Not So Far: Scarlett Reportedly Pulled From SmackDown Dark Match, What May Have Happened

Not so fast? There is a lot that comes together to make a wrestling show work, but the most important is of course the wrestlers themselves. This means a promotion has to keep the roster fresh and moving in order to prevent things from getting stale. For some reason though, a WWE star was not allowed to return to the ring this week despite being ready to do so.

According to Fightful Select, there were plans for Scarlett to return to the ring during a SmackDown dark match after this week’s show. The original match would have seen Scarlett, Karrion Kross and Damian Priest face Matt Riddle, Braun Strowman and Liv Morgan. However, the match was changed, with Legado del Fantasma taking Kross and Scarlett’s place. According to 411mania.com, Scarlett was never told about the match and it was likely the result of either a match being merely pitched or some sort of internal error. Scarlett has only wrestled twice for WWE, most recently in a June 2021 dark match.

Scarlett is a star in her own way. Check out what she can do:

Opinion: This definitely feels like some kind of plan that was never supposed to take place in full, as Scarlett has barely ever wrestled for WWE. There is nothing wrong with that either as she doesn’t really need to be one. Scarlett is perfect in her role as a manager and if she has to wrestle a match later on, so be it. There is nothing wrong with having something else to do on TV and it is working for her.
