We haven't seen Luke Harper on TV since March, but he's recently been cleared to return to the ring. While there's still no definitive word on which brand he'll end up on, it's looking increasingly likely he'll be the newest member of the Raw roster.

Raw is having some upcoming live events in Peru, Chile and Ecuador from Oct. 5 - 8, and Harper is listed on the lineup to take on Sin Cara on the 5th and Sami Zayn on the 6th.

Either brand could use Harper, but it's probably best to keep him away from Bray Wyatt and Erick Rowan on SmackDown. He was firmly defined as a mid-card act ever since the end of his Intercontinental Title run, and needs a chance to be on his own if he's ever going to make it to the next level.

Of course, since he hasn't shown up on TV, management could easily switch him back to SmackDown, but as of now, he's a Raw guy and will likely be showing up on TV within the next couple weeks, if not at Clash of Champions on Sunday.

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at." Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
