Details on Why Luke Harper Missed Smackdown Shows in South America

Luke Harper’s early departure from the Smackdown tour of South America just before the weekend wasn’t due anything negative. Quite the opposite, in fact. PWInsider reports that Harper’s departure from the tour after Thursday’s show in Lima, Peru was due to his wife going into early labor. The two welcomed a son into the world, according to the site.

Harper is reportedly scheduled for TV tapings this week. On behalf of 411, congratulations to the family on their addition.
