WWE kicked off their 2021 Holiday Tour events tonight, but the following advertised talents were absent from the tour dates:
NYC
*WWE Champion Big E.
*WWE Raw Women's Champion Becky Lynch.
*Bianca Belair.
*Bobby Lashley.
*Seth Rollins.
*Zelina Vega.
TAMPA
*WWE Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura.
*WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns.
*Xavier Woods.
Additional Notes:
-Natalya missed Tampa as she was instead sent to NYC.
-While not advertised for either event, Austin Theory, Carmella, Liv Morgan and Doudrop were not on either show.
-We are told Carmella was never slated for the Raw event tonight.
-With no Bobby Lashley in NYC, obviously MVP was not at the show.
-WWE opened each event tonight by noting that talents would be missing the shows due to the "effects of COVID-19." PWInsider.com first reported last week the company was dealing with a series of COVID-19 positives for both talents and backstage staff. However, their absence should not be seen as a 100% confirmation of a positive unless they have publicly disclosed it.
