The injury bug has really hit WWE's tag team division in the last few months. With Jey Uso out with a shoulder injury, Tyson Kidd's broken neck and now Erick Rowan's torn biceps they have lost three teams while also making things tough on Jimmy Uso, Cesaro and Luke Harper as well. Harper's a really good worker who is capable of having good matches with anybody, but it seems unlikely he'll ever get a significant push. He's got that unique look with the tank top and jeans, plus he rarely does promos, so that's going to hold him back. Unless WWE changes the type of guys they really want to push, he's probably not going to break through at any point. Harper will still have a solid WWE career as a midcard heel that can be put in a top or perhaps win the IC Title again. He may have some midcard singles feud where he puts over a babyface wrestler (like Dean Ambrose a few months back), but other than that he'll probably be used sparingly in the next six months until his partner is back to help him win some tag team gold.
