WWE Stomping Grounds heads your way in a couple of days on Sunday inside the Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, Washington. It is the inaugural edition of the pay per-view and will stream live on the WWE Network and on pay per-view too.

A number of high-profile matches featuring WWE's brightest stars have been set for the show. Seth Rollins will look to extend his Universal Championship reign as he squares off against Baron Corbin in a match where Corbin gets to choose a special guest referee. Kofi Kingston looks to continue his fairy-tale like WWE Championship reign as he battles within the confines of a steel cage against Dolph Ziggler.

Becky Lynch will defend her Raw Women's title against the upstart Lacey Evans. Elsewhere on the card, Roman Reigns will fight Drew Mcintyre.

The card is stacked with a myriad of talented stars, but a few will be forced to sit out of the event as they don't have a scheduled match up to now. These stars might be a part of ongoing story-lines, but it's unlikely that they'll be in line for a match at WWE Stomping Grounds.

Having said that, let's take a quick look at three of the biggest stars who don't have a match scheduled and have been left off the card for WWE Stomping Grounds.


#3 Finn Balor

Finn Balor was drafted to SmackDown Live in April as a part of the Superstar Shake-up. Balor instantly became one of the blue brand's top stars and immediately engaged in a feud with Andrade. Balor and Andrade have been going back and forth for weeks, but Balor has kept on to his coveted Intercontinental title.

The Intercontinental Champion defended his title against Andrade two weeks ago at Super Show-Down, but has seldom been seen on television since then. The same can be said about Balor's opponent, Andrade. I have a feeling that their feud is still far from over and they will certainly battle in future.

Balor's reign has been great thus far; he has brought prestige to the Intercontinental title and has every right to be on the card. WWE couldn't come up with something worthwhile for Balor to do, which is why he doesn't have a match scheduled.
