3 WWE Superstars who are currently sidelined with a mystery illness
TLC: Tables, Ladders, and Chairs takes place this weekend live from San Jose, California and it appears that at least one WWE superstar could be struggling to be fit in time for the show.

A few years ago, TLC was hit my illness when the likes of Bray Wyatt and Roman Reigns were sidelined with mumps and then had to be replaced in their matches on the show but Kurt Angle and AJ Styles. TLC 2018 could be following the same blueprint, but luckily this year it has only affected Finn Balor, who is active on the card this weekend.
Illnesses are just as tough for WWE stars to overcome as injuries since many are unable to be cleared if they are suffering from an illness that they could pass on, or if it's compromising their immune system.
#3 Mandy Rose
SmackDown General Manager Paige recently announced that Mandy Rose would take on Naomi on SmackDown Live this past week, but eagle-eyed viewers noted that the match didn't actually take place as part of this weeks show.
Paige stated that this was because The Miz went out to the ring and made a match of his own, which took up the time planned for the women so they were unable to have their match, but CageSideSeats are reporting that Mandy Rose is actually struggling with illness.
Their daily round up points to illness as the reason why Rose was unable to wrestle this week on SmackDown Live, but Paige did note that the issues between Naomi and Rose are not over, which means that if she's cleared in time then Rose could face Naomi next week on Smackdowninstead.
