10 Next Big Things Currently On WWE's Books

Another big star the company may be sitting on is Lars Sullivan—this time with an emphasis on the “big” part.

Sullivan, a former football player, is billed at 6’3” and 285lbs, but somehow those numbers don’t do enough to properly convey his true size. The dude is built like an absolute tank, barrel-chested and with legs like tree trunks.

So far, most of his outings on NXT television have been in tag team action. Admittedly, those tag matches all ended with defeat, but he’s been fairly well-protected on each occasion. It seems the gimmick is that his partner always takes the pinfall, only for Sullivan to let out his frustration on his unfortunate partner. It certainly puts him over him as a monster heel, though that can arguably be achieved just by looking at the guy. Most recently, he featured on the pre-tapes ahead of NXT Takeover: Brooklyn, attacking No Way José to suggest the company has something planned for him.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, he’s earned comparisons to Brock Lesnar for both his size and his strength and so naturally, the “next big thing” tagline is bound to follow Sullivan around.

Oh, and for whatever it’s worth, he also has massive hands. Like, freakishly massive hands… good for grabbing that brass ring, right?

I’ll see myself out.
