WWE Survivor Series 2019: 5 Superstars who will miss the PPV (and the reasons why)

#2 The Miz

Reason for Survivor Series absence: The Miz has not been involved in a meaningful WWE rivalry ever since his long-term storyline with Shane McMahon came to an end in the summer. He challenged Shinsuke Nakamura for the Intercontinental Championship at Clash of Champions in September but the storyline consisted of just one match and it felt like it was over before it really began.

Chances of appearing on the show: In recent weeks, The Miz has been involved in Miz TV segments with Tommaso Ciampa and Daniel Bryan. There is an outside chance that he could interfere in the match between “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt and Bryan – he is scheduled to face “The Fiend” at upcoming live events – but it would be surprising to see WWE book another Universal Championship encounter with a shenanigan finish.

Possible future storyline: It is unclear if WWE’s announcement about the future Wyatt vs. Miz matches at live events will lead to an on-screen storyline between the two men. Live events often mirror what is happening on television, so perhaps “The A-Lister” will indeed get a shot at SmackDown’s top title.
