If you've watched Monday Night Raw lately, you have have noticed a few absences from live programming.

On last night's Raw, Roman Reigns, Finn Balor and Bayley all didn't appear in front of the live crowd. Bayley was seen in a backstage interview with Corey Graves, while Roman Reigns and Finn Balor had video vignettes featuring them air.

When Fightful.com asked multiple WWE employees about the thought process of having three top babyfaces off of the show, we were given a unanimous answer. WWE is taking an approach in hopes to not overexpose the characters, as they've not had the best of luck in booking faces lately.

We were told this isn't likely to carry through August, as Raw and Smackdown hope to have "all hands on deck" building to the SummerSlam PPV.

Fightful will discuss more about this on Wednesday's "The List And Ya Boy Podcast," live at 3 PM EST.
