#5 Eric Bischoff unhappy with John Morrison's WWE release
John Morrison was a former IC Champion and one of the most athletic veterans on the roster. However, Johny Drip Drip was let go by the company this month. His release came as a big surprise to everyone as he is a tenured WWE superstar.
Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff spoke about his release during his podcast 83 weeks and said that the company should have used Morrison better.
''I remember John just doing a great job. He learned really quickly in terms of his mic work and his skills and his performance backstage… He’s got a great look, he was healthy, he wasn’t injury prone, open-minded guy, easy to work with, had a great sense of wanting to create a great character.'' said Bischoff
Bischoff also praised Morrison's character work and said that he understands the difference between his real personality and the character that he plays on television.
#4 WWE Superstar Charlotte Flair and Andrade's relationship in trouble
WWE Superstar Charlotte Flair and Andrade have been in a long-term relationship with each other. However, there is speculation that there may be trouble in paradise as the two have stopped following each other on social media. AEW Superstar Andrade also deleted some pictures with Flair.
There was much speculation about Charlotte Flair & Andrade El Idolo’s relationship status yesterday after the couple stopped following each other on social media. Andrade also deleted several recent pictures of the pair together from his Instagram.
The two were planning to get married soon and were already engaged to each other. It is unknown what the actual cause of the rift is or if there's one at all.
#3 Edge wants to renew his rivalry with Jeff Hardy in WWE
Speaking to SportsBible, Jeff Hardy revealed that his former rival Edge had expressed interest in renewing their rivalry in WWE. The two men have had multiple feuds during the span of their careers spanning back to the time when they were part of tag teams during the attitude era.
''Actually, last month I spoke to Edge and I think he said something, ‘I think we gotta do it one more time’. Totally. Even in the Rumble last year, I didn’t last no time – I was in and out and he won the Rumble. I had said beforehand that it would be cool if me and Edge had this face off, just for a moment because of our history.'' said Hardy
Hardy also admitted that in order for one more match to happen between Edge and himself, they both will have to be fit and healthy in order to give the fans a great match.

Big E reflected upon their time together in Developmental and said it was an honor for him to face Reigns at a WWE PPV.
"His strength and athleticism are real. "He even got me up in that powerbomb. I thought he was going to bail on it, but he had that second surge to get me up. Until you're in the ring with him, people just don't fully realize how good he is. He's an incredible performer on an incredible run, and you can't take away anything from him." said Big E
The WWE Champion compared his WWE journey with Roman Reigns and said that both of them were hungry for success during their early days in FCW.
