Opinion: Roster moves that will freshen up WWE

BONUS: Lars Sullivan to SmackDown

Lars is ready for a main-roster call-up.

Sullivan seems to have run his course in NXT.

He's not going to win the NXT title but maybe the North American Championship could be in his future. The main reason to move him up, however, is the influx of talent that's coming to NXT proper in the very near future.

Punishment Martinez has already debuted at an NXT Live event. He'll be another monster heel that can take Sullivan's place in NXT. Guys like Keith Lee, Matt Riddle, EC3, Velveteen Dream and Adam Cole will always be ahead of him in the pecking order.

And with the turn to 2019, several other names might potentially be added to the yellow brand.

Sullivan to Smackdown gives the blue brand a monster heel. Samoa Joe is sort of that right now, but he's more the technical, mat-based monster as opposed to the monster heel that Sullivan portrays.

They could even turn Joe face at some point and have the two feud.

The point is that Lars has been in NXT long enough and more could be awaiting him on the main roster. Maybe he debuts in the Royal Rumble?
