Harper hadn’t been used regularly on WWE TV since losing the SmackDown Tag Team Championship at Summerslam last year. He did have surgery during his time away, and returned from injury to compete at WrestleMania Axxess against Dominik Dijakovic and as a participant in the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal.
Following that, Harper requested his release but it was not granted. It’s believed that Harper’s contract was originally set to expire in November 2019, but it’s been reported that WWE will be adding six months to it due to the time missed.
