Originally this thread was about Lars being called up from NXT and heading to Raw. It's changed directions since then. - Madison
Confirmed via the kickoff

Makes sense
He was never going to win any titles in NXT and has done as much as he could down there
He needs some growth on the road and hopefully one day they do a build up for him and Braun
At worst Lars can be heavy muscle for someone because he's a thinking monster as well so it could be a good relationship depending on the person

If I were to guess, Lars will be on Raw to be Corbin's heavy to aid him against Strowman

He's clearly peaked in NXT. Had his title feud, been built good as a monster. He can put over Keith Lee and move on up.

Lars looks like a Pinky from the original DOOM game and it's wonderful.

Only if he gets to get the better of Strowman becuase getting manhandled early would be bad for him

I want him to have a Rondo Hatton gimmick when he gets called up.

Strowman/Sullivan sounds like just a classic monster match. That's gonna be dope. I approve of this.

To be blunt, I think he's kinda f***ed at the minute.
Like, I really like him, but I just don't see him fitting in to anything right now. There's a fair amount of big dudes on the main roster right now and he's kinda just another body on the pile.

Said it a couple times already, but I'd have him debut by attacking Rusev with Aiden English as his manager. Yes, I'm fully aware that SDL already has enough talent they don't use, I just think Rusev/Lars would be badass and nobody's going to buy Aiden kicking Rusev's ass on his own. Plus you'd have Killian Dain and Lars on the same brand and that's the way it should be!!

This dude is going to get bodied by Braun with the quickness.

Lars isn't ready, IMO. He needs another year at least in NXT to season himself.
It feels like another case of Vince calling up a dude just because he's big and has a look.

Has he always been The Freak? Or is this another one of those corny forced “main roster” changes like The IIconics, Ember Moon having bright red hair and AOP not having Paul Ellering?
Either way, Sullivan vs Strowman sounds amazing. Hopefully he gets a strong debut and just takes Braun clean out. I could buy it.

Ranallo usually compared him to a Monster with a scary IQ

I just hope he ends up getting a new finisher, because I'm still not big on his side slam finisher. That's like the only thing about him I don't like.

His finisher name is Freak Accident
Also while they gave Balor that long ass nick name I don't think saying the man with the body a ape and the mind of a professor can be said every week
