WWE finally acknowledged that Becky Lynch will be unable to compete at No Mercy and this was played up during the PPV Kickoff show.
Both Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan informed the number one contender Alexa Bliss that Lynch was not cleared to compete and Bliss demanded that she gets the Smackdown Women’s title.
The Smackdown General Manager did not like that idea and then informed Bliss that she will get her title shot…on the live Smackdown on November 8 in Glasgow, Scotland.
Bryan also told Bliss that she’s not having the night off and would be wrestling during the pay-per-view, although he did not name her opponent.
