As PWMania.com previously reported, Lars Sullivan spoke to Fightful.com about his release from WWE. Sullivan cited anxiety issues and how he struggled to eat and sleep during the days that Smackdown was being taped.
Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer provided some additional details about what happened with Sullivan:
“He was going to get a push, a real big push as a matter of fact, and he could not handle the pressure. He had an anxiety attack, he was suffering even before. Then he stopped coming, kept not coming, and at that point, this has happened before.”
“He was supposed to beat John Cena at the 2019 WrestleMania and he no-showed the angle where he was going to layout Cena to set up the angle.”
“They brought him back a second time with a big push, he got the knee injury. They brought him back a 3rd time with a big push, he stopped coming. At that point, I think it was inevitable how it was going to end up.”
