WWE News: Bad update on Luke Harper's injury, lengthy lay-off on the cards
Luke Harper’s injury forced the WWE to pull the star from this weekend’s live events and it seems the former Intercontinental Champion is set to be sidelined for a lengthy timeframe. Harper suffered a knee injury in the dark match after the recent RAW in Philadelphia went off air.
WWE hasn’t come out to confirm the seriousness of his injury, but there has been a considerable backstage buzz at the recent live event at Madison Square Garden regarding his injury.
Word is that Harper’s injury is even more serious than previously imagined and it could see him miss out on in-ring action for a minimum of 5-6 months. According to PWInsider, Harper may have suffered a torn ACL and the prescribed rehab time for the same is said to be around 6 months. A Summerslam return is what’s on the cards if he is forced out of action due to the injury.
As a result of this, Harper could be pulled from all future live events and storylines involving the Wyatts at WrestleMania and beyond. The injury woes for the WWE seems to be a never-ending phenomenon with Harper being the latest to be hit by the bug.
WWE is expected to issue a statement on the same soon that would give the fans an idea of the status of Harper. We’ll keep you updated on the same.
