WWE is hurtling towards SummerSlam and the company is looking to have all hands on deck, both in the build-up and on the show itself. This is to make the company's big summer show as memorable as possible.
Recently several wrestlers have returned to the company after prolonged absences, like Finn Balor, Goldberg, Keith Lee and, of course, The Champ John Cena.
However, there are several WWE Superstars who are yet to return from injury or absence that the company could really do with as it builds towards such a big SummerSlam.
Here are five injured or inactive WWE Superstars that the company is missing.
#5. Sasha Banks is star power that WWE needs
Trending
Sasha Banks hasn't been seen since losing the SmackDown Women's Title to Bianca Belair during night one of this year's WrestleMania, but WWE could really do with her coming back.
Not only is Sasha Banks one of the top stars of WWE's women's division with mainstream appeal and a devoted fanbase, but she's also the most credible opponent for Belair at SummerSlam.
Yes, WWE has added a ton of talent to SmackDown with Shotzi Blackheart, Toni Storm, Tegan Nox and Naomi. But the biggest match you could do with Bianca Belair at SummerSlam is a rematch of the history-making 'Mania bout with Banks.
#4. Bayley carried WWE SmackDown's Women's divisions during the pandemic era
If Sasha Banks is raw star power for the women's division, then Bayley is the heart and soul of it. The Role Model had an incredible run during the ThunderDome era of WWE and has been one of WWE's most consistently great performers.
The fact that she has picked up an injury and will be out for nine months, missing the return of WWE crowds and also missing this year's must-see SummerSlam is a personal tragedy for her, but also a big loss to WWE.
#3. Montez Ford is a burst of adrenaline WWE could always use
WWE's Montez Ford is often described as the star of the Street Profits and whilst that might not be fair on Angelo Dawkins, there's no denying that SmackDown has a little bit less energy without Ford's effortless charisma.
It was nice to see him back on last week's SmackDown when he accompanied Angelo Dawkins when he faced Chad Gable at the Rolling Loud Festival, but what WWE really needs is Ford back in that ring as soon as he's physically able to do so safely.
#2. Lacey Evans/Ronda Rousey/Becky Lynch could be used in RAW's women's division
WWE currently has three female former RAW Superstars out of action because of maternity leave. They are Lacey Evans, Becky Lynch and Ronda Rousey. All three women are at various stages of maternity leave with The Man Becky Lynch the closest to returning at this stage (given that she's had her baby, and the other two haven't).
But RAW's Women's division is definitely in need of a similar boost to the one that SmackDown's just received and any of these women returning. Even Evans, who isn't as big of a name as Rousey or Lynch, would be a welcome return and a much-needed one for WWE.
#1. The Fiend Bray Wyatt is needed to add more star power to SummerSlam
People might be thinking that The Fiend character has run its course for Bray Wyatt, but it's easy to forget that when he debuted it was an undeniable success and he was incredibly popular. He was also unstoppable in his first year or so.
His shine may have reduced slightly since then, but absence could very well make the heart grow fonder and we could see Wyatt return to form once more for SummerSlam. Wyatt is needed for the card as one of WWE's main attractions.
