5 WWE stars who could heartbreakingly miss WrestleMania 41
WWE WrestleMania 41 will take place next year at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. It is the company's biggest show of the year and will air live next April. The Men's and Women's Royal Rumble match winners will go to challenge for a title at The Show of Shows.
It is the dream of many stars to headline a WrestleMania event. However, several stars might not get the chance to compete on The Grandest Stage of Them All next year.
Listed below are five WWE stars who could heartbreakingly miss WrestleMania 41.
#5. Bronson Reed may not be able to compete at WWE WrestleMania 41
Bronson Reed joined Solo Sikoa's version of The Bloodline to compete alongside the faction during the Men's WarGames match at WWE Survivor Series last month. The Australian star went for a Tsunami Splash off the top of the cage, but it did not go as planned.
CM Punk pulled Roman Reigns out of the way at the last moment, and Reed had a rough landing. The former North American Champion suffered a fractured ankle during the move and could miss WrestleMania next year due to the injury.
#4. The Rock may not compete at the event next April
The Rock made a surprise appearance following the main event of WWE Bad Blood to have a staredown with Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes. Reigns and The American Nightmare had just defeated The Bloodline's Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu in a tag team match.
The Great One has not been seen since Bad Blood, and a recent report suggested that he would not be in action at WrestleMania 41. Wrestling fans have been waiting to see The Final Boss versus Roman Reigns for a long time and may have to be patient for a while longer if the dream match does not take place next April.
#3. Tonga Loa may miss WrestleMania 41
The Bloodline's Tonga Loa also suffered a major injury during the Men's WarGames match last month. Loa tore his bicep during the WarGames match at the premium live event and will be out of action for a while, possibly preventing him from competing at WrestleMania 41.
Tonga Loa and Tama Tonga had a brief reign as WWE Tag Team Champions earlier this year. Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu are the only healthy members of The Bloodline at the moment.
#2. Asuka may not be able to perform on The Grandest Stage of Them All
Asuka has not competed in a match since WWE Backlash in May. The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane) lost the Women's Tag Team Championship to Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair at the premium live event.
The Empress of Tomorrow was supposed to compete in the Queen of the Ring tournament but dropped out due to a knee injury. She still has not returned to action, and the injury could force her to miss WrestleMania 41 next year. The veteran has never won a match at WrestleMania throughout her illustrious career.
#1. Jade Cargill may not return before WrestleMania
Jade Cargill was brutally attacked last month on WWE SmackDown by a mystery star. SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis launched an investigation to find the culprit but has had no luck so far. Cargill and Belair are the reigning Women's Tag Team Champions, but Naomi recently replaced the former AEW star.
Naomi and Belair successfully defended the titles against Nia Jax and Candice LeRae this past Friday night on the blue brand. The attack on Cargill could have been severe enough to put her on the shelf for a long time, potentially causing the 32-year-old to miss WrestleMania next April.
