10 Reasons WWE RAW 25 Was Such A Letdown
3. Notable Absences
RAW 25 certainly had an impressive guest list, I'm not gonna lie. Even so, the notable absences are quite significant. According to Hall of Famer Lita, she wasn't even invited to the show, which is just bizarre when you consider she was just on their commentary team as part of the Mae Young Classic.
Mick Foley is an even bigger absence. Obviously, he might not be in the best traveling shape, but when you consider that some of the greatest RAW moments of the Attitude Era came courtesy of him, his lack of inclusion is quite jarring.
And then, of course, you have Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Now look, I get it, The Rock is a very busy man making prestige mood pieces such as Rampage, but could he seriously not have been asked to, I dunno, facetime during the show and spout a few catchphrases? It wouldn't have been incredible, but it would have been something.
Obviously, we weren't gonna see guys like Punk or Hulk Hogan, but when you consider all the other faces who didn't appear, you have to scratch your head.
