Luke Harper was once part of The Wyatt Family before the group split and went their separate ways. As a former Intercontinental Champion, it was thought that Harper would be one of the break out stars after the split, but instead he was paired with Erick Rowan once again and the duo became known as The Bludgeon Brothers.

At WrestleMania back in 2018, the duo were finally able to claim the SmackDown Tag Team Championships, but an injury to Rowan meant that they were then forced to drop the titles unexpectedly and the company then had no idea what to do with Harper.

With Rowan sidelined for a number of months, Harper wrestled on NXT a number of times but seemingly became frustrated this year around WrestleMania when Rowan had returned to the ring without him and WWE still hadn't given the former Champion any kind of storyline to sink his teeth into.

Harper requested his release from the company back in April, but the company once again denied this request and allowed him to rejoin Rowan a few months later. The duo has since been split in the WWE Draft and it's now unknown what the future holds for Harper.
