WWE Superstar recalls incident where Luke Harper saved him from a broken neck, gives his best wishes

Modified Dec 09, 2019 03:53 GMT

Luke Harper had asked for his WWE release way back in April

Soon after the official announcement was made in regards to Luke Harper's WWE release, SmackDown Live Superstar Mustafa Ali posted a tweet sending his best wishes to Harper.

Ali posted a video that features a spot from the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal on the pre-show of WrestleMania 35, earlier this year. The spot shows Luke Harper attempting to eliminate Ali, when Braun Strowman comes out of nowhere and hits Harper with a Big Boot. The move sends both Harper and Ali flying down in front of the announcers' table, with the latter in an upside-down position. As can be seen in the following video clip, Harper managed to land in such a manner so as not to cause injury to Ali. The high-flyer pointed it out in his tweet while wishing the best to Harper. Check out the tweet below, containing the video in question:

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
