10 Wrestling Stories We’re Glad Got Canceled

10. Sonya vs Mandy – Hair vs Hair

It feels weird to say that one of the most carefully and patiently told stories of 2020 involved Otis gyrating so hard he could charge a battery at the prospect of ham, cake and Mandy Rose, but such is life. Boy meets ham, boy leaves ham for girl, girl meets Dolph, girl’s friend makes ham boy sad about girl and Dolph, girl discovers deception, girl kisses ham, girl vs girl at SummerSlam.

What was originally booked for summerslam was a hair vs hair match, with treacherous Sonya Deville’s locks slated for the chop. However, the plans were hastily changed to a loser leaves WWE stipulation, with Deville losing, leaving and the storyline hastily moving on. The reason why is actually pretty sensitive on WWE’s part.

See, before SummerSlam, Sonya Deville suffered a horrific real-life home invasion that could have gone much worse than it did. After the traumatic incident, WWE opted to not have Deville’s head shaved during her recuperation and before she’d have to appear in court. A good move all around.
