As noted before, this past week’s WWE Raw was changed quite a bit the day of the show but not because of normal reasons (Vince McMahon changing his mind).
Instead it was due to the company’s medical team not clearing individuals due to health issues.
Ricochet was taken out of his match against Styles due to an infected elbow, Rikishi was not cleared for any physicality let alone his Stink-Face and 78-year old Pat Patterson was also not cleared for anything at all.
The Wrestling Observer Newsletter notes that Scott Hall was not cleared for any physical activity as he has a pacemaker in his heart and the company didn’t want to risk anything going wrong during an angle.
Meanwhile, Maryse was backstage but the decision was made not to bring her out because she’s several months pregnant.
