Luke Harper returns at WWE Clash of Champions

Luke Harper resurfaced on WWE television tonight, aiding his tag team partner.

Harper showed up during the Roman Reigns/Erik Rowan no disqualification match that took place at WWE Clash of Champions. Reigns and Rowan brawled all over the stage towards the end of the match. Reigns prepared to hit a spear on Rowan, but as he was running got caught by a big boot from Harper. The two double teamed Reigns back in the ring, and eventually it was Rowan who scored the win after hitting the iron claw slam.

Harper has spent most of the last year in limbo. He returned from wrist surgery in March and appeared on both the WrestleMania 35 men’s battle royal and the Worlds Collide event that took place over WrestleMania weekend. 

He publicly asked for his release on Twitter in April, but WWE refused to grant the release. Dave Meltzer reported at the time they instead added more time to his contract that was due to expire in November due to his previous injury.
