Just before Wrestlemania 32, Luke Harper suffered a torn ACL, which cost him a Wrestlemania appearance, but also cost him the last several months of his career.
The timetable for his return was October, so he’s right on schedule for his WWE return, which is now said to be happening next week. The only question is if Harper will be “signed” by Raw or SmackDown.
Honestly, SmackDown seems to make more sense. Bray Wyatt and Erick Rowan are there, so the original trio of The Wyatt Family could reunite. We could also see Harper vs. Wyatt, which looks great on paper.
However, WWE may want to book him as a singles star and put him on Monday Night Raw. He’d be able to stand on his own that way, and that’s not something he wouldn’t be able to do.
Currently, he’s the only member of The Wyatt Family to hold a championship. Not only that, but Braun Strowman continues to dominate on Raw so that dynamic will likely be addressed as well.
According to a report from CageSideSeats.com, Luke Harper is expected to join Raw this Monday after the “Clash of Champions” PPV. As of this writing, it’s unclear what Harper will be doing creatively on WWE TV.
Do you think Luke Harper should go to Raw or SmackDown?
