#2. Hope is true: Luke Harper to snub AEW for another promotion

Luke Harper, now known as Brodie Lee

Luke Harper was finally granted a release from his WWE contract and he's been biding his time, with many people wondering where he's going to go.

The common answer is AEW, but according to Tom Colohue, the contact hasn't been made as yet. As a result, the belief is that he will go to New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) instead:

“I suspect if that’s something Luke Harper wants to do, the door seems to be wide open for it. Whether or not that’s his choice, I’m not sure. It depends how he would be used, but I think AEW is built well for him. There are obviously people like Jon Moxley there who he could put on great matches with and I think that is something of interest. Whether or not he’s been approached, to my knowledge, he has not yet.”

We hope this is true because NJPW is much better suited to his style of wrestling and we can see Harper/Brodie Lee have a career resurgence.
