5 Times WWE Superstars had unexplained absences from TV

#3. Current WWE Superstar Damian Priest

Damian Priest made his official WWE main roster debut earlier this year at The Royal Rumble.

The former North American Champion was put into a storyline with Grammy Award winner Bad Bunny heading into WrestleMania. The two stars emerged victorious following their match with The Miz and John Morrison but then Priest went on to have a sketchy few months with WWE.

Alberto Del Rio returning to WWE?

There were rumors that Priest was absent from RAW because of a back injury but this was never confirmed. Fightful reported that the star was unavailable due to "undisclosed reasons."

“We have heard that will be available as soon as next week if WWE has creative plans for him. He was said to have been unavailable the past couple of weeks for other, undisclosed reasons.”

Whatever the issue, Priest has been able to make his return since and is the current United States Champion heading into Extreme Rules.
