Shortly after WWE announced it had released Sin Cara from his WWE contract, the company confirmed on Sunday afternoon that former Intercontinental and tag team champion Luke Harper had also been granted his release. Harper, real name Jonathan Huber, was originally signed to a WWE developmental deal in 2012 and was introduced as a member of the Wyatt Family. Harper would join group-leader Bray Wyatt and Erick Rowan in their jump to the main roster, and would have his own singles run before quickly rejoining the group. He and Rowan were eventually repackaged as the Bludegeon Brother, but their run as a dominant heel team had to be sidelined when Rowan went down with an injury.

WWE confirmed the release via a statement on WWE.com. Harper requested his release back in April but was initially denied.
