This weekend, WWE is gearing up to deliver another thrilling installment of Saturday Night’s Main Event, live from Salt Lake City, Utah. The anticipation among fans is palpable, as this show is set to be an absolute blockbuster. The lineup, available for streaming on Peacock, boasts several highly-anticipated matches, including championship contests.
Despite the excitement, some of WWE’s top performers will not be gracing the stage at the forthcoming Saturday Night’s Main Event. Although they play significant roles in ongoing storylines, stars such as Asuka, Solo Sikoa, Lyra Valkyria, and others are expected to sit this one out. Triple H appears to be sticking with the five-match structure for this weekend’s event.
Here’s a closer look at the six major stars who will not appear at Saturday Night’s Main Event XLI:
Did The Rock’s “Final Boss” run hurt WWE? Watch Here!
#5. IYO SKY
IYO SKY has been noticeably absent from Monday Night RAW for the past two weeks. Previously entangled in an intense feud with the Kabuki Warriors, her storyline has seemingly hit a temporary pause on the red brand. As a result, SKY won’t be part of the upcoming Saturday Night’s Main Event.
The lack of development in her narrative involving Asuka and Kairi Sane in recent weeks further confirms her absence from the event. As one of the prominent figures in the women’s division, IYO SKY has been a focal point on Monday Night RAW. Known as the Genius of the Sky, she rarely misses significant WWE events.
#4. Bron Breakker & Bronson Reed
Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed are two of the biggest attractions of Monday Night RAW. Ever since they betrayed Seth Rollins and kicked him out of The Vision, the spotlight has mainly been on them. Fans were hoping to see Reed and Breakker in action at WWE’s upcoming show, which will stream on Peacock.
However, The Vision members will not be part of Saturday Night’s Main Event this weekend in Salt Lake City. Despite riding on a red-hot moment, they would miss the show as the company had no major matchups planned for them. Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed are currently not involved in any specific feud either.
#3. Stephanie Vaquer
One of the biggest stars in the women’s division who will miss Saturday Night’s Main Event XLI is Stephanie Vaquer. The Dark Angel has been the central focus of Monday Night RAW since winning the Women’s World Championship. However, WWE has miserably failed to book her in any prominent singles feud.
Stephanie Vaquer is currently involved in a tag team drama with Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez. Fans were still hoping for her to compete in a tag team match alongside Nikki Bella at Saturday Night’s Main Event. However, WWE didn’t do that either, making La Primera miss the Peacock-streaming event.
#2. LA Knight
LA Knight is one of those superstars who has been riding on a roller coaster ride in WWE. Just when things appear to be in his grasp, the tide shifts drastically. The Megastar, who was once the favorite to win the Battle Royal on RAW and go against CM Punk at Saturday Night’s Main Event, will now miss the show.
The company could have easily booked Knight in a big match at this weekend’s event following his heartbreaking loss. It could have been against any superstar like Bron Breakker, which would have helped both to be in the spotlight. However, WWE failed to come up with any major match for LA Knight at SNME.
#1. WWE star Rhea Ripley
Rhea Ripley is one of the biggest stars in WWE and a central attraction of Monday Night RAW. However, she has been away from television since suffering a brutal beating at the hands of the Kabuki Warriors on October 13 RAW. Prior to her absence, Ripley was involved in a tag team feud with Asuka and Kairi Sane.
However, her absence may have pushed that storyline away for now. The Eradicator will miss the upcoming edition of Saturday Night’s Main Event. Similar to IYO SKY, Rhea Ripley rarely misses any WWE show. However, Mami will be off the card for this weekend’s SNME.
