This past Monday, the WWE Universe witnessed some of its finest legends with their very eyes.
This week's episode of Monday Night RAW saw some major names return to WWE for one night only as the company celebrated a RAW Reunion. From John Cena to Ric Flair, the Red Brand had some major stars paying them a visit.
WWE Creative gave the fans a perfect evening as a phenomenal show took place at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida. This special episode was an extended one and the fans were delighted by the events they witnessed.
D-Generation X returned to save Seth Rollins from The OC, and we also got to witness a Stone Cold Steve Austin special. All these events took place on RAW this week and made it one of the most memorable episodes of all time.
While many big names appeared, there were quite a few who didn't and we can't help but discuss it. Here are the 5 major absentees from the historic RAW Reunion.
#5 Kane
RAW was Kane's second home as the Big Red Monster truly thrived on the Red Brand! Kane is often praised for his longevity in the business and it won't be wrong to anticipate a Hall of Fame induction for the Devil's Favourite Demon.
Kane has had a tremendous in-ring career and many great men have fallen prey to his ruthlessness on Monday Night RAW.
The former World Champion was dearly missed by the WWE fans as many former RAW Superstars reunited this past Monday.
Kane isn't an active performer these days but keeping his history with the Red Brand in mind, it would have been a real pleasant surprise for the fans had the Big Red Machine made an appearance and wreaked havoc on the show.
#4 Big Show
This week’s RAW wasn't an ordinary weekly episode but a mega event as many former and current Superstars showed up to reunite on RAW. With that being said, it was a bit disappointing to note that Big Show didn't appear to reunite with his former colleagues.
Big Show has been part of numerous memorable moments in the history of Raw which is why his absence is a bit hard to digest. From the time knocked out Triple H cold to break free from The Authority to the moment when broke the ring with Braun Strowman, the gigantic Superstar has a lot of memories on Raw.
From Triple H to John Cena, Big Show has shared the ring with some of legends of the business. While many of those legends were present, Big Show wasn't!
#3 Edge
The Rated-R Superstar retired a long time ago but he does, time and again, make a guest appearance on the WWE network. Edge is still closely linked to the company and often makes an appearance in special episodes.
Someone like Edge surely belongs in the same breath as some of the other legends on the episode and considering his relations with the company, it is a bit appalling to note that he didn’t feature on this past week’s episode of Raw.
Edge may have wrestled on SmackDown for the majority of his career but his time on Raw was nothing short of memorable. His rivalries with the likes of John Cena, Randy Orton and more took place on the Red Brand which makes him one the most entertaining stars to have ever performed on Raw.
#2 The Rock
The Rock is undoubtedly one of the greatest Superstars of all-time and still enjoys a tremendous rapport with the WWE Universe. The People's Champ lights up the entire arena every time he decides to pay a visit to the company and it won't be wrong to say that the Brahma Bull deserves every ounce of respect that he gets.
He might not be seen on WWE Network off late but his connection with the company remains ever constant and it does make the fans wonder as to why he was nowhere to be found on Raw Reunion.
The Rock spent numerous years on the Red Brand and created one too many memorable moments which truly helped cement his status as one of the greatest of all-time. Men like Ric Flair, Stone Cold Steve Austin made their presence felt but one man who was truly missed is The Rock!
#1 Vince McMahon
The Chairman was nowhere to be seen this Monday night on Raw Reunion. From Stone Cold Steve Austin to Shawn Michaels, the event was graced by numerous legendary figures which make us wonder why Vince McMahon decided against attending the event.
Raw is the longest-running weekly television show in history and Vince McMahon is the mastermind who is to be credited for Raw's success. Vince McMahon is not just the Chairman of the company but the soul of WWE and it was his vision that led to the making WWE.
It would have been quite a sight to watch Vince McMahon standing in the ring with Stone Cold simply because of their iconic history. The two had a storied rivalry back in the Attitude Era-days which are still cherished by the ardent followers of the company.
