The heart of the matter

Dylan Miley is one of the best talents in the WWE’s developmental branch NXT. In a recent event held by NXT in St. Petersburg, Miley was introduced as Lars Sullivan and his Twitter handle was also changed to ‘LarsWWE’.

Miley or Lars Sullivan, as he is now known, is considered to be the next Brock Lesnar and has impressed ‘The Beast Incarnate’ so much, that he earned a one-on-one training session with Lesnar himself. Sullivan recently made an appearance on NXT TV in April when he and Michael Richard Blaze lost to DIY.

After the match, an angry Sullivan beat up his tag partner.

This raises various questions regarding why the WWE have decided to change Miley’s in-ring name. Is it because they want to give him a fresh new look? Or could the WWE be preparing to bring him up to the big leagues?

What’s next?

With Sullivan’s obvious in-ring talent and physique, it is easy to believe that the WWE are looking to give the 28-year-old a huge push. The young wrestler is being hailed as the next ‘big thing’ and the next ‘Brock Lesnar’ and with Vince McMahon’s obsession with big-bodied heels, it won’t be surprising to see him come up to the main roster sometime soon.

Author’s take

Dylan Miley or Lars Sullivan is one of the most talented individuals in the WWE today.

He has received the support and the praise of many great WWE Superstars, including his close friend Sasha Banks and the man whose position he is supposed to inherit, Brock Lesnar.

With the ability he possesses in the ring and on the mic, it will come as no surprise to anybody in the WWE Universe if he succeeds in the main roster sometime in the near future.
