WWE has a loaded roster, possibly the most stacked it has ever been in terms of talent. RAW and SmackDown are filled with big names, with quite a few of them returning in recent times. The likes of Roman Reigns, Aleister Black, and Mickie James are on our screens again. However, there are many more Superstars who are currently off TV.
Various part-timers like Brock Lesnar and Edge will likely return in time for WrestleMania season, while another few notable stars could return pretty soon. That being said, there may be more WWE wrestlers who are away than you might remember. Whether through injuries or various other factors, all of them have not been on WWE TV for several months.
Prior to going off TV, these WWE names were not exactly in the most favorable spot on the roster. All of them did, however, remain with the company amidst the mass releases in April. That is probably why the fans may not remember them. It does open the door for a few possible surprise returns down the line, in some cases.
Here are five current WWE Superstars that fans may have forgotten about.
#5 Bo Dallas hasn't been seen on WWE TV in a while
Bray Wyatt's baby brother has not wrestled for close to one whole year, with his last televised match coming in the WWE World Cup Tag Team Turmoil Match at Crown Jewel last October. Bo Dallas has never been a prominent figure on WWE TV, despite being a former NXT Champion.
However, he remains with the company after seeing his tag team partner, Curtis Axel, get released. Dallas and Axel won the RAW Tag Team Championship as lovable underdogs, called the B-Team. But now, he is on his own in WWE and there is no telling when he will return to TV, if ever.
One interesting spot for Dallas would be alongside Wyatt in the Firefly Fun House. His somewhat quirky demeanor could fit right in his brother's creation. The fact that he is only 30 years old also bodes well for a possible future as a contributing part to RAW or SmackDown.
Bo Dallas has been a forgotten man for a long time, especially after the B-Team was forcefully disbanded. It must be noted that Bray Wyatt had a similarly long absence before his career-changing reinvention. Maybe Dallas could follow in his brother's footsteps.
#4 The Forgotten Sons have been away from WWE for months
As their name suggests, the Forgotten Sons are not the name that comes to mind when thinking about SmackDown's tag team scene. After debuting on WWE's Blue brand right after WrestleMania 36, the trio quickly made a name for themselves and took advantage of a division lacking in depth.
Jaxson Ryker, Steve Cutler, and Wesley Blake were in line for a big push towards the SmackDown Tag Team Championship. They even featured in a multi-team title match at Money in the Bank. The Forgotten Sons were also in line for a feud against The New Day for the SmackDown Tag Titles.
However, a politically insensitive tweet from Ryker, the group's muscle, seemingly caused WWE to halt the Forgotten Sons' push. They have not been on SmackDown for months and were promptly replaced by Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura as The New Day's challengers.
For a team whose presence did not exactly set the world on fire when they were on WWE TV, their extended absence has caused them to be, quite literally, forgotten. It is a shame for Culter and Blake, as they might have become SmackDown Tag Team Champions if it wasn't for Ryker's tweet.
#3 Robert Roode has been absent from WWE
Another former NXT Champion who has not been on WWE TV recently, Robert Roode was a semi-prominent figure on SmackDown until the COVID-19 pandemic caused the US and Canada to close their borders. Roode, who lives in Canada, has not been able to travel for WWE's TV tapings.
It is a shame, as a man with Roode's talent and ability should be in a better position, whether he appears on TV or not. The Glorious One was most recently in a team with Dolph Ziggler and was reportedly set to team with him and Sonya Deville in a mixed tag team match against Heavy Machinery and Mandy Rose, at WrestleMania.
And despite not appearing on WWE programming for over five months, Roode moved between brands. He and Ziggler were drafted to RAW to replace AJ Styles, who went the other way. Roode's name was only mentioned by the Show-Off in a promo.
So once he returns to WWE, expect the two of them to go after RAW Tag Team Championship. But for now, Robert Roode remains off our screens and there is no indication towards his eventual return.
#2 Ember Moon has been away from WWE with an injury
One of the more underrated female stars in WWE, Ember Moon has not been on RAW or SmackDown for close to a year. She tore her Achilles tendon during a chase for Carmella's 24/7 Championship last September and has yet to return to the ring from the injury.
Moon had challenged Bayley for the SmackDown Women's Championship a month prior at SummerSlam but was unable to get the job done. Her position on the card was hardly the best, but WWE could do with more depth in their women's roster. The War Goddess was undrafted due to her serious injury and it is unknown when she may return to WWE.
During an episode of WWE Backstage in May, Moon said that her injury may be career-ending and that she will fight to come back to the ring. Hopefully, the former NXT Women's Champion does make a return to action.
She is a bright talent who has a tremendous upside, as shown by a string of impressive performances on NXT, RAW and SmackDown. Ember Moon may be off the radar right now, but she could become a major star in WWE once she is fully recovered from her injury.
#1 Lars Sullivan has been away from WWE for more than a year
Possibly the most forgotten WWE Superstar at the moment, Lars Sullivan has been absent from TV for over a year. Aside from his knee injury, a couple of other issues plagued The Freak. Some comments of his on a bodybuilding forum in 2013 were made prominent, all of which were in poor taste. This led to Sullivan being fined by WWE.
The former NXT man nearly had an explosive start to his WWE career, with suggestions that he was going to face John Cena at WrestleMania 35. However, Sullivan suffered an anxiety attack before his RAW debut, causing WWE to delay his main roster call-up.
He eventually showed up on the RAW after WrestleMania and took out Kurt Angle before decimating the Hardy Boyz one night later on SmackDown. Sullivan's last match was in June when he defeated the Lucha House Party in a Handicap Match.
He has not been heard from since, and his name has not been brought up much except for when some videos from his past resurfaced. Sullivan's WWE return might still be a while away, if he does come back.
And it seems like the fans aren't the only ones who have forgotten Lars Sullivan. Triple H was not aware of his progress when asked about it on the NXT TakeOver: XXX Media Conference Call. The Game also had no idea about a potential WWE return for the big man.
