Lars Sullivan is going to be out of action for awhile. He’s on the injured list with a broken jaw. He sustained the injury midway through his match with Aleister Black at Takeover: Chicago II.
The timetable to return from a broken jaw is pretty variable. A few months is a good rough estimate, however.
This is the second time in 2018 Sullivan has been out with an injury. He missed a set of TV tapings back in February due to a knee issue as well.
Lars Sullivan in WWE
29-year-old Lars Sullivan is believed to have reported to the WWE Performance Center in October of 2014. He began wrestling matches on NXT house shows in 2016 and started on television in April of 2017. There are no reports of Sullivan having worked anywhere else before being signed to WWE.
Sullivan has been protected on NXT programming. He’s wrestled 12x in single’s matches on NXT TV (not including house shows). Sulivan’s record is 9-1-1 with his only loss coming to Black at the most recent Takeover event.
Shortly after he lost the NXT championship match in Chicago, Triple H said the loss will likely make Sullivan even more dangerous. He continued to say that Sullivan will be an even more dangerous competitor once he learns from his rookie mistakes. You can check out Triple H’s interview below:
