WWE announced Nia Jax, Shayna Baszler and Nikki Cross won't wrestle at Clash of Champions on Sunday night after failing to receive the necessary medical clearance.

As a result, the promotion removed the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship match from the card. Bayley will need another challenger for the SmackDown women's title as well.

This comes after Wrestling Observer Radio's Dave Meltzer (via Sai Mohan of Wrestling Inc) reported WWE was dealing with a COVID-19 outbreak among members of the NXT roster and that the effects may have impacted the Raw and SmackDown rosters as well.

The promotion indicated it will provide more information about the WWE women's tag title picture Monday night on Raw, which seemingly hints that a big change could be in store regarding the current champions.
