Since going down with a knee injury in March, Luke Harper hasn't been seen on WWE television. A lot has happened in his absence, including the brand extension and Braun Strowman moving away from the rest of The Wyatt Family. Harper's injury meant he was left out of the WWE Draft.

Recently, the promotion's official website ran an article looking at the top 'free agents' who weren't included in the draft. Heath Slater was also left out, even though his current on screen gimmick is based on the idea of him floating between brands.

Top names like The Rock and The Undertaker were listed, but Luke Harper was left out in favour of guys like Tajiri, The Brian Kendrick and even Cryme Tyme. The latter pick is especially odd, JTG and Shad Gaspard haven't been part of WWE for years.

Speaking on the Chad Dukes Wrestling Show, Harper admitted that he felt let down by his exclusion from the article. In particular, the big man was entirely miffed that Cryme Tyme were on there but he wasn't.
