We are back with another exciting WWE News Roundup to look at the top stories that recently made headlines. Roman Reigns recently spoke about a possible new career move outside of WWE.
A WWE legend expressed his desire to have another WrestleMania match before retirement. Meanwhile, another WWE legend admitted that he stole an idea from Bret Hart and Goldberg. Charly Caruso revealed the real reason behind her sudden exit from WWE. Paige also gave an update on her potential in-ring return.
In addition to a few other top stories, let's dive straight into the latest WWE News Roundup.
#1 Carmella reveals her honest thoughts on firing Reginald in WWE
Last month, Carmella fired Reginald from his job as her sommelier on WWE SmackDown.
During the latest episode of WWE's The Bump, Carmella spoke in character about her short-lived association with Reginald on WWE television:
"I have nothing to say about Reginald. I feel like I took a chance on him. I brought him into the WWE, gave him a spotlight, let him know what it was like to be a WWE Superstar. So many people are vying for that position, and I gave that to him, took a chance on him, and he failed me."
"Anyone should be lucky enough to be able to hang out with Carmella all the time. But instead, he was too busy walking around [and] trying to find Sasha Banks."
Carmella said she had to perform Reginald's duties in addition to her own responsibilities as a WWE Superstar, as the latter was distracted by Sasha Banks all the time.
As a result, she fired Reginald and decided to rely on herself from that moment onward.
While Reginald has since joined forces with WWE Women's Tag Team Champion Nia Jax, Carmella's role on SmackDown has gradually diminished in recent memory.
#2 Mick Foley admits that he stole an idea from Bret Hart and Goldberg
At WrestleMania 22, Edge and Mick Foley collided in a Hardcore match. During Foley's appearance on WWE's The Bump, he admitted to recreating an iconic WCW moment between Bret Hart and Goldberg in his WrestleMania 22 match.
During an in-ring confrontation with Goldberg in 1999, Hart wore a steel plate under his hockey jersey on WCW Monday Nitro. As a result, Goldberg crashed into the steel plate when he speared Hart.
At WrestleMania 22, Foley wore barbed wire instead of a steel plate and recreated the iconic WCW moment with Edge.
“I’m admitting I stole that spot from Bret Hart and Bill Goldberg. Jake Roberts told me in 1992 that a wise man knows where to steal his material. WCW had done a great spot – we call it a spot – where Goldberg had speared Bret, but Bret had a 25-pound weight taped to his midsection. So [I thought] it worked with a 25-pound weight, it would work with barbed wire as well, so obviously I wasn’t comfortable those first few moments, but I guess I was luring Edge into the spear.”
Mick Foley added that WWE fans reacted positively to this spot at The Show of Shows. Additionally, Foley and Edge's Hardcore clash went down as one of the best WrestleMania matches of all time.
#3 Andrade reveals the details of his last conversation with Triple H in WWE
In a conversation with Sportskeeda Wrestling's Riju Dasgupta, former WWE Superstar Andrade discussed various topics.
Andrade revealed the surprising details behind his last conversation with Triple H. Apparently, Triple H mentioned a potential return to NXT for Andrade:
"The last conversation with Triple H, he told me that I want you to go back to NXT because I'm a Superstar in NXT. I said let me think about it..."
Andrade also thanked Paul Heyman and Triple H for supporting him as a performer. The Mexican star said Heyman believed in him during his time on Monday Night RAW. Meanwhile, Andrade praised Triple H as an amazing presence in WWE:
"Triple H, when he sees me...he says hello, hugs me. He has been an amazing presence since the time I was in NXT to the main roster."
#4 Charly Caruso says she had no issues during her time in WWE
It was recently announced that Charly Arnolt a.k.a. Charly Caruso is leaving WWE to pursue a full-time position with ESPN. Rumors indicated that the backstage interviewer had heat with several people in WWE.
However, Caruso spoke to Scott Fishman of TVInsider.com and dismissed such rumors:
“There is always going to be chatter. The contract was coming up. Instead of renewing, I’m moving on. Everyone is going to have their own opinions regardless. I never had any issues while I was at WWE. Nothing bad happened. As far as I’m concerned, I’m leaving on a positive note and beginning what I believe to be the next step in my career.”
Charly Caruso said she left WWE on a positive note instead of renewing her contract with the company. Let's hope she finds success in the next phase of her career.
RAW Talk's new host Kevin Patrick was recently signed by WWE as a replacement for Caruso.
#5 "We were never on the same page" — Jerry Lawler on real-life animosity with WWE SmackDown commentator Michael Cole
During the recent edition of WWE's The Bump, Jerry Lawler discussed his longtime equation with Michael Cole.
Lawler revealed that both of them had issues behind-the-scenes several years ago:
“I knew that there was animosity or whatever between Michael Cole and I from the first moment I met him, the first time I shook hands with Michael Cole. We were never on the same page. Even though we worked together for so many years, side by side, I always felt that little bit of underlying animosity there from Michael. Then it finally just spilled over [and became a storyline].”
