Rumor Roundup: Luke Harper’s Future, WWE Stars Refusing To Work Crown Jewel, More

1) Luke Harper’s Future

WWE recently split up the tag team of Luke Harper and Erick Rowan. Rowan was moved to Monday Night RAW in the WWE Draft and Harper stayed on Smackdown.

According to journalist Tom Colohue, WWE only had plans to use Harper for the storyline involving Rowan, Daniel Bryan, and Roman Reigns. There are now no plans for Harper on Smackdown:

“It seems very likely to me he is going back into creative hiatus, hopefully not for long. Hopefully, we’ll see him on Friday [on SmackDown] and they’ll have an actual plan for this. But, to my knowledge, at the moment there is no plan for Luke Harper. He was pulled in late just as a way to pop that story, make it very concise, and wrap it up in a neat little bow.”

Colohue also noted that Harper is currently unhappy with his position with WWE:

“He is not happy. That’s not changed. He has been put in a very difficult position in that they don’t use him but won’t let him leave, and so we’re going to get moments where he tries to force their hand, which is something that has happened recently on Twitter, for example. He wants to move on. He wants to be used.”
