5 notable absentees from the Survivor Series card this year
Survivor Series 2018 is less than a week away, and the match-card is already being finalised. The only thing left for WWE now is to fill in the final spot of SmackDown Live women's team in the traditional Survivor Series elimination match.
The Universal Champion, Brock Lesnar, will take on the newly crowned WWE Champion Daniel Bryan. RAW women's champion, Ronda Rousey, will take on Charlotte Flair, the replacement of SmackDown Live women's champion Becky Lynch.
The Intercontinental Champion, Seth Rollins, will take on the United States Champion Shinsuke Nakamura. RAW tag team champions Authors Of Pain will battle their SmackDown counterpart, The Bar.
Also, three traditional Survivor Series elimination matches are scheduled for the event's main card. The Cruiserweight Championship match between the champion, Buddy Murphy, and the challenger, Mustafa Ali, will be in the kick-off show, and is the only championship match of the night.
Even though the card looks good, many big names are missing from the list. Part-timers like John Cena, The Undertaker, and Triple H are not going to the Staples Centre.
However, many full-time workers who should have been a part of the event are also going to miss it. On this list, we take a look at five top superstars who will miss Survivor Series 2018.
#5 Roman Reigns
There are no words to describe this. If everything had gone according to the plan, Roman Reigns would have been the Universal Champion heading into this PPV.
However, due to an unfortunate turn of events, Reigns had to relinquish his Universal title and take a hiatus from WWE. We may not see Reigns compete for a few months.
