The nixed match was a 6-man tag team match between Braun Strowman, AJ Styles, and Seth Rollins against Bobby Lashley, Baron Corbin, and Drew McIntyre.
In case you didn’t know…
Tonight’s edition of Monday Night Raw saw Vince McMahon introducing the Wild Card rule, which states that “a limited number of Superstars from Raw or SmackDown” will be invited to “cross brand lines for one-night-only appearances”, according to WWE’s official website.
The show also saw AJ Styles abandoning Universal Champion Seth Rollins in a tag team match against Bobby Lashley and Baron Corbin. Here are 5 possible reasons that we’ve come up with as to why Styles abandoned Rollins tonight.

The heart of the matter
As usually is the case, WWE had advertised a 6-man tag team main event that was supposed to be taking place after Raw went off the air. This didn’t end up happening though, as the match was nixed for unknown reasons, and the arena emptied after the main event of Kofi Kingston vs Daniel Bryan for the WWE Title, which Kofi won via a pinfall.
One possible reason for the match being canceled could be the fact that AJ Styles turned on Rollins during the main show. This led to The Beastslayer promising to deliver a beating to Styles at Money In The Bank. It would have been odd for the live audience to see the two Superstars join forces, hours after seeing AJ abandon Seth.
What’s next?
Although it’s a long shot, it would be interesting to find out the actual reason why WWE nixed the dark match.
What are your thoughts on this? What could be the possible reason WWE nixed the match?

The WWE Universe celebrated O’Neal’s birthday via a sing-along, humming the tune of “Happy Birthday”.
In case you didn’t know…
Titus O’Neal isn’t stranger to the WWE Universe. He has been with WWE for a long while now. O’Neal was once a part of a tag team with Darren Young, with the duo being called The Prime Time Players.
As time passed, Young was released from his WWE contract, but his partner stayed with the promotion. He was later given the gimmick of Titus Worldwide, with Dana Brooke acting as his manager. However, this didn’t go anywhere, and Titus has remained in the mid-card to date.
The heart of the matter
Today, Titus O’Neal celebrated his 42nd birthday. Vince McMahon himself went out of his way to send an incredibly heartwarming wish to him on Twitter. It was nice to see that Vince has moved on from the time when he was genuinely angry at O’Neal, when the latter grabbed him after Daniel Bryan’s retirement speech on an edition of Raw.
