WWE News: Latest update on Lars Sullivan ahead of the Royal Rumble
What's the story?
With the Royal Rumble pay-per-view set to begin in a few hours from now, an update on Lars Sullivan has been posted on social media by what seems like a tweet which has been sent out by Sullivan's management team.
In case you didn't know...
At last year's Tables, Ladders, and Chairs pay-per-view, WWE revealed that the walking behemoth of NXT, that is, Lars Sullivan would be making his main roster debut. However, Sullivan is yet to make his debut despite WWE hyping him up with several vignettes week in and week out.
In a recent update from The Wrestling Observer, it was noted that Sullivan reportedly suffered an anxiety attack while being backstage on Raw and in the process, his debut has been further delayed by WWE.
WWE COO, Triple H also provided another update on Sullivan, claiming that "Lars is in a good place" during a conference call in the build-up to the recently concluded NXT TakeOver: Phoenix.
The heart of the matter
Ever since WWE announced Lars Sullivan's promotion to the main roster, fans have been eagerly waiting for the former NXT star to eventually show up on the main roster. However, due to a series of unfortunate events, Sullivan's debut has been delayed and there is nothing much WWE could do with a situation like this.
However, in a recent update on Twitter, it has been confirmed that Sullivan indeed went missing a few weeks ago but is now in a better place and wants every one of his fans to know that he is truly sorry to disappoint everyone regarding his delayed debut on the main roster.
The tweet as one can see below is clearly been posted by one of Lars Sullivan's close acquaintance, who has been finally able to get hold of Sullivan and has seemingly been able to contact him as well.
What's next?
Mental health is definitely a very sensitive matter and is an issue which is not to be taken lightly. However, I'm pretty sure the WWE Universe will be more than happy to know that Sullivan is now a better place and is likely to be feeling a lot better.
With the Royal Rumble PPV starting in a few hours, could it be possible for Lars Sullivan to finally make his main roster debut by entering the 30-man Rumble? After all, quite a few spots are still open!
