WWE NXT monster Lars Sullivan has gone missing in action right when it seemed he was in line to become a big star, according to Dave Meltzer on Sunday during Wrestling Observer Radio. He and Bryan Alvarez were recapping this weekend’s NXT TV tapings in Atlanta which will carry most of the televised programming leading up to NXT Takeover: New Orleans on WrestleMania weekend, and said Sullivan was mysteriously absent.
“There’s something going on and I don’t know the answer to this question. The original main event for New Orleans…I don’t know this 100 percent but [I’m sure] 90 percent [the main event] was gonna be Andrade against Lars Sullivan,” Meltzer said, “Lars Sullivan has disappeared off the face of the Earth. He was not at any of the tapings. At the last set of tapings they announced a number 1 contenders match with Lars and Killian Dane and it ended up being Aleister Black and Killian Dane. Aleister Black is gonna get the shot so I don’t know what happened. Lars Sullivan wasn’t at the tapings, he wasn’t at the house shows this weekend, I’m not sure when he last wrestled but something’s going on there.”
