WWE SmackDown star heartbreakingly reveals he will be forced to miss WrestleMania 41

WWE RAW will move to Netflix next month, and then the Road to WrestleMania will begin a few weeks later. The Show of Shows is the biggest event of the year, and the company will have huge plans to ensure its success.

WrestleMania 41 will take place on April 19 and 20, 2025, in Vegas. Several stars, including Bronson Reed and Tonga Loa, are expected to miss the event due to injuries. Recently, former Tag Team Champion Karl Anderson announced on Talk n Shop that he will be out for up to seven months.

"I am out indefinitely, I’d say at least six or seven more months with a torn rotator cuff and torn labrum," Anderson said.

The O.C. member hasn't been seen since September 2023, when he was in action on NXT. He recently underwent surgery for his torn rotator cuff. Anderson and Luke Gallows were once considered one of WWE's hottest tag team acts, but they have been working with new stars in NXT in recent months.

This is a major blow since WrestleMania is WWE's biggest event of the year

It's a huge blow for any star to miss WrestleMania, but it seems that injuries can't be avoided. Anderson is coming to the end of his career and perhaps would have wanted to be able to push forward to be part of the show, but there is nothing that can be done if he can't be cleared in time.

Luke Gallows will also be upset that he could be forced to miss the biggest event of the year since the duo has been working as a tag team the whole time they have been in WWE, and it's hard to imagine that he would push towards a WrestleMania match without his Good Brother.

It will be interesting to see if Gallows works as a solo star while he's on the sidelines.
