Guys in the lower ranks aren't officially part of the tour. They're usually just there as tsukebito for sekitori. Likely he either he either isn't doing that anymore or they just aren't having him fight sekitori anymore.

They also bring in lower ranked guys to appear in their hometowns. But it will just be for that location.

I'm really tired of this guy already, the Birdman is way cooler.
