It is hard to argue against Lars Sullivan being possibly the most powerful wrestler on NXT in the past few years. With a combination of his strength and speed, Sullivan has unsurprisingly been on the losing end very few times and will be taking this momentum onto the main shows to possibly be the next Strowman-type character.

When he was announced as a confirmed wrestler on the main show back at Survivor Series last year, it has shown that Sullivan’s call up as a when rather than an if, and a good display at the Royal Rumble would be the perfect opportunity to display his dominance. Even better, getting the most eliminations on the actual night would be making a strong statement as he joins the main roster.
