Luke Harper has made his will to leave WWE known to the public for a long time now. The former Tag Team Champion had posted his request for release on Twitter, which in turn reportedly infuriated the WWE management and was subsequently rejected by them.

While Harper was brought back briefly to aid Rowan in his feud with Roman Reigns, Harper has been absent from WWE television for a long time. SportsKeeda's Tom Colohue explained Luke Harper's situation and why he was released:

It's the case that the creative team simply don't seem to know or didn't at least, seemed to know what to do with him. His recent pairing with Erick Rowan was very last minute, that was something Eric Bischoff was pushing to my knowledge, and while I don't believe it's anything to do with Eric Bischoff departing, I do believe that storyline was very rushed. And, I think that has to do with the brand split and the intention to have a new draft, just before Survivor Series.

So with Luke Harper, Creative simply didn't have anything to offer him. He's been in creative hiatus quite a lot, he obviously picked up an injury at a bad time with the Bludgeon Brothers, that tag team seemed like it was going places.
