9 Current WWE stars you didn't know battled mental health issues

#6 Lars Sullivan

Sullivan is an intimidating sight

He might be one of the bigger and tougher-looking members of the WWE roster, but mental health issues follow no script and do not discriminate when it comes to size, shape or any other attribute.

Lars Sullivan was considered to be NXT’s homegrown monster for many months and was set to burst onto the scene on the main roster in a massive way. He was due to begin a feud with WWE legend John Cena, which would have eventually led to a match with the sixteen-time world champion on the Grandest Stage of Them All, Wrestlemania.

But, before he made his scheduled appearance on the January 14th episode of Monday Night Raw in 2019, Lars Sullivan reportedly walked out of the arena due to a severe anxiety attack.

He would return several months later, attacking Kurt Angle (who had been unceremoniously retired in a match by Baron Corbin the previous night) but would soon incur a serious knee injury that would keep him out of action for months.

At the time of this writing, he is yet to make his WWE return.
