Reason Why Some Names Missed WWE Raw Legends

That explains it. A WWE reunion show in wrestling can be a lot of fun. With as many wrestlers as you see come through a major promotion like WWE in a given year, you can imagine the amount of people who are out there to be brought back for one more night. The list can go on for years, and this week WWE presented several of them again. However, the fans didn’t get to see everyone they expected.

Raw Legends has come and gone and it left a few questions about a good number of things. There were some strange moments on the show, but one of the biggest issues was the lack of some people showing up. For some reason, a good number of advertised names did not appear, but as is often the case, the explanation comes with a little bit of time, at least for some of them.

Several names did not appear on Raw Legends for a variety of reasons. According to Wrestling Inc., Carlito did not appear on the show because he was never booked. Carlito was one of many wrestlers asked about appearing but never agreed. Someone in WWE accidentally announced him as appearing, but there is no animosity on either side. According to PWInsider.com, Mick Foley did not appear due to Coronavirus issues. There is no word on why several other legends were missing.

Opinion: As annoying as it was to not see some of the names, it’s nice to know that there is nothing wrong with most of them and there was a reason they didn’t appear. Hopefully that is the case with the rest of them, but WWE needs to work on having people they advertise for weeks actually show up. It doesn’t make WWE look good and at the moment, that isn’t something they can afford to do.
