Bobby Lashley is one of the biggest names in WWE and even picked up a recent win over Brock Lesnar. He should have been a lock for the WrestleMania 39 card.
He was originally set to face Bray Wyatt, but after Wyatt disappeared from television for undisclosed reasons, Lashley's 'Mania plans vanished.
Meanwhile, LA Knight spent weeks teasing his own plans. He got over with each promo but had no clear path to The Show of Shows.
Both competed in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal on Friday's SmackDown, which is far from competing at WrestleMania. Lashley at least won and got to appear briefly on the stage at SoFi Stadium on Sunday.
The rest of the roster was forgotten, though. Popular names who stand out include Piper Niven, Dolph Ziggler, Mustafa Ali, Mia Yim, Elias, Bronson Reed, Candice LeRae and Karrion Kross.
There is no argument that plenty more wrestlers deserved a WrestleMania spotlight but were forgotten for the sake of odd segments including Snoop Dogg, Shane McMahon, Pat McAfee, George Kittle and more.
