Earlier this week it was announced that Eva Marie would be teaming up with Natalya and Alexa Bliss to take on Naomi, Becky Lynch and Carmella at SummerSlam.
Eva Marie was removed from the match after WWE revealed that they had suspended her for 30 days for violating the Wellness Policy. After news of the suspension went public, WWE started teasing that Natalya and Alexa Bliss could recruit a new partner. They posted the following:
“Will Alexa & Natalya power through without the “eternally beguiling” redhead and battle Becky, Carmella & Naomi in a 2-on-3 Handicap Match? Or will the fierce Bliss and the tactical Natalya recruit a partner in time for The Biggest Event of the Summer?
See what ripple effect Eva’s absence will have on the rest of the division when. SummerSlam gets underway this Sunday night on the award-winning WWE Network at 7 ET/4 PT.”
PWInsider.com is now reporting that former WWE Divas Champion Nikki Bella is in New York City
It was reported earlier in the week that Nikki Bella had been cleared to return to the ring, and it’s possible that she could be Eva Marie’s replacement tonight.
It’s been speculated that Nikki Bella could be joining the SmackDown brand with boyfriend John Cena.
It’s a conniving plot by WWE to convince us that Eva Marie was actually Fit To Compete at all, so they suspended her, pretending they are taking her talent away from us, so we want to see it more when she comes back, yet we’ve seen it, and no evidence of talent has yet been revealed!
