WWE is constantly evolving, and this dynamic nature sometimes necessitates immediate plan changes, especially when concerns about COVID-19 persist, as the pandemic is not entirely over yet. Such an instance occurred on last week's SmackDown, requiring some quick thinking from the team.

According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, the Charlotte Flair vs. IYO Sky match on SmackDown was not originally scheduled to take place. Instead, it was hastily put together at the last minute due to unforeseen circumstances.



The situation arose because a few individuals who were initially scheduled for the show couldn't appear, primarily due to COVID-related reasons. While some may not have tested positive, they were in close proximity to COVID-19, prompting adjustments to the show's lineup. As a result, Charlotte Flair's match with IYO Sky was a late replacement, as it was not part of the original plan.

Such unexpected situations may happen again in the future, given that the card is always subject to change in WWE. The company faces the challenge of putting on live television broadcasts, where the show must go on regardless of the circumstances. Ideally, WWE hopes that any COVID-related issues do not persist, as they have various ongoing projects, and altering plans is something they aim to avoid whenever possible.
