Big E says if the allegations made against SmackDown Live’s Lars Sullivan are true, he should be prepared to be labeled as a bigot in a company that is full of minority workers.
Big E responded to a fan comment about allegations made against Lars Sullivan, who allegedly made racist and homophobic remarks on a bodybuilding forum many years ago. The remarks have been made public in the past, and they have resurfaced again after a post on Reddit started to gain some more traction this week. A fan asked Big E how it felt to be working with a racist, and Big E responded with the following:
Many are aware. If true, he has to bear the albatross of being a bigot & working in a company that is now filled with minorities.

Sullivan (Dylan Miley) was called up to the WWE main roster earlier this year, and was designated to the SmackDown Live brand in the Superstar Shake-Up. He appeared on last night’s show, attacking Matt Hardy and R-Truth, although now he’ll also be featured on RAW as part of the new ‘Wild Card Rule’. The posts in question were made by two accounts dating back to 2013 and earlier. One post from ‘elperfecto’ appears to confirm the poster was Miley after posting a photo of himself on the forum.
