10 WWE Superstars who were legitimately hurt in the ring  

#4 Lars Sullivan

Lars Sullivan could return soon

One Superstar WWE had huge plans for was Lars Sullivan. At first, his mental health issues delayed his main-roster debut and also cost him a match against John Cena at WrestleMania (where he could’ve won). When Sullivan finally arrived on RAW, he squashed several Superstars -- Kurt Angle, for instance.

It seemed like WWE didn't have a storyline ready for Sullivan because they added him in a feud against The Lucha House Party. He defeated them on RAW but hours later, rumors emerged that the former NXT Superstar suffered a knee injury.

Fans (and even WWE) expect him to return soon but his body is recovering much slower than thought. But he should be able to return soon. Here's what Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter said about Sullivan's injury and his return.

“Another name who should be ready but whose future is uncertain is Lars Sullivan. Sullivan underwent knee reconstruction surgery in June, so should be ready fairly soon. His name hasn’t been mentioned at all of late.”
