A total of 16 Superstars who last year were part of the WrestleMania 41 card are not on this year’s card, with some big names omitted.

Perhaps two of the biggest ones are Tiffany Stratton and Iyo Sky, who found themselves with no match despite a stellar year. Stratton walked into WrestleMania last year as the WWE Women’s champion and retained the title over Charlotte Flair while Sky did the same, retaining her WWE Women’s World title in a triple threat match against Bianca Belair and Rhea Ripley in what was a match of the year contender.

Speaking of Bianca Belair, she injured her finger during that match and the former champion has been out of action ever since. Another female unable to compete is Naomi, who several months ago had to surrender the WWE Women’s World title because she was pregnant. Raquel Rodriguez is another one who doesn’t have a match this year, having teamed up with Liv Morgan in a tag match last year.

Chad Gable’s El Grande Americano is also without a match, with his mask vs mask match against the other Americano set for an AAA event later next month. His WrestleMania 41 opponent, Rey Fenix, found himself empty handed as well, not even a spot in the Intercontinental title six-way ladder match.

Bron Breakker might be cleared again, but his original rumored opponent, Seth Rollins, is now facing Gunther and Breakker has no match, perhaps his return being saved for Raw After Mania. Damian Priest is another one who has no match despite holding the WWE Tag Team titles with R-Truth. He went against Drew McIntyre last year.

Two tag teams who battled each other last year at WrestleMania 41 are missing too: The New Day and The War Raiders. None of them had any impactful program on WWE television as of late so their absence is not surprising.

Then-TNA champion Joe Hendry was the big surprise of the evening last year, coming out as Randy Orton’s mystery opponent. Hendry is now under a WWE deal and part of NXT, but no one has called his name for 42, yet.

And two Superstars who were on the card last year have now retired, although one of them will be the host this year! We’re talking of course about AJ Styles and John Cena, both of whom were sent packing by Gunther. Cena is serving as the host of the two-night event while Styles will appear as part of the Hall Of Fame segment.
