMania 31 on Raw but was ultimately laid to rest with a Scorpion Death Drop—and that was the last time Sting has appeared on WWE programming.

WWE could play off that if it wanted to, but it may have forgotten about that at this point. Nevertheless, now is the opportune time to reinvigorate the stagnant career of Dallas by having him join The Wyatt Family.
