Why Big E. And Lars Sullivan Did Not Wrestle At Survivor Series

That’s a fast reunion. The WWE Draft took place less than two months ago and completely changed the shape of the WWE roster. That is going to be the case until the same time next year and that is something that can make for some very interesting situations. It also included some major shakeups in WWE, and WWE tried a temporary reunion to one of those changes this weekend.

Survivor Series was built around the idea of the Best Of The Best, with a focus on the Battle For Brand Supremacy between Monday Night Raw and SmackDown. Most of the top names from both shows appeared at Survivor Series and fought for their brand throughout the night, though there were a few notable names missing. Two of the more prominent names were missing for a reason.

Neither Big E. nor Lars Sullivan wrestled at Survivor Series, though Big E. did appear on the show. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, the two of them did not wrestle because Monday Night Raw would have won the two matches they would have participated in and WWE did not want the two of them to be damaged. Big E. was also used in New Day’s entrance to give the fans a special reunion.

You might remember both of them. Check out what Big E. and Sullivan are capable of:

Opinion: I can understand the idea of wanting to protect someone, but how much is there to protect if a wrestler isn’t getting in the ring in the first place? Neither of the of the two have wrestled in a month, which doesn’t exactly make them feel like a big deal at the moment. Hopefully they wind up getting to do something soon, because otherwise, whatever they have built up will be gone in a hurry.

Which of the two have a brighter future? What are you expecting from both of them? Let us know in the comments below.
