Plus, NXT Women’s Champion Charlotte defend in a 4-way match against Sasha Banks, Bayley and Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte for the NXT Women’s Title.

  • Partial Spoiler On Big Original Plans For NXT Takeover, News On Bret Hart’s WWE Status

    WWE’s original plan for the Natalya vs. Charlotte match for the vacant NXT Women’s Championship at the WWE Network live special, “Takeover,” on May 29th was to have Bret Hart and Ric Flair in their respective corners for the match.

    Apparently Hart had an issue that made it impossible for him to appear at the event, so the plan now is just for Flair to be in Charlotte’s corner. There was some discussion that Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart, Natalya’s father, would be used in Hart’s role, however most believe that it won’t happen.

    On a related note, “The Hitman” has yet to sign a new Legends contract with WWE.
