The WWE Clash of Champions match card witnessed a few significant last-minute changes as Nikki Cross, Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax were not medically cleared to compete at the PPV.

A female WWE star said her life is in danger. Details HERE

While the Women's Tag Team Titles match was nixed, WWE picked a replacement opponent for Bayley, who ended up being Asuka. Dave Meltzer revealed on the Wrestling Observer Radio that WWE pulled Cross, Jax and Baszler from the PPV due to COVID-19 related issues.

The female Superstars were in contact with a person who tested positive for COVID-19, and the company didn't wish to take any risks by booking them in their respective matches.

Meltzer noted the following:

"Ok so, Nikki Cross and Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax were all called medically, they weren't medically cleared. That was the wording. Nia Jax got really mad about that by the way. The actual issue is that you know it's the COVID situation. I believe that I know at least one of the three, and I think two of the three do not have COVID, but they were in contact with someone who does. So, it might even be all three, but I know for sure one, and I think two. But, it's still part of the COVID, they were afraid of the COVID spread as they were in contact, so they were not allowed on the show. I don't know how all their healths are, but at least two of three are not unhealthy as we speak. Hopefully they do not get unhealthy. So that's the situation there."

WWE also made a big announcement about the future of the Women's Tag Team titles.
