Another Wrestler Pulled From WWE WrestleMania 36 - Match Changed
Potential spoiler follows.
What follows may be classified as a spoiler, though it's likely WWE will address the situation on SmackDown tonight.
Per Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com, the Miz did not film his WrestleMania 36 match as part of the bulk pre-tapes carried out this week. He showed symptoms of an indeterminate illness and was removed from the show accordingly under what is effectively global guidance. Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer reported that his illness in part compelled Roman Reigns to step away from the show. No match was formalised, but the New Day and The Usos are set to clash tonight for the "opportunity" to claim his SmackDown tag team gold.
Or were.
That match serves zero purpose now, if in fact any wrestling match serves one amid this unfolding event.
It's unclear given the secrecy of WWE's plans how this is to be approached. That SmackDown match has already been filmed. Do WWE simply broadcast it? Broadcast it with a new commentary track explaining that it's a mere exhibition now? Will the winning team simply delay their shot until the Miz is cleared for action?
As ever, WWE is faced with a constant stream of questions, internally and externally.
No answers, you suspect, are forthcoming; this is a fluid situation WWE remains intent on holding in their hands, despite how impossible that is.
