The Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer reported in September 2014 that former WWE Superstar Luke Harper had an issue with his left eye but the severity of the injury was unknown.

One week later, the picture above showed Harper wearing an eye patch during The Wyatt Family’s six-man tag team match against The Big Show and The Usos at a WWE live event.

However, the former Intercontinental Champion did not wear the patch when he next appeared on WWE RAW to support Wyatt in his match against The Big Show.

Harper even had a big role to play in the match – he caused a disqualification by attacking The Big Show – but he showed no signs of the eye injury that caused him to wear an eye patch leading up to the show.

To this day, it is still not known how serious the injury was and why the former Wyatt Family member did not continue to wear the eye patch on WWE television.

It is worth noting that Harper did not give many media interviews during this stage of his WWE career, and it is highly unlikely that a 2014 eye injury will be at the top of anybody’s list of questions if they get the chance to speak to Mr. Brodie Lee!
