5 surprising WWE Superstars who won't be a part of Elimination Chamber 2022

#2 Sasha Banks won't be at Elimination Chamber despite her popularity in Saudi Arabia

Sasha Banks was booked as a true star by WWE last year. She entered the main event of WrestleMania 37's first night as the SmackDown Women's Champion against Bianca Belair, but her direction on the road to WrestleMania 38 is unknown.

Ronda Rousey has taken The Boss' spot as the top female star on SmackDown alongside SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair.

Last year, she traveled to Saudi Arabia for Crown Jewel and competed in the SmackDown Women's Championship Triple-Threat match against Becky Lynch and Bianca Belair.

The crowd in the Kingdom gave Banks a very warm welcome, and she looked forward to performing there again. Unfortunately for her, she won't be a part of this year's show.

With so many women booked for an event in Saudi Arabia, WWE should've used Banks there to bring more eyeballs to the product.

Sasha's star-power would've made the show even better. Whether she talks or wrestles, fans love watching her.It just makes sense to use every top star possible at an event that will play an essential part in what WrestleMania will look like this year.

#1 Mansoor won't perform at his homeland's first ever Elimination Chamber

Mansoor is the first Saudi-born wrestler to sign with WWE, and he has been a part of several WWE events in Saudi Arabia. He has been portrayed as the homeland hero during his appearances.

The Saudi star has never lost a match on his home turf. His most recent win there came at last year's Crown Jewel premium live event, where he defeated his former tag team partner, Mustafa Ali.

With just a few days left until Elimination Chamber, it's pretty unusual for WWE to not announce anything for Mansoor.

Eight matches are already set for the event, and unless WWE decides to put him on the show at the last minute, it seems like his home crowd won't get to see him compete this time.
