Fans were excited to see Lynch vs. Nox for the title but will now have to wait. However, the rumors of COVID-19 were proven to be false, and a video package aired during the show that explained why Lynch would not be performing.

The real reason for Lynch not performing is an injury

During the show, a video segment was played featuring Lynch and Nox backstage. Lynch had her arm in a brace and talked to Nox about the cancelation of their match that night. According to Lynch, her match the week before with Stratton left her unclear to perform tonight. This was evident by the brace, and Nox nodded in approval.

Lynch did state that she would like to face Nox at full health, and even Nox would not want Lynch performing at half her potential. Nox and Lynch ended the segment by confirming their match is still on as soon as Lynch is cleared for in-ring work. While her match with Stratton was brutal, no one knows if this is the reason Lynch was injured or if it is part of the storyline.
