The road to Survivor Series 2024 culminated with last night’s episode of RAW, which saw Bianca Belair defeat Nia Jax in the main event, giving her team the advantage in the Women’s WarGames match at the premium live event. However, several big names were noticeably absent from the show, casting a shadow over the excitement building ahead of the big event.
Some of these absentees included AEW stars CM Punk, who was expected to have a conversation with Roman Reigns on this week’s episode of SmackDown. Punk’s involvement in the Survivor Series card has been a hot topic, with Paul Heyman revealing that he would be the final member of the OG Bloodline. Despite this, Punk did not appear on last night’s episode of RAW, leaving fans wondering what his role will be at the event.
Another notable absence was The Wyatt Sicks, aside from Nikki Cross, who were supposed to make an appearance on the show. Karrion Kross’s search for the faction ultimately ended in a confrontation with Scarlett, with Nikki Cross making a surprise appearance and playing mind games with her. The outcome of this feud is still uncertain, with Kross vowing to exact revenge on the faction for targeting his wife.
Bronson Reed, a recent addition to Solo Sikoa’s version of The Bloodline, was also missing from the show. As a member of the faction competing in the Men’s WarGames match at Survivor Series, Reed’s absence raised questions about his involvement in the event. He did make an appearance during Solo Sikoa’s vignette, acknowledging his faction’s superiority over Roman Reigns’ team.
Lastly, Seth Rollins, who was asked to join both the OG Bloodline and Solo Sikoa’s team for the WarGames match, did not make an appearance on the show. As of now, the former World Heavyweight Champion is not scheduled for a match at Survivor Series, but rumors suggest he may show up during the promo between Roman Reigns and CM Punk on SmackDown this week. With plans for Rollins reportedly being made after Survivor Series, fans are eager to see what his role will be in the post-event terrain.
The absence of these big names on last night’s episode of RAW has sparked curiosity and speculation about their roles at Survivor Series. As the event draws near, anticipation is growing for the twists and turns that will unfold in the coming days.
