With WWE WrestleMania 41 less than three weeks away, there are still a host of WWE stars who don’t seem to have a place on the card.
From former champions to fan favorites, there are still some top names in WWE who are not accounted for on the WrestleMania 41 card for either Night One or Night Two.
Here are nine WWE stars that may end up missing WWE WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas.
9. Becky Lynch
Probably the most obvious on the list, Becky Lynch has yet to be seen or heard from in WWE this year.
Making her last appearance back in May 2024 in a losing effort to Liv Morgan, Morgan would later reference having ‘retired Becky Lynch’ – yet no comeuppance has occurred.
With Liv Morgan currently one half of the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, something could always happen to bring Lynch back, but it seems her return might come later instead.
While Lynch did reportedly re-sign with WWE around the start of the year, it may be more likely The Man comes back around on the Raw after WrestleMania 41.

8. Members Of Judgment Day
Speaking of former Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan, she is a current WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion with Raquel Rodriguez, but the duo haven’t really kicked off any new feuds.
In fact, no members of Judgment Day are officially set for any matches at WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas with only a few weeks until the event.
It does appear that Finn Balor and Dominik Mysterio are in the Intercontinental Title picture, but nothing is set in stone as of yet.
And lastly, while the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal could be in his future on the pre-Mania SmackDown, it seems unlikely that Carlito will make WrestleMania 41 Night One or Two either, at least not as an official participant in a match.

7. Shinsuke Nakamura
After losing the WWE United States Championship to LA Knight, Shinsuke Nakamura has a confusing potential path to WrestleMania 41.
While he recently teamed with Drew McIntyre on SmackDown to take on Damian Priest and Jimmy Uso, he continues to wrestle LA Knight on house shows.
With Knight seemingly occupied at WrestleMania 41 with either Jacob Fatu or Braun Strowman (possibly both!), without a new feud soon it would seem likely that Nakamura won’t make the Mania card.
Since the road to WrestleMania is always full of twists and turns, perhaps the path for Nakamura just hasn’t been revealed yet.

6. Alexa Bliss
Another star without a clear path to appear on the card is Alexa Bliss.
After making a big return at the 2025 Royal Rumble, she went on to compete in the Elimination Chamber and then… sort of disappeared again.
Bliss is a former WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion with Nikki Cross (and Asuka for that matter), but she has returned to SmackDown while the current champs Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez primarily appear on Raw.
There have been some rumors that Bliss is planned for some kind of match at WrestleMania 41 that may involve the Wyatt Sicks, but so far, nothing has been made concrete on-screen.

5. Sami Zayn
Despite having been known for memorable moments over the last several editions of WrestleMania, WrestleMania 41 may not have any Sami Zayn moments.
Sami Zayn hasn’t been back to action in WWE since his brutal unsanctioned match against Kevin Owens at WWE Elimination Chamber 2025.
While Kevin Owens is set to face off against Randy Orton at WrestleMania 41, it seems that Sami Zayn could miss the event entirely.
It is still possible that Zayn could get involved in the feud, maybe even joining with Orton in the match, but by all indications it seems that he may not be appearing on this year’s ‘Grandest stage of them all’.

4. Wyatt Sicks
One entire group that has been off of TV are the Wyatt Sicks – Bo Dallas, Joe Gacy, Dexter Lumis, Erick Rowan & Nikki Cross.
With no members of the group having featured in a match thus far in 2025, it doesn’t seem that they will be appearing at WrestleMania 41 either.
As noted, there have been rumors that the Wyatt Sicks may become involved in something that Alexa Bliss does at Mania, but nothing has been confirmed.
With or without Alexa Bliss, it would be nice to see the Wyatt Sicks wreak a little bit of havoc in Las Vegas!

3. Andrade
Andrade made his return to WWE from AEW with a bang – participating in the 2024 Royal Rumble and then in a tag match at last year’s WrestleMania 40 alongside Rey Mysterio against Dominik Mysterio and Santos Escobar.
The past year however has seen Andrade largely go on to feud with Carmelo Hayes and LA Knight on TV while also winning the WWE Speed title on X, before losing it to Dragon Lee.
After losing a United States Championship qualifying match to Jacob Fatu, Andrade has now been entirely absent from in-ring competition on TV in the month of March.
It seems as though WrestleMania 41 doesn’t have a clear spot on the card for Andrade unless there is something as yet to be revealed.

2. Nia Jax
After Nia Jax lost the WWE Women’s Championship to Tiffany Stratton, she went on to put on an impressive display at the Royal Rumble.
Despite several teases of potential feuds during the Rumble match – including any of the record breaking nine women she eliminated – no programs came out of it.
While she would go on to have a tag team match at Elimination Chamber against Tiffany Stratton and Trish Stratus, Jax and Candice LeRae would fail to be successful against the babyfaces.
There is still technically time for Jax to get into a fracas with someone on the SmackDown roster to make it to Las Vegas but time is definitely running out to make it to WrestleMania 41.

1. Sheamus
Despite fans seemingly very invested in him capturing his first ever Intercontinental Championship, it doesn’t seem that Sheamus will make it happen at WrestleMania 41.
While there is definitely still time for Sheamus to get himself entangled into the battle over the title along with the others currently chasing after Bron Breakker, nothing has indicated that will actually happem.
With signs for the eventual IC Title match at WrestleMania 41 suggesting that it may be a four-man match featuring Breakker defending against Penta, Dominik Mysterio and Finn Balor, Sheamus seems to be the odd one out.
Since it makes sense to expect the unexpected from WWE ahead of WrestleMania 41, maybe Sheamus can find a way to sneak into the match!
