10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (March 11)

Aside from a short period flying solo in late-2014/early-2015, Luke Harper has been tied to Bray Wyatt for virtually his entire run in WWE; even stretching back to the genesis of The Wyatt Family in NXT, Harper has been cast as one of Bray's most loyal troops since being signed in 2012.

On television every week and in a featured spot, it'd be easy to imagine that Harper had a blast as part of the Wyatt faction, but his comments during an interview with FOX Sports this week seem to suggest otherwise.

Feeling limited behind the scenes by his position on programming, Harper also told FOX Sports that he's been mistaken for being Bray Wyatt at airports by some fans, and that hasn't sat well with him; it's unlikely that Harper harbours any ill will towards Bray, but it can't be fun to find out that some fans don't even know your character's name.

Dating back to NXT, Harper's frustration has grown due to a largely mute role standing behind Wyatt, and it turns out he has been yearning to see what he can achieve on his own for quite some time
