5 notable absentees from the Survivor Series card this year

#4 Randy Orton

Randy Orton has been an icon in Survivor Series

Randy Orton is one of the first names that pops to mind when we hear the term Survivor Series. The Viper has an outstanding record at the event, being the only guy to be a part of the winning Survivor Series team for a record five times.

However, similar to Dean Ambrose, Orton has been omitted from many PPVs. The Viper missed SummerSlam and Super Show-Down, and may miss Survivor Series.

Being one of the elite names in the industry, we would expect Orton to make it into the men's elimination match team.

However, surprisingly he was omitted from the list. The group comprises the captain Miz, Shane McMahon, Rey Mysterio, Samoa Joe, and Jeff Hardy. One might feel Orton should have been in the team instead of Shane McMahon. However, it seems The Apex Predator will have to sit it out this time.
