Coronavirus Pandemic: Top 5 Plans WWE Had To Cancel In 2020 2

  1. Rhea Ripley Defeating Charlotte Flair

 

Rhea Ripley defended her NXT Women’s Championship against Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 36 that was the biggest match of her career. She became the first NXT wrestler to compete on the main card of WrestleMania in a singles match.

 

Most of the fans expected her to defeat Flair and retain the Title as she was on the verge of a push. But Flair pulled off a surprising win over her and became a 2-Time NXT Women’s Champion. Reports say that WWE changed the plan at the last minute, booking Charlotte to defeat Ripley. Or else, Ripley set to retain the gold.

WWE officials went with the concept that putting the Title on Charlotte and bringing her to NXT would pull up TV viewership on Wednesday nights, especially at a time when there’s no audience in tapings due to Coronavirus pandemic.
