Triple H was asked to comment on the chances of Sullivan making his return. The Game said that he has not seen these videos and can't comment on Sullivan's recovery.

"I have not seen those [Lars Sullivan's workout videos]. I, to be honest, don't have an update on that."

Lars Sullivan could be a big addition to SmackDown's mid-card and possible feuds with the likes of Matt Riddle and Drew Gulak could help him become a dominant Superstar.
