Professional wrestling career

WWE

Training (2013–2017)

Miley was reported to have signed with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) as early as October 2013.[3] He initially trained under Bobby Lashley, who recommended him to WWE.[4] He was noted as having reported to the WWE Performance Center by October 2014, and made his professional wrestling debut in a showcase match at WrestleMania Axxess prior to WrestleMania 31 in March 2015, defeating Marcus Louis.[5] He then made sporadic appearances at NXT live events over the following two years.

NXT (2017–2018)

Miley made his television debut on the April 12, 2017 episode of NXT, teaming with Michael Blais in a loss to #DIY. Following the match, Miley attacked Blais.[6] In May 2017, he adopted the ring name Lars Sullivan. After several similar tag team appearances which resulted in him attacking his partner, Sullivan made his first appearance as a singles performer on the August 23 episode of NXT, attacking No Way Jose before a scheduled match.[7] His first televised singles match and victory took place on the September 6 episode of NXT, defeating three men in a three-on-one handicap match.[8]

Following weeks of squash matches, Kassius Ohno asked General Manager William Regal for a match against Sullivan at NXT TakeOver: WarGames on the November 8 episode,[9] which Sullivan won.[10] In December, Sullivan was involved in a tournament to determine NXT Champion Andrade "Cien" Almas' opponent for NXT TakeOver: Philadelphia. On the December 20 episode of NXT, Sullivan defeated Roderick Strong to advance to the tournament finals.[11] The following week, he was unsuccessful in a No. 1 Contender's fatal four-way match also involving Killian Dain, Aleister Black, and Johnny Gargano.[12]

At NXT TakeOver: New Orleans, Sullivan took part in a six-man ladder match to determine the inaugural NXT North American Champion. The match, also featuring Dain, EC3, Ricochet, and Velveteen Dream, was won by Adam Cole.[13] On the May 16 episode of NXT, Sullivan attacked both Dream and Ricochet during their match.[14] The following week, he defeated both men in a handicap match.[15]

On the May 30 episode of NXT, Sullivan revealed that he would challenge NXT Champion Aleister Black for his championship at NXT TakeOver: Chicago II.[16] He was unsuccessful in his challenge. It also marked his first loss via pinfall in NXT.[17]

Main roster (2018–present)

On November 18, during the Survivor Series kickoff show, vignettes aired for Sullivan's main roster debut.[18] Throughout the next several weeks, vignettes aired on both Raw and SmackDown to hype Sullivan's debut, with the commentators remarking that both brands were attempting to sign Sullivan.

On January 14, Miley was scheduled to appear on Raw, alongside other NXT superstars but allegedly walked out during the program, citing an anxiety attack.[19] On the April 8 episode of Raw, Sullivan made his official main roster debut by attacking Kurt Angle. On the April 9 episode of SmackDown, Sullivan would attack Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy after they won the SmackDown Tag Team Titles from The Usos.

On the April 15 episode of Raw, Sullivan attacked Rey Mysterio after Mysterio attacked Elias after being drafted to Raw during the 2019 Superstar Shakeup.
