With the recent and past controversies surrounding Lars Sullivan, the expectations were that WWE won’t be pushing him, but his booking in the past few weeks on the Blue brand suggests otherwise. On the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer reported that Lars Sullivan is the only guy that Vince McMahon and higher-ups want to elevate right now.
Lars Sullivan to possibly undergo a name change soon?
It can be observed in Lars Sullivan’s recent appearance on SmackDown that the commentators are referring to him as The Freak more often than his actual ring name. It was done to such an extent that fans almost started complaining about it because of the overkill of calling him The Freak.
It was then reported that the reason why WWE is doing that could be because of a possible name change in the near future for Lars Sullivan. Dave Meltzer noted the following:
This is not the first time when WWE has decided to push Lars Sullivan. He was supposed to debut on an episode of RAW in January 2019 but reportedly walked out after having an anxiety attack. As per rumors, the original plans were for him to have a feud with John Cena, but that also did not materialize.
His main roster debut was still pretty impactful as he went on to attack several WWE legends like Kurt Angle, Rey Mysterio, and others. Before getting injured last year, Lars Sullivan was feuding against The Lucha House Party.
