Top WOW star had been sidelined
Added 2022-10-22 17:00:06 +0000 UTCWOW talent Beast has long been a favorite of promoter David McClane, with her being the focal point of the program and given a big title push. She was also one of the few holdovers from the former iteration of WOW Women of Wrestling to the current one, and was factored in heavily to the show moving forward.
Unfortunately, we learned that Beast sustained a leg injury early into the first set of tapings for the revised show, and caused significant creative changes.
Beast, 45, had not wrestled anywhere else since the last set of tapings for WOW in Fall 2019, and there's no record of her working elsewhere at all. One talent called the injury "unfortunate" and speculated the real reason the subsequent tapings were delayed were to give Beast time to heal from the injury to be factored back in. Talent and staff were told COVID precautions were the reason, but the tapings were canceled so far ahead that many we spoke to didn't believe it.
