It has been close to two months since Lars Sullivan's WWE main roster call-up was scrapped amid reports of a pre-Raw anxiety attack and SmackDown no-show, sparking widespread concern on the former NXT monster's mental health.

Concrete updates have been few and far between since then. A series of ambiguous tweets, including on that suggested Lars had gone AWOL, raised further concern at the end of January, but a new report from Pro Wrestling Sheet brought brighter news yesterday.

Per Ryan Satin's sources, Sullivan is "in a good place" after everything that went down earlier in the year. He sought professional help after January's anxiety attack, and WWE have been "incredibly accommodating the whole time," helping the 30-year-old through his health struggles.

Those close to Lars claim he feels better off out of the spotlight at the moment. He's happy for the NXT call-ups that have joined the main roster in his absence, though it's unclear whether or not he'll ever return to the company. That's disappointing from a fan's perspective, but his mental health is the obvious priority here, and it's great to hear that Sullivan is in a better place.
