WWE Suffers Big Production Botch During Entrance at Sunday Night’s Main Event

WWE had an apparent production error during Tatum Paxley’s entrance at Sunday Night’s Main Event. The show took place Sunday, September 6, at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.

Shortly after Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss made their way to the ring, Paxley started her entrance for the six-woman tag team match. For a few seconds, Kelly Kelly’s old pink graphic flashed on the main screen, including the former Divas Champion’s name. Production pulled the image quickly. Paxley’s entrance went on as normal.

WWE made no announcement involving Kelly Kelly on the show. As of now, there’s also no indication the mistake was used to tease an in-ring return for the former champion.

In the match, Paxley teamed with Flair and Bliss against Jade Cargill, Michin and B-Fab. Cargill’s team won after a miscommunication between Flair and Paxley. B-Fab shoved Paxley into Flair as both went for the Figure Eight at the same time, and Cargill hit Flair with the Jaded for the pin.

Paxley officially debuted on SmackDown on August 7, appearing alongside Bliss to help Flair in her match against Cargill. WWE has been building the three as a unit on the blue brand since.

Kelly Kelly, for her part, hasn’t wrestled a televised WWE match since the Women’s Royal Rumble on January 29, 2022. She entered at No. 4 and was eliminated by Sasha Banks.
