A recent WWE match was reportedly not great and as a result had to be heavily edited for it to be okay for television.
The match in question was the Lash Legend vs Sarray match that took place on the December 17 edition of 205 Live - which was only Legend's second match in WWE.
Legend won her first match against Amari Miller the week before, which was also on 205 Live. But when she had her second match against Japanese star Sarray something went horribly wrong and the resulting match was heavily criticised.
The Wrestling Observer Newsletter has since reported that the final version of the match that made television was a heavily edited, heavily cut-down version of the whole match because of how bad some of it was - with Legend getting the blame.
The WON event suggested that this was one of the company's most edited matches ever and even after cutting the match down to 3 minutes of 'highlights' that it still fell well short of reaching the standard needed.
It's a small concern because Legend was likely put against Sarray because the latter is an experienced wrestler and one of the best currently in NXT 2.0.
Who Is Lash Legend?
Legend us not a fully trained wrestler, instead she's a former college basketball player who briefly played with the WNBA before transitioning to WWE. She's been hosting the 'Lashing Out with Lash Legend' segments on NXT and seems to have a promising career ahead of her, but it's worth noting she hasn't wrestled since the aforementioned match in question.
Here's hoping that if Legend was the cause of the match not coming together as well as it could have that she manages to bounce back and that WWE gives her another chance. Having patience with the crop of new wrestlers that the company is bringing up through the ranks of NXT 2.0 will be key to their new strategy of focussing on homegrown prospects rather than former indepedent wrestling darlings.
