Does anyone remember Luke Harper's IC title reign?
Does anyone remember Luke Harper's IC title reign?

Luke Harper is best known today as one half of the former Smackdown Tag Team Champions, The Bludgeon Brothers but back in 2014, he was receiving a mini-push as a singles performer.

Harper had volunteered his services to the Authority of Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. As a reward for his loyalty, he was granted a crack at Authority enemy Dolph Ziggler's Intercontinental Championship.

On the November 17, 2014 episode of Raw, Harper defeated Ziggler to become IC Champion.

It was a reign that would last a mere 27 days as the former Wyatt Family member dropped the belt back to Ziggler at the 2014 edition of TLC: Tables, Ladders and Chairs.

In truth, it was a shame Harper's run was so short. By far the more talented of his tag team with Erick Rowan, Harper has a scary, serial killer like stare and an unorthodox but entertaining ring style that meshes well with everyone.

Still, an active performer in his prime, perhaps if Harper was to receive a second IC title run, it would be much more memorable than his first.
