5 Reasons why WWE granted Luke Harper his release

#1 Why keep a Superstar who wants to leave?

There is an argument to be had that WWE should keep Superstars under contract even if they ask to be released from their deals. After all, especially in the cases of Superstars who have recently renewed, they are the ones who decided to sign a new deal, so why should the company feel the need to let them leave?

On the flip side, Luke Harper signed his most recent WWE contract several years ago, presumably on the assumption that he would be used more favourably than he has been in storylines on television.

Taking the latter perspective into consideration, WWE is never going to get the best out of Superstars who are actively trying to leave the company before their contract is due to expire.

Triple H even said recently that he does not understand why certain people have told fans on Twitter that they want to leave, and he does not think it is good business to air work issues in public.

Needless to say, public disputes between management and Superstars is not, as Triple H would say, “best for business”, so it was inevitable that WWE would eventually allow their wantaway talents to leave.
