WWE Live event Santiago results 5th October, 2016 - Luke Harper returns
After being out of action for nearly seven months due to a dislocated Patella and a torn MPFL ligament, Luke Harper made a huge return at the live event held at Santiago on the 5th of October.
Harper got injured in a RAW dark match just before Wrestlemania 32 and had to miss out on Mania due to a ‘freak’ leg injury. It has to be noted that Luke Harper was not drafted to either brand during the WWE Draft. Thus, there was some uncertainty about where Harper would end up post his return.
Harper has been reported to be backstage on Raw for the past few weeks and it can now almost be confirmed that Harper would be joining the RAW roster imminently. Although Luke Harper has not been advertised for the 10th and 17th October episodes of RAW and RAW live events, he might make an unexpected TV return in the coming weeks.
Following are the other results from the live event held at Santiago on 5th October:
1- Goldust, R-Truth, Enzo Amore and Big Cass Vs The Shinning Stars, Jinder Mahal and Curtis Axel in an Eight-man tag team match
