One of the most prestigious pay-per-views in WWE, Survivor Series 2021 is just around the corner. The event is scheduled for this Sunday, November 21, which will see the best talent on RAW battle the finest talent on SmackDown for brand supremacy.
Some exciting matches are scheduled for Survivor Series with Universal Champion Roman Reigns from The Blue Brand battling the WWE Champion Big E of the Red Brand. In a similar vein, SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair will lock horns with RAW Women's Champion Becky Lynch.
Apart from these main event classics, we will also witness the Traditional 5-on-5 RAW vs. SmackDown Elimination Matches for male and female superstars. With such entertaining match-cards, the event indeed promises to be outstanding.
Having said this, the event will also witness the absence of some of the finest WWE talents who are not booked for a match. In this article, we look at five WWE Superstars who will not be a part of Survivor Series 2021:
#5 WWE Superstar - Kofi Kingston
WWE Superstar Kofi Kingston is one of the most respected and longest-tenured wrestlers on the current roster.
The Bloodline assaulted the New Day member on the November 5 episode of SmackDown. He supported King Woods, who beat Jimmy Uso in a "loser bends the knee" match.
As a result, the former WWE Champion suffered a legitimate injury after spraining his MCL. Kingston has since been written off WWE television and was absent for Woods' most important match of his career when he took on Roman Reigns the following week on the Blue Brand.
Due to the sudden injury, Sir Kofi might not be a part of the upcoming Survivor Series pay-per-view, much to the dismay of his fans.
#4 WWE Superstar - Bayley
WWE Superstar Bayley has unfortunately been sidelined by injury since July this year.
The former three-time WWE Women's Champion was scheduled to challenge Bianca Belair for the SmackDown Women's Championship at Money in the Bank. Before the PPV, she suffered a torn ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) while training at the WWE Performance Center.
The injury will keep her out for nine months, and as a result, her fans will not see Bayley participate in this year's Survivor Series event.
#3 WWE Superstar - The Miz
The Miz has been absent from TV for the last couple of months.
The former two-time WWE Champion had suffered a legitimate ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) injury after his match against the reigning United States Champion, Damian Priest, at WrestleMania Backlash in May.
Despite the injury, The Miz continued to appear in a wheelchair for the next few months on RAW and was last seen on the Red Brand on the 23 August episode where he attacked his former team-mate, John Morrison.
While his absence is also due to his participation in the show Dancing With The Stars, it is still unknown when The Miz will return to in-ring action, ruling him out of the upcoming Survivor Series event.
.
#2 WWE Superstar - Brock Lesnar
WWE Superstar Brock Lesnar was last seen on SmackDown on the October 22 episode. He destroyed Universal Champion Roman Reigns to avenge his loss at the latter's hand at Crown Jewel.
The Beast Incarnate was suspended by WWE Official Adam Pearce and hasn't been on television since. The real reason for the suspension was to keep him away from the promotion considering his limited dates.
With that being said, Lesnar will next be seen on the December 10 episode of SmackDown, as was revealed by Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Hence, the fans will indeed not witness The Beast at the upcoming Survivor Series event.
#1 WWE Hall of Famer - Edge
One of the biggest superstars not to be part of the Survivor Series event is Edge.
The Rated R Superstar, currently part of the RAW roster, was last seen in action against Seth Rollins in the brutal Hell in a Cell match at Crown Jewel, which the former won, thus ending the epic trilogy.
The former 11-time World Champion has been part of some memorable Survivor Series events in the past. Having said this, the WWE Hall of Famer is not part of any storyline leading up to this year's event, and unfortunately, his fans will not see him in action this Sunday.
