10 Times WWE Screwed Wrestlers Out Of Huge Matches

Bianca Belair Vs. Sonya Deville was set to be a hot fixture on WrestleMania Backlash 2022—but then WWE pulled the rug out last minute. Originally announced on The Bump, the match was suddenly shifted to next week’s episode of Raw. The change was far from random; the episode is being taped in Knoxville, Tennessee, which just so happens to be Bianca’s hometown, apparently lending extra weight to her story in a familiar setting.

WWE’s decision seems less like an injury-related cancellation and more like a calculated move to spotlight Belair in a hometown environment. The change left many wondering whether WWE was teasing the audience with a late reprogramming twist or simply reworking plans on the fly. Sonya Deville, who had been built up as a credible challenger on Raw, was caught off guard by the reshuffle, diluting what could have been a highlight bout at WrestleMania Backlash.

For fans, this rapid switch sparked a mix of irritation and curiosity. While some understood the strategic appeal of a hometown showdown for Bianca, others felt that the rebooking robbed both competitors of a proper moment on one of WWE’s biggest stages. The alteration remains a divisive topic among the faithful, questioning whether it was smart booking—or just another off-the-cuff decision from WWE’s playbook
