Vignettes for Lars Sullivan are airing on WWE television, and it has everyone wondering how WWE will use the big man on the man roster. Greg DeMarco has an idea that he believes could work!

Before we get started, I need to make one thing clear: I am a huge Lars Sullivan fan in the ring. He offers something that NXT didn’t have when he first showed up–a monster. Can that work on the main roster? I think it can, but there’s a lot that needs to “go right.”

What are those things? Well…

• He needs to be protected.
• He can’t be fed to Brock Lesnar.
• He can’t work on the same show as Braun Strowman…yet.

So what’s the answer? Well, that answer is simple.

But first, I need to address the elephant in the room. If Lars Sullivan believes the things he’s been caught saying online, then he needs to reevaluate his standing on racial relations in this country, and the world as a whole. Until he gets that right, he cannot be successful in WWE.

McMahon Muscle

Sounds cliche? Not really–when was the last time we really had the McMahon’s use someone as muscle? Big Show? Seth Rollins, a charge of The Authority, doesn’t count as he was a champion and booked like your typical championship caliber performer.

Muscle is something different, and Lars Sullivan is the perfect muscle for Shane McMahon OR Stephanie McMahon. Which one? Well the best answer, in theory, is BOTH.

I’m not saying he work on both brands at the same time, but he can start on one and then move to the other. Remember, you book backwards.

And if you’re booking backwards (and you should be), the end result for me is Lars Sullivan working on WWE Smackdown as the muscle for Shane McMahon.

But how do you get there?

An injury to Braun Strowman might open the door for a great way to introduce Lars Sullivan.

Standing in for Braun Strowman

We all know Braun Strowman is hurt, and probably had surgery by the time you’ve read this. It isn’t known if he’ll miss his TLC match against Baron Corbin, but for the sake of my argument, I am saying he let him have time off to heal.

Why? Because we have Lars!

It’s simple, really. As we head towards TLC, the vignettes for Lars continue, he can even show up on Raw and Smackdown, in the same week, but only be backstage to meet with Shane and Stephanie. You see, he’s such a big deal, he only deals with the McMahons, not acting Raw General Manager Baron Corbin or Smackdown General Manager Paige.

The week before TLC, Baron Corbin is calling for Stephanie to declare him the winner at TLC since Braun cannot compete, giving him official authority as the Raw General Manager. Stephanie reveals that she has another idea.

And that idea…is Lars.

Lars Sullivan defeats Baron Corbin in his main roster debut, sealing his fate, and allowing Stephanie McMahon to name Alexa Bliss as Raw General Manager.

Free Agent Lars Sullivan

Surprising news is given to Alexa by Stephanie after she’s named GM. She needs to sign Lars! Lars signed a one match contract with Stephanie to fight Baron, believing that he could increase his contractual value with a win–which is exactly what he got.

So now Lars is playing coy with his contract talks, and has still only wrestled one match on the main roster. This also gives him time to wrap up his feud with Keith Lee in NXT.

Shane McMahon is already teasing a feud with The Miz, one that is expected to solidify Miz as a babyface. What better way to do that than to have Shane McMahon defeat The Miz in a one-on-one match at the Royal Rumble thanks t interference from Lars Sullivan.

And then the following Tuesday, it’s made official: Lars Sullivan is on Smackdown, and is Shane McMahon’s personal insurance policy.

That checks all the “boxes” I created above:

• Protected? Check.
• Not fed to Lesnar? Check.
• Not on the same show as Braun? Check.

It also furthers the issues between Shane and Stephanie, advances the animosity between Smackdown and Raw.

It’s the perfect balance, it’s a great story, and it ends as it should–with Lars Sullivan as a heel, aligned with a heat magnet in a heel Shane McMahon, on away from Braun Strowman on WWE Smackdown.

What do you think? Can Lars Sullivan become Shane McMahon’s muscle on Smackdown?
