WWE SmackDown: 3 Potential Outcomes for Luke Harper vs. AJ Styles
WWE.com
1. Could Bray Wyatt Go Head-to-Head with His Former Follower?
This is probably the most-likely scenario, and it allows Bray Wyatt to tell the best story. If Luke Harper wins, all of Wyatt’s potential on the mic could be unleashed.
Other than a brief period when the entire Wyatt Family split, and some other times when Harper was out with injury, Harper has followed Wyatt since their debut in 2013. He has listened. He has obeyed. He has carried out Wyatt’s orders. He has sacrificed his own health for the sake of Wyatt’s. Yet, when Randy Orton joined The Wyatt Family, Harper felt that he couldn’t trust him, but Wyatt didn’t want to hear it. Harper felt betrayed, and it built tension between him and Orton. Until recently, when Harper split from The Wyatt Family.

Since then, Harper has tried to enact revenge, coming up short against Orton in a one-on-one match at Elimination Chamber. There have been some minor successes for Harper, but he’s looking to deal a big blow. What could be better than taking Wyatt’s title on The Grandest Stage of Them All?
Even better, Harper could rub it in Orton’s face as well. Leading up to the match, he could point out that the match wouldn’t be happening if Orton didn’t forfeit his title shot.
It could cause a breakup for Wyatt and Orton, making Orton want to get back in the title match, or, Wyatt could request Orton get back in to play the numbers game.
Either way, a Triple Threat Match for these three could be one to remember. Orton and Harper had a great match at Elimination Chamber, and Wyatt has been at the top of his game recently.

Harper is probably going to win his match with Styles. If he does, the WWE Universe will be in for some classic storytelling.
