Luke Harper is one of the most talented Superstars on the main roster. He can work both as an intimidating heel as well as a vengeful face.

He has done incredible work as a solo player as well as a team-player. His in-ring skills are quite impressive, However, he can't seem to get his big break due to some reason.

It finally started looking like Harper was about to get his deserved push when vignettes of the repackaged team of him and Erick Rowan started airing in late-2017. The duo, renamed as "The Bludgeon Brothers", arrived on SmackDown Live shortly after and had a dominant start.

The team ended up winning the SmackDown Live Tag Team Championships from The Usos at Wrestlemania 34 and held on to the titles for about four months.

During their reign as the Tag Team Champions, they defeated teams like The Usos, The New Day, The Good Brothers and Team Hell No (Kane and Daniel Bryan).

Unfortunately, Rowan suffered an injury at SummerSlam 2018, which forced the team to drop the titles on the following edition of SmackDown Live.

Rowan's injury put Harper in the sidelines too as there weren't any plans for him as a solo Superstar.

However, it was rumored that if Rowan hadn't gotten injured, there were big plans in store for the Bludgeon Brothers post-Summerslam. Thus, Harper's push was harmed because of Rowan's injury.
