5 reasons Lars Sullivan should end up on RAW

Lars Sullivan is destined to succeed in the main roster. He has a look that spells main event monster and the physique that Vince McMahon is known to like.

We saw vignettes during Survivor Series alluding to the fact that he will show up on the main roster. It was never made clear which brand he will show up on.

Dave Meltzer has said that he's in line for a big push. While no plans are in place for him, Sullivan could become the successor to Brock Lesnar, down the line. And for this to happen, I think that he should make his debut on RAW.

Feel free to share your thoughts and opinions in the comments below. Do you agree with me or do you think he should show up on SmackDown Live instead?

I will detail why exactly I believe that he's meant for the red brand, in this particular piece.

#5 Sullivan is a credible challenger for Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar is running out of credible challengers

Brock Lesnar has been portrayed as a man who's absolutely bulletproof in all his outings. The fact of the matter is that there are few on the planet that seems like credible threats to the Beast Incarnate.

Lars Sullivan is one of the few men in all of sports entertainment that can realistically size up to the Beast Incarnate.

With Roman Reigns out of the equation, it is likely that the title picture on RAW will revolve around Lesnar for the time being.

This may even continue beyond WrestleMania, because like it or not, Lesnar is a draw. Lesnar vs. Sullivan is a money match that could have a lot of people talking.

I strongly believe that Sullivan has the tools to become a future Champion, because of his size and presence. Whether it happens against Lesnar or not, Sullivan could have a great match with the Beast Incarnate.

#4 SmackDown Live Superstars don't often get screen time

Rusev and Lana have just gone missing after One Night in Milwaukee

RAW is often criticized for being an extra hour long, and therefore it has been known to drag on. But this extra hour allows for more superstars to get screen time as compared to SmackDown Live.

Just think about the past few episodes of SmackDown Live, dear readers. So many superstars have just gone missing, haven't they?

When was the last time we saw SAnitY in a real program? Didn't Nikki Cross show up on the blue brand for a week, only to disappear to the unknown?

Rusev, Lana and Aiden English too have been lost in the mix after being the talk of town during 'One Night in Milwaukee'.

If Sullivan shows up on RAW, the show will provide screen time for his character to develop. SmackDown Live may not afford him the same luxury.

#3 RAW is a sports entertainment driven brand

Lars Sullivan isn't exactly Daniel Bryan in the ring

Lest you forget because of the quality of wrestling, NXT is actually WWE's developmental brand.

While some amazing independent stars like Adam Cole and Ricochet are setting new standards for the business, Lars Sullivan is comparatively new to sports entertainment. When he gets called up, he may need storylines to get him over. RAW's the brand for this.

SmackDown Live, while still based on sports entertainment, often relies on in-ring action over storylines.

You don't see Rollins chasing Ambrose for the entirety of the show backstage or Braun Strowman takes security guards out, once again in the backstage area. In a lot of ways, SmackDown Live is more similar to NXT than RAW.

Sullivan has grown by leaps and bounds. But he may flourish more in an entertainment-driven show, rather than in SmackDown Live.

Strowman became a great performer over time and there's no reason why Lars Sullivan can't do the same.

#2 Big men just fare much better on RAW

RAW is certainly the mythical land of the giants

When he was in NXT, everyone expected Killian Dain to be a breakout star. He moved like few others his size could and performed at the highest level against a variety of competitors. Ever since he's arrived on SmackDown Live, he's become an afterthought.

Conversely, other superstars such as Drew McIntyre and Bobby Lashley have fared well on RAW.

They are big men, and while smaller men like AJ Styles and Daniel Bryan have made SmackDown Live their home, RAW is home to the giants. Of course, who can forget the Monster Among Men, Braun Strowman?

The fact of the matter is that a big man like Lars Sullivan needs to be on a brand where giants are given their due focus. RAW is a brand much better suited for a man of his talents.

#1 RAW is just a more important brand in WWE's eyes

We all remember the whitewash at Survivor Series very well

Not long ago, RAW and SmackDown Live went to battle at Survivor Series. SmackDown Live got off to a great start when they won a match on the Kickoff Show. It seemed as if RAW would be in for a fight. And then, RAW won the proceedings comprehensively at 6-0.

We would find out that the Kickoff Show match did not count in the tally. There was no storyline payoff for RAW whitewashing SmackDown Live in the manner that they did.

The only plausible explanation is that WWE wanted to prove that RAW was the dominant brand and not SmackDown Live, this year.

Lars Sullivan would flourish in a brand that had Vince McMahon's personal attention, in my estimation. And we all know that McMahon values RAW more than he does his very own two-hour show.
