5 biggest WWE backstage secrets that Luke Harper revealed

#2 Bray Wyatt pitched the Wyatt Family idea before he even signed

Luke Harper was due to work a tour with Dragon Gate in Japan in 2011. As his wife was pregnant at the time, he decided that he was going to step away from wrestling as a full-time career and he was only going to wrestle locally. Then, to the surprise of the former Intercontinental champion, he was signed by WWE.

In another conversation on E&C’s Pod of Awesomeness, Harper revealed that Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Cesaro all put in a good word to help get him signed.

He added that Bray Wyatt pitched the idea of the Wyatt Family to him before they met and before he had even signed his WWE contract.

The former Wyatt Family member said (quotes via Wrestling Inc.):

“[Cesaro] goes, 'Hey man, I need you to talk to this guy.' And I go, 'Okay,' so he puts Bray Wyatt on the phone and I've never met him. And this guy talks to me for 20 minutes about this idea he had, and how I would fit in perfectly, and how it's going to be great, and the best thing that ever happened. And, literally, my head was spinning.”
