Rumor Roundup: WWE Changes Plans From Halloween Havoc, WWE Name Change, More

1) WWE Changes Plans From Halloween Havoc

According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE’s original plan was for Indi Hartwell to appear at Halloween Havoc. She was going to do a run-in during the match between Io Shirai and Candice LeRae.

Those plans were changed after Hartwell was placed under quarantine due to the recent COVID-19 outbreak in WWE. Here is what Meltzer said (h/t to Ringside News):

“As far as I know the only talent that was booked for the show who wasn’t there was Indi Hartwell who was gonna do a run-in — in fact, it’s gonna come out in theory, the person in the Scream mask that helped Candice LeRae was supposed to be Indi Hartwell, and may end up being called Indie Hartwell because she never unmasked and the idea was for her to unmask as Indi Hartwell, but she wasn’t there it was somebody else under the thing.”

A person in a mask did appear during the match, so WWE could still reveal that to be Hartwell at a later date.

My Take:

  • WWE is lucky that Indi is the only person who was forced to miss Halloween Havoc after their recent COVID-19 outbreak. Seems like it could have been a lot worse.
