Recently, former SmackDown Live Tag Team Champion Luke Harper was spotted backstage wearing a cast on his left hand. Per Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Harper is currently recovering from a wrist surgery. Harper recently underwent surgery since WWE wasn’t doing much with him due to his partner, Erick Rowan, being sidelined.
Rowan suffered a torn right bicep during “The Bludgeon Brother’s” SmackDown Live Tag Team Title defense against The New Day at SummerSlam. However, the following Tuesday, due to Rowan’s injury, The Bludgeon Brothers dropped the titles to The New Day on SmackDown Live. It was unfortunate timing given Harper and Rowan were receiving a nice push as a monster tag team.
As it turns out, there have been pitches made to have Harper return in a reunion with Bray Wyatt. That would be fitting given WWE hasn’t done anything with Wyatt after Matt Hardy’s in-ring retirement from WWE. Perhaps the pair will get back into the mix in time for a WrestleMania 35 program.
Recently, Rowan spoke on “E&C’s Pod Of Awesomeness” to talk about his WWE career. At one point, Harper and Rowan were to be split up. However, they were then thrust into The Bludgeon Brothers, and things worked out:
“Years ago, me and Rowan were told we’re done. We’re done being a team, we’ve done everything we can, and we’re here for five years later in a whole new thing and we’re tag team champions, so I can’t complain.”
