Lana was 'injured' and removed from her WWE TLC match

In case you're not all caught up with RAW this week (which wouldn't be too surprising if you consider the viewership numbers), Lana scored an upset victory against Nia Jax but then was promptly removed from her WWE TLC 2020 match owing to an 'injury'.

Yes, it was not a legitimate injury but a storyline beatdown that promoted this removal, and one has to believe that Lana was written off from WWE TLC 2020 because the company has big plans in place.
