This is ridiculous. We’ve all heard stories about WWE changing the script for Monday Night Raw in the middle of the day, usually just a few hours before the show is set to go on the air. It creates quite the sense of chaos and can mess up almost everything that has been set up already. Well now it turns out that things have gone a step further on an even bigger stage.
According to Wrestling Observer Live, WWE made a change to the first match at the Elimination Chamber pay per view after the show was already underway. The announce team received a new format sheet with a changed finish, though it isn’t clear if the change was to the Kickoff Show match or the pay per view opener, though the Women’s Tag Team Title match seems more likely. There is no indication if the winner was changed or just the way the eliminations took place.
So this is version two? Check out some highlights from Sunday’s awesome title match:
Opinion: I don’t know how this is possible. This match was announced about a month ago and you can imagine how long WWE has had the match in the works. They have this much time to set things up and they can’t make up their minds until after the show has already started? That’s rather ridiculous and one day it’s going to catch up to WWE, if it hasn’t already done so.
How bad does this look? Did WWE make the right decision? Let us know in the comments below.
