10 Brodie Lee Matches To Rewatch And Relive

10. Luke Harper Vs. Randy Orton (WWE Elimination Chamber 2017)

WWE missed a trick by not putting Luke Harper into the WWE Championship match at WrestleMania 33. Well, WWE also missed a trick by having Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton do battle in a ring with bugs superimposed onto the canvas, but that is another story entirely. Orton's dismantling of the Wyatt Family was actually a decent story before the abominable match, a match that would have been exponentially better if Harper had been involved.

Fans had to make do with a battle between Harper and Orton prior to WrestleMania, a criminally-underrated slow-burner of a match that saw the crowd embrace the future Exalted One in the hope of a babyface saviour in a feud full of heels. This should have been Luke Harper's coming out party.

The fact that Harper and Orton worked so well together only adds further insult to injury. Luke Harper led the way throughout, a standout performance that laid bare what everyone surely already knew; that he was a main event big man waiting to be given the chance to shine.

Luke Harper had to make do with a spot in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal instead. A travesty.
