Eva Marie's SmackDown match cancelled due to a 'wardrobe malfunction'
"How will Eva Marie avoid wrestling this week?" is becoming a hilariously ridiculous recurring segment on SmackDown Live. Last week, the former NXT star mysteriously "injured" her leg during her entrance after hopping off the middle rope.
Seconds before Eva Marie's match against Becky Lynch was set to begin, the referee had to call it off. Eva Marie and Lynch were scheduled to have a rematch Tuesday night - but a Super Bowl-style wardrobe malfunction forced Eva Marie out of the ring.
Unfortunately the @WWEUniverse will have to wait ANOTHER day to see @natalieevamarie perform. #SDLive @BeckyLynchWWE https://t.co/n089T24vmh

Becky Lynch invited any of the women on the roster to take Eva Marie's place, and Alexa Bliss made her in-ring debut.
Congratulations to @AlexaBliss_WWE on her FIRST victory on #SDLive! A Happy Birthday indeed! #SDLive @BeckyLynchWWE https://t.co/m4mJUpgZeN

Eva Marie later made a second entrance as the match was going on - commentator John Bradshaw Layfield compared it to Michael Jordan's flu game - and distracted Lynch, allowing Alexa Bliss to pick up a win on her 25th birthday.
@natalieevamarie is killing me. Im a fan. She's cracking me up! #InsertFanUproar
