5 notable absentees from the Survivor Series card this year

#3 Dean Ambrose

Dean Ambrose is not scheduled for Survivor Series

Dean Ambrose returned from his injury the week before SummerSlam. Ambrose missed the SummerSlam card, but was at Seth Rollins' side during the latter's Intercontinental Championship match against Dolph Ziggler.

Dean managed to make it onto the Hell in a Cell card, but failed to capture the tag team titles. However, The Lunatic Fringe did not make it onto the Crown Jewel card, and is almost certain to miss Survivor Series as well.

Since Dean isn't a champion, he cannot participate in any of the champion vs champion match-ups. However, he could have been a part of the traditional five on five Survivor Series elimination tag team match.

WWE decided to go with the team of Drew McIntyre, Braun Strowman, Dolph Ziggler, Bobby Lashley, and Finn Balor, led by acting general manager, Baron Corbin.

However, Dean may play a pivotal role during Seth Rollins' clash against Shinsuke Nakamura.
