Luke Harper has asked to be released from his WWE contract, and, really, who could blame him?
Although the news does come as a surprise after Harper defeated NXT's Dominik Dijakovic in a barn-burner of a match at Axxess over the weekend, the former Wyatt Family member has been cleared to compete since February and still hasn't had a televised match.
In his statement, Luke thanks his fans, co-workers and the company, and says he looks forward to continuing to "grow as a performer and person,"
In most people's eyes, Harper was never given a real shot as a singles performer after The Wyatt Family was disbanded, and although he did achieve Tag-Team success with Rowan as The Bludgeon Brothers, his talent really should have propelled him to a more prominent place on the roster.
