8 WWE Superstars who were a part of SummerSlam in 2018 but won't be in 2019

#3 Luke Harper

Luke Harper

Luke Harper had a great run as part of the Bludgeon Brothers last year. But unfortunately for Harper, the run came to a halt when his partner Rowan got injured. If Rowan didn't get injured, The Bludgeon Brothers would be dominating the tag team division in WWE right now.

Harper and Rowan competed against Big E and Xavier Woods of The New Day to defend their SmackDown Tag Team Championship. The match proved to be very physical, but the ending disappointed the fans. The Bludgeon Brothers lost it during the match, and hit Big E and Woods with their mallets, leading to a disqualification.

Harper and Rowan demolished the SmackDown Tag Team Division last year, but Rowan's injury proved to be unlucky for them. Even though Rowan has returned to team up with Daniel Bryan, we haven't heard of Harper from months.

This past April, Harper went public with his desire for a release, which was promptly turned down by WWE. However, there are conflicting reports about Harper's return. There are two possibilities, the first being that WWE has still not decided to use him, or they're keeping his return a secret.
