10 Hyped WWE Debuts That Were CANCELLED
5. Angelina Love
The Beautiful People founding member had a litany of frustrating setbacks that cost her a shot on the WWE main roster back in 2006. A mere 10 days before she was set to arrive on RAW, Love sustained a torn ACL, a career-threatening injury that left her on the shelf until August.
At that point, she fell victim to a long-running issue in the WWE that's been rearing its ugly head again of late: Vince McMahon's last minute rewrites. Despite having rarely led to anything game-changing, and having a knack for infuriating everyone who works for the WWE in any capacity, McMahon's fondness for tearing up the script in the closing stretch has been a constant for many years.
In Angelina Love's case, a last minute rewrite of an August '06 episode of SmackDown led to her debut segment getting cut. To make everything sting that much more, the one week later rescheduling of her debut ultimately fell through too when she received the dreaded future endeavours treatment.
In IMPACT, Love eventually became a cornerstone of the Knockouts division, providing both humour and heel heat, particularly through her long-running work with Velvet Sky. One can't help but wonder how The Beautiful People faction might've looked in WWE.
