Why Can't Raiden Compete in the Mortal Kombat Tournament?
Raiden can't compete in the Mortal Kombat tournament because he's an Elder God and they're not allowed to interfere directly in mortal affairs. Bummer for him, but it keeps the playing field fair!

Raiden's status as a protector and overseer means he has to keep his powers in check during the tournament. No fun allowed for the thunder god!
He sits out to avoid disqualification. The tournament rules prevent deities from joining in; someone had to throw in some regulation to keep things balanced!
Because he's a god and it wouldn't be fair to let him compete against mere mortals. Seriously, that's like bringing a tank to a fistfight.
