Last week, Luke Harper revealed that he asked for his release from WWE. On Thursday, it was reported that WWE would not be granting his release and will actually be adding several months to his contract due to the time that he missed while injured.
We have another rumor to pass your way on Harper.
On Wrestling Observer Radio (subscribe here), Dave Meltzer shared that there were some plans that were recently scrapped for Harper on WWE television.
Here is what Meltzer said (h/t to WrestlingNews.co) for the quote:
“He’s been told that not only is he not released but his contract is being extended. The gist is that he was coming back and he was going to be in a program with Sami Zayn and, for whatever reason, they canceled it and he just felt they don’t have anything [for him].”
