5 Wrestling rumors we hope are true and 5 we hope aren't: WWE star not leaving until 2024, 'Significantly lower' contracts given to 4 RAW stars?

#3. Hope isn't true: WWE planning more romantic angles?

WWE loves pulling the occasional romantic angle. While Rusev, Lana, and Bobby Lashley's love triangle got a lot of attention in late 2019 and early 2020, there hasn't been a major romantic storyline in WWE since.

Ric Flair and Lacey Evans seem to have started a storyline on RAW, where he helped her defeat his daughter Charlotte Flair. According to Jim Ross on his podcast Grilling JR (via Cageside Seats), WWE is reportedly looking to do more romantic angles:

On a recent edition of his Grilling JR podcast, Jim Ross mentioned he’d heard WWE is looking to do more romance angles. This could help explain the pairing of Ric Flair & Lacey Evans.

We hope this isn't true because WWE is doing fine without any major romantic storyline. There hasn't been great reception to the Ric Flair-Lacey Evans storyline on RAW. While romantic storylines do get a lot of attention, it doesn't add much to WWE programming.
