Recently, WWE released a promotional graphic for the upcoming 2023 WWE Draft, which showcased the entire WWE roster, except for a few notable absentees. This has left fans wondering about the current status of these wrestlers.
One wrestler who was not featured in the graphic is Alexa Bliss. She has been missing from WWE TV since January after undergoing skin cancer treatment and appearing on the Masked Singer. Additionally, Carmella, who has been absent since a few weeks before WrestleMania, was not included either. However, she was present in Los Angeles for the WrestleMania festivities and even hosted the stage reveal with her real-life partner, Corey Graves.
Another wrestler missing from the graphic is Aliyah. Although she was cleared to return in October after being out of action since September due to injury, she has not been utilized by WWE. Amongst male wrestlers, Bray Wyatt, who has been absent from WWE TV since a few weeks before WrestleMania due to illness, was not included in the graphic. His real-life brother, Bo Dallas (who is known on TV as Uncle Howdy), was also not featured. Randy Orton, who has been out of action for nearly a year due to several injuries, was also not present in the graphic.
Several wrestlers who have been out of action due to injuries, including Big E, Robert Roode, Tommaso Ciampa, and R-Truth, were also not featured in the graphic. However, it is noteworthy that AJ Styles, who has been out with a broken ankle since December, was included in the graphic.
Shanky, who has been absent since July 2022 and had his tag team partner, Jinder Mahal, moved to NXT, was also not featured in the graphic. The exclusion of these wrestlers has raised questions about their future in WWE, and fans are eagerly waiting for updates on their return.
