The latest update on former WWE Smackdown Tag Team Champion Luke Harper has surfaced online as PWinsider.com reports that he is back on the road with WWE this week. He hasn’t been on the road with the rest of the crew since earlier this year.
This comes after Harper publicly disclosed that he had requested a WWE release in April, but WWE declined to grant it.
His contract with the company is slated to expire in November, but WWE could extend it due to time that he missed because of injury.
Harper hasn’t been seen on TV since August 21, 2018 during an episode of SmackDown Live in Brooklyn, New York where he and Rowan lost the SmackDown Tag Team Titles to The New Day. Rowan suffered a torn bicep and WWE took Harper off of television.
He did work working some NXT live events in the latter part of 2018 and also underwent surgery due to a wrist injury.
Harper did work the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal on the WrestleMania 35 Kickoff Show but hasn’t worked a match since the April 9th SmackDown TV event where he lost to EC3 in a dark match.
