Reason why Vince McMahon nixed 28-year-old star's major title match on WWE RAW - Reports
Former WWE CEO Vince McMahon has made his way back to the Board of Directors after the Endeavour deal, and it appears that he has already started making changes to the product.
The latest reports suggest that McMahon made a last-minute change on WWE RAW and scrapped Tegan Fox's title bout against Becky Lynch. Originally, it was reported that the 28-year-old star was slated to face The Man for the NXT Women's Championship.
Instead, Nox went to wrestle Xia Li before the red show during the Main Event tapings. Ever since the star has been drafted to RAW, she has not wrestled in a singles match.
Steve Carrier of Ringside News revealed that the above-mentioned reason was the main factor why Vince McMahon nixed Tegan Nox's match against Lynch.
While speaking to WWE sources, RSN reported that the NXT Women's title was being defended for the first time on the main roster, and the company did not want someone who has not been on TV for a while to face Becky Lynch.
