Layla recalls Vickie Guerrero was slated to win the WWE Women's Title

Vickie Guerrero was one of the most memorable GMs in WWE history. However, she was not known for being an in-ring performer. Although she occasionally got in the ring to compete, she was far from being any good. Despite this, at one point, the company considered making her the Women's Champion when Beth Phoenix got injured.

During a recent interview with the Heated Shenanigans podcast, Layla recalled that Vickie Guerrero was originally supposed to win the Women's Title after Beth got injured. However, Layla was informed later by Finlay that she would be winning instead.

"The actual plan was to give the title to Vickie. They were going to give the title to Vickie because Beth [Phoenix] was injured. So, that whole day, that's how we were planning," Layla recalled. "[Finlay] came by the ring and he goes, 'Hey, so you're winning the title tonight.' I was like, 'Oh, okay,' because he's always joking around. He goes, 'No, legit, seriously, you're winning the title tonight.' 'Who me? No.' I still didn't believe it, I thought he was just messing with me." [From 15:24 onwards]
