#2 Luke Harper
2018 proved to be an amazing year for Luke Harper as he became tag team champions with Erick Rowan as a part of The Bludgeon Brothers. However, a wrist injury caused him to miss months of in-ring action. Earlier this year, the doctors cleared Harper to wrestler but still, WWE waited until WrestleMania 35 to use him. The former champion returned at Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal which is reportedly a reason of his heat with Vince McMahon.
As per reports, the WWE’s CEO didn't like the way Harper wrestled in the match and it's why he canceled everything the creative team had planned for him. Sometime later, the former Intercontinental Champion asked for his release and announced the same publicly, which added insult to the injury. WWE said no to his appeal and as a punishment they also extended his contract till next year's WrestleMania 36. Harper is trying hard to return to WWE programming but since Vince "hates" him, it almost impossible.
