WWE<\/a> Superstars often speak in media interviews about the real-life circumstances behind their storylines and matches.<\/p>\n

While this is a completely different approach to the limited amount of information that Superstars revealed in the 1980s and 1990s, it has given fans a better understanding of how WWE’s on-screen stories are told.<\/p>\n

For example, did you know that Ronda Rousey once asked WWE to change her opponent one day after a squash match at a pay-per-view? How about when The Undertaker told Vince McMahon that he wanted to face a future two-time WWE Champion, only to be given Giant Gonzalez as his opponent instead?<\/p>\n

In this article, let’s take a look at the full details behind those two stories, plus three others, as we count down five times that WWE Superstars asked to change their opponent.<\/p>\n

#5 Ronda Rousey asked to change her WWE opponent<\/h2>\n

Ronda Rousey<\/a> took part in the first women’s main event in WrestleMania history in 2019 when she faced Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair in a ‘Winner Take All’ Triple Threat match for the RAW Women’s Championship and SmackDown Women’s Championship.<\/p>\n

Seven weeks before WrestleMania, Rousey defended her RAW Women’s Championship in a convincing victory over Ruby Riott<\/a> at the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view.Unfortunately for both Superstars, they planned to have a much longer match but WWE’s decision-makers cut their time during the show, meaning Rousey picked up the win in just 100 seconds.<\/p>\n

Speaking on her Facebook Gaming<\/a> channel in 2020, Rousey revealed that she was originally due to face Alexa Bliss one night later on RAW, but she asked for her opponent to be changed to Riott.<\/p>\n

\n

“I was like, ‘Alexa, I love you, you know I love having matches with you, but me and Ruby have been putting this match together all week and we couldn’t do it at the pay-per-view because it had to be a squash, and would you mind if I went and requested that me and Ruby have a second match instead?’”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Bliss had no problem with the request from Rousey, who defeated Riott in a 12-minute match in the main event of RAW.<\/p>\n

\n

Summary: <\/strong>
