WWE News: 205 Live script rewritten at last minute as pregnant Maria Kanellis hospitalised

205 Live had to rewrite major segment after Superstar dramatically rushed to hospital

What's the story?

Maria Kanellis has revealed via her Instagram that she was rushed to hospital and subsequently hospitalised on Tuesday evening, which is apparently why the scheduled contract signing segment between Mike Kanellis and Drake Maverick for next week's 205 Live never happened.

In case you didn't know...

A couple of week's ago on 205 Live Mike Kanellis and Drake Maverick's ongoing and long-running antagonism towards each other finally boiled over into physicality when Maverick snapped and attacked Bennett

Maverick hit a picture perfect drop-kick in a massive departure from the comedy character we've seen him portraying in the 24/7 Championship segments, immediately setting up an intriguing feud between him and Kanellis.

The heart of the matter

On this week's 205 Live an in-ring contract segment involving Mike Kanellis and Drake Maverick making their match official was supposed to accompany the Isiah 'Swerve' Scott Vs. Drew Gulak match. However, it never happened with the live audience only getting an impassioned backstage promo from Maverick.

It seems that this promo was either improvised or written very close to bell-time as Maria Kanellis reveals her sudden trip to the hospital forced her to miss WWE.

This is where I spent my day yesterday. Baby number 2 is giving me a run for my money. I had acute vomiting, a headache, and I was dehydrated. I threw up from 6am-3pm nonstop. I have never missed a day at WWE that wasn’t planned for in advance. But yesterday I was forced to stay away. It was a wild day! I received fluids, nausea meds, and Tylenol. They think I had a flu bug but I am feeling much better today. The nurses and doctors were fantastic and very caring. This pregnancy is definitely different from the first time. Baby 2 is doing good and that is what matters most. I am blessed to be pregnant and to have a beautiful 15 month old. Plus, women get pregnant all the time, work jobs, have other children, keep house, go to school, travel, have a second job, no paid maternity leave, are single, adopt, and so many other things. So, I keep things in perspective even when I have a tough day or 6 weeks.... I am still incredibly BLESSED!!! #secondpregnancy #12weekspregnant #seeyounextweek

As you can see Kanellis' dehydration, nausea and headache meant that she was hospitalised with a suspected flu bug. But thankfully her and baby number two are both fine and well and on the mend!

Maria also used the #seeyounextweek which indicates that we'll almost certainly be seeing her in her man's corner when Mike Kanellis does take on Drake Maverick in the unsanctioned match.

What's next?

Maria's pregnancy has become a big part of 205 Live as well as Monday nights with an ongoing storyline taking place on Raw that shows Maria being disappointed with Mike Kanellis' frequent losses. Whilst the storyline has been fun to follow so far, her and the baby's health must come first so we're glad that all is well on this occasion and 205 Live was able to scramble a re-write at the last minute!
