WWE 5 Bold Predictions This Week: Lars Sullivan Debuts On SmackDown
1. Lars Is SmackDown’s Answer
Coming out of Survivor Series, the morale has to be low on the blue brand. SmackDown was dominated by Raw throughout the show, as they were completely shutout on the main card, 6-0. Shane McMahon went on Twitter later in the night saying it wasn’t the blue brand’s night. He also said that things will have to change around SmackDown come Tuesday.
As previously predicted, I am expecting that somebody will be fired for SmackDown’s embarrassing showing. With one going out, it is only right to bring one in. During Survivor Series, a “coming soon” vignette was shown for NXT’s Leviathan, Lars Sullivan, though the vignette didn’t specify what brand Lars will be coming too.
I am expecting that Lars will be brought in as the monster that SmackDown is truly lacking. There isn’t a real monster on the blue brand, so he would come in and become an instant force, signing as Shane McMahon’s monster could also fuel a Shane heel turn if done right. However he is booked, Sullivan will be a great addition to the SmackDown roster.
The WWE has never been afraid to show their love of big men. Lars is powerful and agile in the ring. He can also showcase his intelligence on the microphone, making him intimidating in multiple forms. Lars is a scary individual that can beat you in more ways than one. I am excited to see how the WWE books this call-up.
