12 Wrestlers Who Want To Quit WWE
4. Luke Harper
A serious injury to tag partner Rowan prompted (Luke) Harper to decide to undergo much-needed hand surgery last fall, necessitating a six-month absence. He returned to televised action over WrestleMania weekend, first besting NXT prospect Dominik Dijackovic at Axxess' Worlds Collide event, then quietly sliding into the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.
Nine days later, Harper requested his WWE release. An earnest Twitter post saw him thank the fans for their support during his six-year journey, noting that while it was a difficult decision, it "felt right for myself and WWE."
The reasons behind Harper's choice are yet to come out. It's easy to draw conclusions, though. Vince McMahon was all in on the Bludgeon Brothers' push prior to Rowan's injury, but didn't do anything with Harper when he was cleared to return. Creative had nothing for him, and he was left to rot while his former partner found a new role by former WWE Champion Daniel Bryan's side.
A three-dimensional big man who made the most of every fleeting opportunity, Harper is a potential upper-midcard asset to any company. His WWE deal expires in November 2018.
