Luke Harper, Romantic Brother
In their WWE run so far, the Bludgeon Brothers have systematically dominated SmackDown’s tag division – destroying its two top teams The Usos and The New Day until they became the brand’s tag team champions at WrestleMania. Now their dominance has been asserted through short squash matches, it’s time to give the team more depth – like revealing Bludgeon Brother Luke Harper’s… more romantic side.
On this week’s episode of SmackDown, the Bludgeon Brothers were about to smash Jimmy Uso’s head in with their massive tools, when Jimmy’s real life wife Naomi ran out, pleading for them to stop. The Bludgeon Brothers showed their softer side, and menacingly walked away why eyeballing the couple.
The encounter seems to have shaken Harper from his usual Twitter routine, of posting the day of the week along with his catchphrase ‘you know what that means’ every day, as he’s very creepily tweeted Naomi using her real name Trinity:
Enjoy your evening with him Trin.

Brock Lesnar Vs Bobby Lashley Scrapped?
When Bobby Lashley was officially released from his Impact Wrestling contract on January 14th, Dave Meltzer reported that Lashley was telling people the plan was for him to go to WWE to work a program with Brock Lesnar, in a feud that would culminate at SummerSlam 2018.
Although a Royal Rumble surprise comeback was rumored, Lashley didn’t turn up in WWE until the Raw after WrestleMania – marking his official return to the company for the first time in over a decade.
In those ensuing months, Lesnar was on the predictable path of dropping his Universal Championship to Roman Reigns in the main event of WrestleMania 34 – a storyline made even more obvious by Paul Heyman continually teasing Brock would leave WWE to return to MMA, and UFC President Dana White confirming as much in interviews. It appeared that post-WrestleMania Lashley vs Lesnar feud wasn’t going to happen.
But something changed on WrestleMania week, causing Brock to sign a new contract, and retain against Reigns.
All the shock, contract details and rumored backstage fight confusion, however, has overshadowed the question: what about Lashley?
With Bobby now back in the company, and Lesnar agreeing to stay following ‘Mania 34, are WWE still planning on building a big SummerSlam feud between the two as one of the year’s main event programs?
According to the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter… no.
Meltzer writes that as of right now “there are no plans” for such a match, and he speculates that if Brock is really still going to leave for the UFC, realistically he can only put over two more people on his way out. One of those is most likely Reigns, who he’s facing at next Friday’s Greatest Royal Rumble, and Lesnar’s other loss should be used to build up a newer star – not Lashley, who – as great as he is – is 41 years old.
