5 Superstars who will miss WrestleMania 35

Following this week's WrestleMania 35 go-home episodes of Monday Night Raw and SmackDown Live, we now have the final and official match-card for this year's WrestleMania show.

WWE has lined up what could possibly be one of the most historic and biggest WrestleMania events of all time, as a total of 15 matches have been confirmed to take place on the show, including the three Pre-Show Kickoff matches as well.

The likes of Brock Lesnar, Ronda Rousey, Daniel Bryan, Samoa Joe, and Bobby Lashley, will head into the event with championship gold around their waist and will defend their respective titles against worthy opponents in the form of Seth Rollins, Becky Lynch, Kofi Kingston, Rey Mysterio, and Finn Balor.

Elsewhere, several other special singles matches have also been confirmed to take place on the show, including highly awaited matches between Roman Reigns & Drew McIntyre, Triple H & Batista, and AJ Styles & Randy Orton.

One must give all the credit in the world to WWE for lining up such a stacked match card and getting as many superstars on the WrestleMania 35 card as possible. However, considering how stacked WWE's entire roster is, not every superstar has been able to break into the match card.

The likes of Braun Strowman, Andrade, Asuka, and EC3 have all unfortunately been stuffed into the Pre-Show but other than these notable names, there are several other stars who haven't been able to make it to the 'Mania card.

That being said, with WrestleMania 35 just 5 days away, here are 5 superstars who are sure to miss out on WrestleMania 35.

Honorable Mention: The Revival

The Revival and the Raw Tag Team Titles might not make it to WrestleMania 35

Despite winning the Raw Tag Team Titles a few weeks ago, The Revival has been very poorly booked on the main roster so far. The duo of Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder might have been able to retain their tag titles when it mattered the most but they have also constantly suffered major losses on Raw.

Recent defeats to the likes of Aleister Black and Ricochet certainly didn't help the former two-time NXT Tag Team Champions and just when it looked like the two would eventually go on to put their straps on the line against Black and Ricochet at 'Mania 35, WWE decided to change plans the very last minute.

Instead, it now looks like The Revival are set to miss out on WrestleMania 35 and the Raw Tag Team Titles might not be defended on the show at all. The Major Brothers vs The Revival is what we might get at best and that too on the Pre-Show.

#5. Dean Ambrose

Dean Ambrose is at the end of his WWE run

With both Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns focused on their respective singles matches at WrestleMania 35, their Shield brethren Dean Ambrose is all set to miss out on the biggest WWE event of the year, as he edges closer to his departure from the company.

Having already missed out on last year's WrestleMania, Ambrose doesn't have a solid record on The Grandest Stage of Them All, especially when it comes to singles action. The Lunatic Fringe made it to the 'Mania 33 Pre-Show where he successfully defended his IC Title against Baron Corbin. And a year prior, Ambrose had that disappointing match against Brock Lesnar.

The former WWE Champion, however, is now all set to depart from the WWE right after WrestleMania 35 and that might be the reason why the company officials have decided not to put The Lunatic Fringe into this year's WrestleMania card.

#4. Bray Wyatt

Will The Eater of Worlds make another WrestleMania return?

Another superstar who is all set to miss out on this year's WrestleMania after already having been left out of last year's show is former WWE Champion Bray Wyatt. Well, technically, Wyatt wasn't left out of last year's show, as he did make his return to save and help Matt Hardy win the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal but another return on this year's show seems pretty unexpected at this point.

With the birth of his child Knash, Wyatt seems to be spending some quality time away from in-ring competition, however, The Eater of Worlds is cleared to make a return and could be back on the Raw or SmackDown after 'Mania.

However, a match at WrestleMania 35 seems unlikely for Bray Wyatt and it will definitely be interesting to keep an eye out for his return, given how long WWE has kept Wyatt off TV.

#3. Kevin Owens

Kevin Owens isn't going to make it to WrestleMania 35

Kevin Owens made his highly awaited WWE return just a few short months ago and on his first night back, the former WWE Universal Champion was inserted into the WWE Title picture, as he challenged Daniel Bryan for the title at Fastlane.

However, fast forward to one month later and Owens now finds himself without a match and a spot on the WrestleMania 35 card. Leading up to this year's 'Mania event, the former United States Champion didn't really find himself in an appealing feud and all he did was host talk shows in order to hype up other feuds leading to WrestleMania.

A spot on the US Title match along with Samoa Joe and Rey Mysterio would've definitely worked out and thrown in with the likes of Mustafa Ali, Andrade, Big E, and even Killian Dain (with a couple of ladders here and there) means the fans would definitely be in for a treat at WrestleMania 35.

A ladder match for the US Title involving some of the very best stars, who are unfortunately stuck on the mid-card, would certainly be a solid solution.

#2. John Cena

John Cena is reportedly set to appear at 'Mania 35 but will he have a match?

After having competed in a 2-minute match at last year's WrestleMania, it now looks like John Cena is going to completely miss out on this year's event. Leading up to this year's 'Mania, fans were wondering if Cena was going to have a marquee match at this year's show as well. After all, 'Big Match John' tends to have a major one-v-one match almost every single year.

There were talks of Cena possibly facing off against either Lars Sullivan, EC3, or even Elias for that matter at this year's WrestleMania, however, the multi-time WWE Champion was last seen in early 2019 and hasn't competed in a WWE ring since his injury prior to the Royal Rumble.

Come WrestleMania 35, the WWE Universe could expect a cameo appearance of sorts from Cena at best because, by this point, adding another match to the 'Mania card, and that too a last minute match, for John Cena seems very unlikely.

#1. The Undertaker

The Undertaker will miss The Grandest Show Of Them All for the first time in a while

John Cena might show up for a cameo appearance at WrestleMania, however, if there's one man without whom WrestleMania feels incomplete, it's The Undertaker. For the first time in almost two decades, it looks like The Undertaker is all set to miss out on The Grandest Stage of Them All.

Despite winning his previous WrestleMania match against John Cena last year within two minutes, it is pretty much confirmed by this point that 'Taker will not be a part of this year's event in New Jersey.

Surely, with the stacked roster WWE has, the company officials could've easily come up with a marquee singles match for The Deadman. For instance, a bout against the likes of Aleister Black, Finn Balor, or maybe even a rematch against John Cena would've worked out just fine.

However, the age factor also comes into play and at the age of 53, maybe it is for the best that The Undertaker takes some time off from in-ring competition.
