While Big Daddy V was originally announced for the ECW Title battle royale (his name is still on the list at WWE.com), he was not involved in tonight’s 24-man tag match, so perhaps he was injured. Paul London was recently recovering from an injury, which may explain his absence. And Drew McIntyre is on the roster page but hasn’t really been on Raw or Heat since being sent to Florida Championship Wrestling to further… develop. Of the 14 remaining, which of the above WWE Superstars most deserves to be a part of the biggest show of the year? Vote in our poll here.
