Scrapped Plans for Vickie Guerrero to Win WWE Women’s Championship Revealed

Vickie Guerrero was one of the most hated heels during her time with WWE in the late 2000s and early 2010s and fans remember her storyline with LayCool as well. In fact, it appears WWE scrapped plans for Guerrero to win the Women’s Championship back in the day.

While speaking on the Heated Shenanigans podcast, Layla talked about the time she won the WWE Women’s Championship after defeating Beth Phoenix back in 2010. The match was somewhat odd as she teamed up with Michelle McCool to face Phoenix in a handicap match.

Layla revealed that her championship victory came as a surprise, as the original plan was for Vickie Guerrero to win the title due to Phoenix’s injury, but WWE decided to change that plan in the end.

“It was a dream of mine. I always dreamed about it. I thought, ‘Yeah, I could do it,’ but then, in the back of my head, I’m like, ‘Yeah, you’re not going to do it. There’s no way. You ain’t got a chance.’ The actual plan was to give the title to Vickie. They were going to give the title to Vickie because Beth was injured. So, that whole day, that’s how we were planning.”
