As you're no doubt well aware, some forum posts from Lars Sullivan recently resurfaced containing a lot of hateful and racist comments. Big E has publicly spoken out about them on social media but Bryan Alvarez has revealed on the latest Wrestling Observer Live that the company has been aware of Sullivan's remarks for quite some time now.
"It is zero mystery in WWE that he did this," Alvarez reveals. "They knew this when they hired him. They have known this forever. They are not going to fire him. How is Lars going to react to this? I don’t know." The comments first went viral in January when he was originally set to debut so WWE may have been hoping that this would have blown over by now.
"I don’t know how he is going to respond to Big E and apparently other people in the locker room being unhappy with what he posted on the internet," Alvarez continues. "In WWE’s minds, he did this and he apologized for it. He told them that he was wrong and that he was remorseful and in their minds, it is a done deal."
We'll just have to wait and see how the situation develops.
