Harper is so talented, hopefully they take his time away as a reason to rebuild him. I'm not holding my breath, though.

please be on SmackDown. SmackDown needs him. Smackdown needs mid-card faces and main event heels. Harper is neither and like I said before I don't want him on Smackdown if he's just going to be Bray's bitch that loses all the time.

I'd rather him be a mid-card heel on Raw, it's something they need at the moment. He could also feud with Sami, they'll put on some stellar matches, could steal the show.

Why not elevate him to main event Heel status then through Bray's influence. Besides, I could totally see Bray and Luke as tag champions.

I hope he gets a solid solo run. One hell of a talent.

Smackdown needs heels who can run with the IC title, right now the only ones who can are Miz and Corbin. On Smackdown nobody really feels like a jobber, everyone seems like they belong in the position they're in for the most part. On Raw Apollo was basically a glorified jobber but on Smackdown he's now a midcarder. If Harper went to Raw, he would feel like a low card jobber imo

Either brand he could be gold. Could be a legendary U.S. Champion.

I guess its true what someone said in the "Rowan is injured" thread, one of the wyatts must be injured at all times, its almost as if they're running a 1 in 1 out policy on the family. I thought he was on smackdown though... I love being right. 😆

I'm not even trying to troll here and I'm sure I'll catch flack for this... BUT... what do people see in this guy?
To me, he seems like generic big dude? Somebody englighten me?

I'm not even trying to troll here and I'm sure I'll catch flack for this... BUT... what do people see in this guy? To me, he seems like generic big dude? Somebody englighten me? Harper is one of the few working big men still around. Kane, Show, Taker etc are/were great, but those guys are rarely tearing it up now. There's Strowman and Gallows, but they're not great. And WWE in general has a lot more little flippy, slingshotty type guys than before. There's only so many times you can see the Cesaro/Ziggler/Rollins vs themselves type of match. Harper gives all those guys a different match than they can have with each other, and he can keep up with them. It's very difficult for the little darling guys to get much heat on each other, but it's easy for Harper to get heat on them. And because of his size, he can have a different match with top guys like Cena and Reigns than they would have wrestling someone their own size or smaller. He's just an absolute asset to a heel roster. He's not perfect, he probably shouldn't be doing suicide dives for example (it looks cool when he's that big, but 600 guys on the roster already do it).,, But he is damn good. He's very good at staying in character in the ring too. The Wyatt Family role is a double-edged sword for him. It gets him a lot of TV ring time against big names when they're feuding with Bray for the PPV, but it also means Harper is the one getting beat every time before Bray sneak attacks the guy or whatever. Because he can work, he hasn't been protected the way a monster should be. That's an issue now if he's a solo guy as well, because he's been beaten so much already it's like one more loss will never make much of a difference now, so they can always kill 15 minutes of Raw or Smackdown having him lose a long match to Zayn or Ambrose etc.

Luke Harper would get lost in the shuffle on Raw. He'd probably face jobbers every week or feud with Roman Reigns.
A SmackDown Tag Team Championship reign with Bray Wyatt would be great down the road.

A SmackDown Tag Team Championship reign with Bray Wyatt would be great down the road. A feud with Roman, where he actually looks like a capable threat, could do wonders for him. I think he'd be status quo on SD as long as Bray is around, so why not stick him on RAW and see what happens? Hell, he could even go face and take out Strowman.

Make Harper face and place him on SD. Don't make him a comical joke but a silent badass could work for him without changing much of his gimmick. SD needs a top midcard face (Dolph is the only one they got right now) and Harper could fit right in. Plus on SD he has a far better chance to shine than on Raw where he'd be in the same spot as Sheamus and Cesaro.

Yep. Harper returns just as Erick Rowan is sidelined with a torn rotator cuff.
