After more than a year away, Luke Harper made a surprise showing at tonight’s WWE Clash of Champions pay-per-view, coming to aid of his old tag team partner Erick Rowan during a high profile No Disqualification match against Roman Reigns.
During the wild bout the action spilled all over the arena in Charlotte, North Carolina, finally arriving back on the stage where the “Big Dog” delivered a super-sized Superman Punch. He then lined up for potentially his biggest spear ever, using the full length of the entrance ramp, but ran straight into the boot of Harper, who had appeared as if out of nowhere.
Outside of the battle royale at WrestleMania 35 and a single appearance at a Worlds Collide event during that weekend, Harper hasn’t been seen on WWE television since shortly after SummerSlam 2018. He underwent wrist surgery but has been cleared to return since February, and actually asked for his release from the company in April.
