8. Wardrobe Malfunction

For the second week in a row, Becky Lynch and Eva Marie were scheduled to go one on one in what would serve as Eva's reintroduction to the main roster. Last week, a freak "knee injury" prevented the bout from getting underway, but surely that wouldn't happen again.

Nope. Instead, before the match began, Eva Marie suffered a wardrobe malfunction. The straps on her top broke, and the referee covered her up with a towel. After that she clearly couldn't compete, so she headed backstage and the referee called the match off. Later in the show, Eva Marie told Charly Caruso that her knee was 100% and she'd be ready to compete next week.

In theory, if something is delayed week after week, shouldn't it be something that the fans actually want to see? Having Eva Marie tell everybody that she's going to wrestle next week is more threat than advertisement, and it leaves fans hoping she has to leave the ring because she forgot to check if she left her oven on.
