5 wrestling rumors we hope are true and 5 we hope aren't: Big stipulation for Randy Orton vs Edge at WrestleMania 37, WWE planning match for Roman Reigns against 2 returning legends?

#2. Hope is true: Why WWE is planning to elevate Lars Sullivan

When talking about Lars Sullivan, WWE fans wonder why the company has put up with him for so long. It's been controversy after controversy, and after the recent discovery of inappropriate online activity, there was speculation as to whether WWE was done with Lars Sullivan.

Not only is that not the case, but it seems to be quite the opposite. Lars Sullivan stayed on SmackDown in the WWE Draft and has spent week after week destroying one Superstar or the other.

As for plans to elevate Superstars, there is only one who WWE is looking at, as per Dave Meltzer on the Wrestling Observer Radio. Meltzer said that since there's nobody else right now, WWE is reportedly looking to elevate Lars Sullivan:

“I mean there’s nobody, I mean nobody, but when you’re talking about one guy that they’re elevating: Lars Sullivan. That’s the guy.”

We hope this is true, not because of Lars Sullivan himself, but because it's the only logical move for WWE to make. However, he needs to stay out of trouble.
