There were several superstars that were not picked because they are out of action due to injury or in the case of Lacey Evans, she’s pregnant. They are considered free agents along with several others:
FREE AGENTS:
* Asuka
* Bayley
* Brock Lesnar
* Elias
* Eva Marie
* Gran Metalik
* John Cena
* Lacey Evans
* Lince Dorado

Brock Lesnar announced on Smackdown that he is a free agent. Gran Metalik reportedly asked for his release and will likely get it. It’s possible Lince Dorado will be released as well. Shane McMahon has been off television since WrestleMania. John Cena likely won’t be back until WrestleMania season.
