Lars Sullivan made his return to WWE last week on SmackDown. He had been out of action due to knee surgery, but he seemed to take longer than others with similar injuries have been gone.
The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that there was actually an issue with Sullivan’s knee that slowed his healing, which is why he had been out for so long.
The report stated that the area became infected at one point. Sullivan had been ready for some time prior to this and WWE waited until the Draft to bring him back.
