WWE NXT Prospect Dylan Miley Given New Ring Name

The name Lars Sullivan may loom large in the WWE very soon.
That’s the new ring name for WWE NXT prospect Dylan Miley, a 6-foot-3, close to 300-pound former football player and powerlifter turned wrestler. He signed a development deal in 2013 and made his NXT in-ring debut at WrestleMania Axxess in 2015.
Miley made his WWE NXT television debut last month, and now he’s been given the new name of Lars Sullivan. He has been on the road with NXT touring over the past several weeks. Now that WWE is starting to develop his character, he’s on an impressive winning streak and hasn’t been pinned or submitted all year.

Sullivan was formerly paired up with Braun Strowman in developmental, prior to Strowman joining the Wyatt Family on the main roster. Triple H is said to be quite high on Sullivan, and judging by how he is being positioned in NXT at the moment, he could be someone the WWE sees giving a large main roster push to at some point.
Now that he’s had his first NXT television match, Lars Sullivan is already looking ahead to next April:
