Just a reminder of wrestlers that we haven’t seen in a while or that have very minimal screen time:
Big Show
Bo Dallas
Bray Wyatt
Curtis Axel
Fandango
Goldust
Heath Slater
Jason Jordan
Kane
Kevin Owens
Konnor
Sami Zayn
Titus O’Neil
Tyler Breeze
Viktor
Harper
Alexander Wolfe
Epico Colon
Eric Young
Killian Dain
Primo Colon
Sin Cara
Tye Dillinger
Most of them will surely be in the Andre the Giant Battle Royal. I don’t know the status on Bray.
Bray is not injured. He appeared on some house shows (unless he re-injured). I was shocked they did not use the baseball stadium to re-debut him. His entrance would have been very hot.
The line on Bray Wyatt that I’ve seen numerous times is that they’re “waiting for the right creative” to get him back in the mix. Not sure how standard that line is once an injured guy is cleared, or if it’s actually true.
My buddy who came to watch the Rumble asked - where’s the dude with the lantern who loses every time I watch a ppv with you guys?
(My friend watches 5 ppvs a year with us)
Just a few names we haven’t seen in a while for different reasons:
Jinder Mahal
Liv Morgan
Ruby Riott
Alicia Fox
Lana
Eric Young
Epico and Primo
Bobby Lashley
EC3
Drew McIntyre
Usos
Naomi
The Ascension
Mojo
No Way Jose
Tamina
Nia Jax
Lars Sullivan
Sin Cara
Asuka
Kairi Sane
Mickie James
Sarah Logan (is on main event)
Drew McIntyre was in the King of the Ring. Given he lost in the first round, it makes sense for him not to be involved until the conclusion of the tournament.
I think for a lot of them, we know why they are not there.
Akam
Austin Theory (suspended apparently)
Jinder Mahal
Rezar (injured)
Robert Roode
Becky Lynch
Charlotte Flair
Bo Dallas
Elias (injured)
Jaxson Ryker
Jimmy Uso (injured)
Lars Sullivan
Mojo Rawley
Roman Reigns (isolating)
Sami Zayn (isolating)
Steve Cutler
Wesley Blake
Xavier Woods (still recovering)
Carmella
Ember Moon (still recovering)
Brendan Vink
Dominik Dijakovic
Mansoor
Pete Dunne (still in England)
Rinku and Saurav (They disappeared with their manager)
Zack Gibson
James Drake
Chelsea Green (99% part of retribution)
Vanessa Borne (99% part of retribution)
Xia Li (she has been seen behind the plexi glass)
Malcolm Bivens (he disappeared with his tag team ?)
Ariya Daivari
The Brian Kendrick
Samir Singh
Sunil Singh
A lot of these should be released because they’re never going to be used in a way that matters and they’re not going to be much of an asset to other promotions but good for the wrestlers I guess.
