Ups...

5. The Freak Finally Debuts

Well, it looks like Lars Sullivan is finally ready to rejoin WWE.

The supposed centerpiece of the December NXT call-ups never debuted previously, despite numerous vignettes touting him as a highly sought-after free agent, because of anxiety. He took time off to deal with his mental health issues and supposedly had an open door to return to the company.

Monday, Sullivan made his return to WWE, coming out and attacking retired Kurt Angle with a Freak Accident and diving headbutt (really wish they’d retire that move permanently). Just like that, Lars earned a chorus of boos, looking intimidating as he did.

We’ll see how the coming weeks go with Sullivan, but as debuts go, this wasn’t that bad if you wanted to have a heel who is mercilessly booed (and not like Baron Corbin is booed).
