Don't see it. Intercontinental/US level and Tag Team for life most likely. Not necessarily a bad thing you need some guys like that.
Guys like Wyatt, Bryan, Ziggler, Barrett, Ryback, Ambrose, Rollins and the other main event regulars are all ahead of him right now and of a similar age.
I don;t think he'll be getting a chance anytime soon.
He is the best big man they have an underrated athlete but I doubt it maybe a upper mid carder. If big show and kane would go away he could be a monster heel.
Short term, yeah. Like the role big men had with Hogan in the 80s and with Taker in the 90s.
Long term, hell no. Nothing against him but too many on that roster that will get that before him and can last. I can't see Harper's gimmick as one with main event longevity.
Anyone "could". He won't be, no, and I wouldn't make him one either cause his talking's not good enough. He'd be a strong upper midcarder but I can't go any farther.

He's one of my 3 favorites in WWE right now (the others being Bryan and Orton.) I think he could easily be a main eventer if he trimmed his beard slightly and started doing an American Badass-style biker gimmick instead of the creepy hick thing. He's one of the best and most entertaining ring workers in the company and is decent enough on the mic too. Gets the point across quickly and effectively without saying much, has decent delivery and good mannerisms (the crazy eyes are solid.)
Unfortunately he'll probably get a brief monster push around June to feud with Reigns, because Harper can carry him in the ring, and then he'll lay down for the King of Make Me Look Strong Style at Battleground or MITB.
Honestly he's my current favorite. I'm happy every time he graces my television, and yes, he absolutely has the potential to be a main eventer. All he needs is strong booking and the rest will fall into place.
Luke has to have a gimmick change first. There is only room for one hillbilly type at or near the top. Bray being younger and a better talker would seem to have that spot secured.
If Harper gets a new gimmick that clicks, who knows.
Like i think he could be another Shameus/Del Rio/Jericho post-2011 main eventer.
He needs a new look and gimmick though, and to bulk up a lil. Not sure what gimmick he has now. Prefer Harper over Bray and Rowan to be in main event status if some chanmges are made.
i used to love Bray, but his current gimmick will be old by Summerslam this year.
He just needs a gimmick/character tweak. They're gonna need people to fill the roles of Kane / Big Show / Mark Henry as the token big man heel when they retire and he's actually talented in the ring which would translate into watchable matches.
Anybody can become a main eventer if they try hard enough and want it enough :fact
