#4 He had already been written out of storylines
The biggest storyline on SmackDown during Eric Bischoff’s four-month spell as Executive Director revolved around Roman Reigns and the multiple attacks that he narrowly avoided in the backstage area.
After a lengthy ‘Whodunnit?’ saga, it emerged that Erick Rowan was behind the attacks, leading to a one-on-one match between the two men at Clash of Champions.
Just when it looked as though Reigns would pick up the victory, Luke Harper attacked “The Big Dog” to help his former Bludgeon Brother tag team partner record a statement-making win.
At the time, it seemed that Harper and Rowan were set for a long-term run as a tag team once again, especially after they teamed up to face Reigns and Daniel Bryan in a losing effort at Hell in a Cell in October.
However, the two men were separated in the 2019 draft, with Rowan moving to RAW and Harper being drafted to SmackDown.
While Rowan has featured regularly on the red brand since the draft, Harper has been completely written out of WWE’s storylines, with his last televised match coming in the Battle Royal at Crown Jewel.
