Luke Harper was a big part of the Wyatt family until only a handful of weeks ago saw the faction disband. Out of all involved, he can’t be happier with this development, as he is now seeing his stock rise apart from them.
When speaking with Fox Sports about his role in Smackdown since the end of the faction, he discussed his feelings about being in the group.
“It’s incredibly frustrating. There were times in my career when I felt like I was serving several different masters, and for me that wasn’t beneficial. It was to a point, but then I didn’t really realize what was out there until these last couple weeks.
The 2014 run was a bit of a tease. I was still… I guess not fully developed as a WWE superstar at that point, and I feel like I’m completely developed now. The last six or seven weeks away from the Family have been very eye-opening.
It was frustrating. Even to this day I’ll go to an airport and someone will say ‘hey Bray Wyatt!’ or ‘hey Erick Rowan!’ They don’t know who I am. And that’s very frustrating, because I’m part of a group.”
Likely, now that he is standing on his own, he won’t have any more cases of mistaken identity in the future.
