#2. Hope isn't true: A bit of bad news for Luke Harper

There's a bit of bad news for Luke Harper that comes with the good news of him being released. As you probably know, Luke Harper requested his release in the early quarter of 2019 and it backfired on him as the company didn't grant his request.

It took until December for them to pull the trigger on releasing him (and Sin Cara) and unfortunately for Harper, the release means that he's going to have to go 3 full months without work, according to WON.

If you’re wondering when you’ll next be able to see Luke Harper wrestle, WWE confirmed to The Observer the talent released on Sunday are under 90 day non-competes.

He's been out of action long enough as it is, which would make one imagine that he would be itching to get back in the ring. That's the reason why we hope this isn't true. However, the positive side is that Harper can use the time to get in better shape and improve further.
