• RAW Wrestler Loses WrestleMania 36 Spot Because Of Rey Mysterio
According to the Wrestling Observer, WWE officials were originally planning on doing a match for the United States Championship at WrestleMania 36, after Rey Mysterio pinned Andrade on RAW.
Then WWE officials decided to not do a separate match and the currently planned RAW Tag Team Championship match was announced.
The original plan for the RAW Tag Team Championship match also had Rey Mysterio & Humberto Carrillo teaming up to face The Street Profits and Andrade & Angel Garza in a triple threat tag team match.
However, after Mysterio went into quarantine due to the current coronavirus situation, Carrillo also got pulled from WrestleMania 36:
“Just last week on RAW, Rey Mysterio pinned Andrade in a non-title match. It was not definite that would lead to a title match, but a title match was scheduled as either a singles match or a multiple person match. Besides Mysterio, names like Black, Humberto Carrillo and Garza were thought of for the match.
Rather than adding a new match to the show, the plan after that decision was made was to have the tag title be in a three-way with The Street Profits vs. Andrade & Garza vs. Mysterio & Carrillo. But with Mysterio being out, Carrillo lost his spot.”
