#4. Jimmy Uso - Last seen Survivor Series 2020
Jimmy Uso suffered a leg injury back at WWE WrestleMania 36 which has since sidelined him for more than a year. The former Tag Team Champion has since been forced to watch his brother become "Main Event Jey Uso" in his absence despite reports linking him to a return in January.
Uso was expected to make his return to the company at The Royal Rumble and reports have revealed that the star has been cleared for action. It's unclear why Uso is yet to return to SmackDown but he could be one of the surprises on this coming week's episode.
#3. Becky Lynch - Last seen WWE RAW May 2020
Becky Lynch is a former RAW Women's Champion but was forced to vacate her Championship back in May 2020. The Man announced that she was expecting her first child with fellow WWE star Seth Rollins.
The couple announced the arrival of their daughter, Roux, back in December 2020. Whilst Rollins has since made his return to WWE following his paternity leave, Lynch is yet to follow suit.
There have been rumors linking the former champion to an imminent return, and Lynch herself even teased it on Instagram, but it's believed that Lynch will make her WWE return when she's ready since she only gave birth four months ago.
