10 Wrestling Matches That Were Controversially CANCELLED
3. Zelina Vega & Carmella Vs Liv Morgan & Toni Storm (WWE SmackDown, September 10th 2021)
Fans raced to Zelina Vega's defence in 2021 when, a day short of the 20th anniversary of her Father's tragic passing on September 11th 2001, her SmackDown match was cut at the last minute.
Vega was supposed to team with Carmella against Liv Morgan and Toni Storm, and noted that Vince McMahon was the one responsible for the change. She added that he'd called her personally to apologise too.
"A lot of people were really upset, but I felt like a lot of the anger was misguided,I was disappointed, but I also knew it wasn't a personal thing...when it got cut, Vince McMahon called me and apologised because he wanted to make sure that I knew, 'Listen, this wasn't done to you personally or anything, it was literally just [the time], I had to make that call and I'm so sorry.'"
Moved to comment specifically because of the support she'd received, she added;
"...the outpouring of love I felt that day and a bunch of other days too is incredible. Without the fans, we'd literally be nowhere. Just know it wasn't something done personally to me. To have a boss to care enough to call you and go 'Look, I'm sorry' that's important."
With the matter addressed publicly, the teams eventually worked together seven days later, with Morgan and Storm picking up the win via count out.
