#4. LA Knight will miss Bad Blood

The last time LA Knight was part of a premium live event in WWE, he won the United States Championship. However, since then The Megastar has yet to be booked at a PLE, his absence will continue at the upcoming Bad Blood extravaganza. The 41-year-old is one of the major superstars not to be on the card.

Recently, he defended his United States Championship against Andrade on SmackDown. Post this defense, it's not clear whom Knight will face, but it will be interesting to see when he will return to compete in a PLE next.

#3. & #2. Gunther and Sami Zayn

Since Gunther defended the World Heavyweight Championship against Randy Orton successfully at Bash in Berlin, Sami Zayn has been after the Austrian to grant him a title shot. While Gunther refused to face Sami, it seems like the Canadian won't take no for an answer.

At some point, Gunther will be defending his World Heavyweight Championship against Zayn, but this bout won't be happening at Bad Blood. It will be interesting to see when WWE books the match between the two massive stars.

#1. Jey Uso

In recent times, Jey Uso has been one of WWE's most over superstars. From merchandise sales to getting the crowd to root for him, Jey seems to be in control of things. Despite that, the Yeet Master will not be competing at the Bad Blood PLE.

As per Jey's current storyline, he will be challenging Bron Breakker for the Intercontinental Championship on RAW's upcoming episode. If Jey is able to win the title, it will be interesting to see which premium live event he defends his title on.
