9. Lars Sullivan

With no precedent set for how and why NXT call-ups are plucked from their Full Sail safe space, Lars Sullivan may yet debut any day now on WWE television, but it's fairly safe to assume that the company won't be booking him against John Cena at WrestleMania - not this year anyway.

Lars had been given an old school start to his new life on the main roster at the end of 2018. Vignettes featuring the big bad b*stard were designed to strike fear in the hearts of future foes, but Sullivan sadly had real life concerns of his own that required his attention before he could turn any storyline rage on opponents.

Allegedly set to debut on January 14th, Sullivan instead left the building completely following an apparent anxiety attack. He sought professional help in the aftermath and has since been said to be in superior condition mentally than he was ahead of his grand arrival. WWE, to their credit for now at least, dropped any further mention of his name with the possible view to restoring his aura when he's eventually in a stable enough condition to compete.
