Examining the potential of five announced NXT call-ups

#2 Lars Sullivan

The Freak will likely tackle the Monster and the Beast at some point on the main roster.

Before WWE advertised that six wrestlers from NXT would be joining the main roster in the new year, Sullivan had many vignettes hyping his debut.

He was touted as a free agent and both Smackdown and Raw were vying for his services.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

He made references to the Monster (Braun Strowman) and the Beast (Lesnar) alluding to the fact that he might cross paths with either at some point.

Several reports have suggested that Lars will be given a huge push upon debut and many chances to succeed.

He'll likely be given the Strowman treatment when he first debuted, holding the mystique of an unstoppable force of the Wyatt Family.

Sullivan will probably attack a bunch of beloved babyfaces regardless of the show he goes to. He might even debut in the Royal Rumble and eliminate a bunch of superstars.

Smackdown could use him more, but they could put him on Raw. Vince loves his monsters and Sullivan is the latest monster. He's big, athletic and freakishly strong.

Will Sullivan live up to the hype?
