WWE’s decision to schedule a double championship match between Giulia and Stephanie Vaquer at NXT Roadblock in two weeks appears to be driven by one of the competitors needing time off.
According to Bryan Alvarez on Wrestling Observer Live, one of the two wrestlers is dealing with an undisclosed injury and requires a break from in-ring competition.
“Without spoiling it, because if I spoil it I spoil the match, one of these women is banged up, needs time off. And so they’re doing the match and then she’s taking time off. So that’s what happened,” Alvarez stated.
