Luke Harper Discusses Injury Update, WWE Brand Extension, Conor McGregor's Recent Comments

WWE Superstar Luke Harper recently took part in an interview with Chad Dukes from CBS Radio and ChadDukesWrestling.com, where he discussed a few different subjects. Below are highlights:

Status Update Regarding his Knee Injury

"I feel really good, actually I just started moving a little bit better and made a few check marks in the rehab category that were long due. So I’m happy, I’m happy right now."

WWE's Recent Brand Extension

"I think the brand split is a beautiful thing. It opens up opportunities for everybody up and down the card. You look at a September show, where it will be a SmackDown only pay-per-view. That means from the roster of SmackDown only, you’re going to draw eight matches to fill three hours. In my first three years in WWE that’s unheard of. You don’t get that opportunity. So to me it’s an opportunity."

Conor McGregor's Recent Comments Targeting WWE Superstars

"I mean here’s the thing when he comes and works for WWE, can I call him a pu**y? How does that work? Sure, he’s a smart businessman, he knows exactly what he needed to do to drum up a little interest, but my man blew his biggest payday known to man in MMA at [UFC 200] and a professional wrestler had to come and pick up his scraps and save the show. Business is business, but he doesn’t understand my world and fairly, I don’t understand his. So for what he said, he said something off the cuff at an interview, that I’ve probably done already today, maybe, we’ll find out in a couple days, he said what he had to say, absolutely fine, much respect, he said it off the cuff, but it’s very measured and he knows what he’s doing. At the same time as a man in our business, it’s offensive. You’re calling us all pu**ies. You’re saying line up and I’ll slap each one of you. I think Big E said it best, ‘How do you want us to line up, sir?’ How do you want us to line up so you can slap the sh*t out of us? You tell us. He can do what he needs to do, but if he comes up to me and slaps me, then we’ll have a go. That’s the end of it."