Jerry Lawler and Michael Cole got involved in a feud with each other in December 2010. Their feud led to a singles match at WrestleMania 27 with Stone Cold Steve Austin as the special guest referee.
Lawler originally won this match, but this decision was reversed by the Anonymous RAW General Manager, who awarded the victory to Cole instead. After WrestleMania, Lawler defeated Cole in a Kiss My Foot match at WWE Over The Limit 2011 to eventually win their whole rivalry.
Michael Cole also spoke about their WrestleMania match on The Bump, confirming that he and Jerry Lawler are now good friends.
#6 WWE RAW Superstar Alexa Bliss reveals Murphy's reaction to her workout photos
Alexa Bliss recently revealed on Twitter that her ex-boyfriend, Murphy, sends her texts whenever she posts workout pictures or photos of her gym equipment.
Bliss said Murphy's curiosity mainly exists over whether she actually works out or only poses in the gym to take photos. Bliss jokingly tweeted that it's a 50/50 situation which depends on the day.
Bliss and Murphy were previously engaged, but their relationship ended in 2018. Both WWE Superstars continue to be good friends even after they split up from each other.
Alexa Bliss is currently engaged to American musician Ryan Cabrera.
#7 WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns believes a career in Hollywood could be a possibility
WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns recently spoke about a dream match against The Rock during an interview with Ariel Helwani on his MMA Show.
While on the subject of a match with The Rock, Reigns presented WrestleMania 39 as a potential stage for their clash. The event will take place in 2023 at the SoFi Stadium in California — marketed as WrestleMania Hollywood.
During the interview, Reigns expressed that people in his position typically end up in the film industry (Hollywood), and it seems like the "obvious next step" for him in his career.
“The following year (2023), I’m in his (The Rock) backyard. Imagine me with another couple of years with this dominance. In Hollywood, which God willing is the obvious next step if available and everything happens correctly. People in my position typically end up there. To be able to tell that story with him, it’d be cool.”
Roman Reigns was featured in "Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw" (2019), which included The Rock in the leading role. The following year, Reigns played a role in an American romantic comedy movie titled "The Wrong Missy".
#8 WWE veteran John Cena indirectly responsible for 8-year-old child saving his sister's life
John Cena was featured as a CPR instructor on an episode of a Nickelodeon show back in 2019. The show is called "The Substitute", and it featured a cameo from the WWE veteran, who taught a group of children how to perform chest compressions in case of a choking emergency.
Eight-year-old Jaxson Dempsey was recently on a family outing when his 20-month-old sister started choking on a chicken nugget. Fortunately, Dempsey had watched Cena's demonstration, which allowed him to save his sister's life. Here's what Jaxson Dempsey said about the whole incident:
"We were driving to my haircut, and I noticed she was starting to choke from a chicken nugget from McDonald's. I told my dad to pull over. Then I was starting to pat her back, and it got out."
"In the very first episode [of 'The Substitute'], John Cena was on it, and in the last part, he showed how to save someone when they're choking."
Although John Cena indirectly helped a young child save his sister's life in this case, the WWE veteran is quite well-known for his charity work over the years.
At the moment, the 16-time WWE World Champion is busy with numerous Hollywood projects.
#9 Jerry Lawler hopes to compete in another WWE match before retirement
Speaking on WWE's The Bump, Jerry Lawler made an interesting comment while talking about his WrestleMania 27 match against Michael Cole.
Lawler said he wishes to have one more match at WWE WrestleMania before he retires from professional wrestling.
“It was really an honor for me too, especially not just to be in the same ring with Michael, but to be in the same ring with [special guest referee] Stone Cold Steve Austin. It was a great honor and it was something that I’ll never forget. I’m still hoping to get a rematch or at least another WrestleMania match under my belt before I call it a career in wrestling.”
Lawler's last WWE match occurred during an episode of Monday Night RAW in 2012. In the match, he teamed up with Randy Orton to defeat CM Punk and Dolph Ziggler.
Later that same night, Lawler suffered a heart attack and collapsed at the commentary table.
The WWE Hall of Famer has wrestled sporadically in recent years. However, in 2019, Jerry Lawler revealed on his podcast that he wasn't cleared to wrestle in WWE by the company's doctors.
#10 "It does scare me" — Paige gives an update on her in-ring comeback in WWE
In 2018, two-time WWE Divas Champion Paige was forced to retire from in-ring competition because of a neck injury.
Paige was recently a guest on Renee Paquette’s Oral Sessions podcast and she provided a health update ahead of a potential in-ring return. Although Paige won't return to in-ring competition anytime soon, she said her neck feels good at the moment.
The popular star also sent a message on what to expect when she will be mentally ready to make an in-ring return:
“It [neck] feels good and, honestly, it actually scares me as well to maybe come back to wrestling because I really want to and I would come back tomorrow but I’m always gonna have in the back of my head, like what if something happens and I do get paralyzed? So it does scare me."
"I know I’m not gonna be fully ready mentally to come back, but watch out world! Because when I am mentally ready to come back, everyone’s in trouble!”
Paige will find out how much progress she has made in her recovery process as the star is set to receive a medical check-up soon.
