However, before the show Shawn Michaels posted a video on his social media account informing fans that Reid had suffered an injury during training and was not medically cleared to compete.
Kelly Kincaid spoke to the WWE star, who explained that she was unhappy about missing her title match, but clarified that she had her eyes set on the Speed title still.
It sucks. Tonight was supposed to be the most important match of my career. It also was supposed to be the night that I became the new Speed Champion. But yesterday during training, I was injured. Medical evaluated me this afternoon and they ruled me out.
And honestly, Kelly, I am disappointed, but I’m really pissed off, and I promise you the moment that I’m cleared, that Speed title is mine.
