Luke Harper made his on-screen return to WWE at Sunday night's SmackDown Live-exclusive No Mercy event, helping Bray Wyatt defeat Randy Orton in the final match of the evening.

It now appears that Harper, who has been out of action ever since this past March due to injury, will officially be part of the SmackDown Live brand.

Harper had initially returned to WWE during the company's recent South American tour, teaming with WWE Universal Champion Kevin Owens against Seth Rollins and Sami Zayn at a live event in Santiago, Chile.
