How WWE Has Changed Monday Night Raw Plans After A Surprise Release

There’s your replacement. WWE has had all kinds of changes taking place over the last few months, mainly in the form of wrestlers being released from the company. That can make for some major shifts in storylines, as the angles still have to continue. It seems that in one case, one wrestler was literally swapped out for another, but now we know how the original plans would have gone.

This week on Monday Night Raw, Bianca Belair defeated Tamina. Following the match, Doudrop attacked Belair, who had referenced Doudrop before the match. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, Doudrop is taking the place of Nia Jax, who was released earlier this year, in the storyline. This is also the explanation for Doudrop suddenly turning heel earlier this month.

It was a busy night. Check out what happened, plus what else Doudrop can do:

Opinion: The more I think about this, the more sense it really makes. Jax would fit perfectly into this spot and Doudrop’s turn kind of did come out of nowhere. I could easily see Jax complaining about not getting a spot like Belair did, despite Jax getting all kinds of shots over the years. This does make sense, though I’m not sure how well it is actually working.

What do you think of the change? How is it working? Let us know in the comments below.
