WWE Rumor Roundup: Another Superstar asks for release, backstage news on Randy Orton and more – 15th October 2019

Why Carmella and R-Truth were split in the WWE Draft

Carmella and R-Truth have been an incredible pair since they got together a couple of months back. They have been running around with the 24/7 Championship, entertaining the fans every single time.

However, all good things must come to an end and now, with the WWE Draft done, the duo have been put in different brands. R-Truth will be on Monday Night RAW while Carmella has moved to Friday Night SmackDown.

Wrestling Observer's Dave Melter had some backstage news on the split:

"If you remember the 24/7 title, the original idea came from the USA Network. It was like their idea, which is funny because the original idea was 'what can we do for the third hour of RAW from keeping you from tuning out?' And of course, within weeks, the title had nothing to do with the third hour of RAW but it is like a USA Network idea. So Ron Killings/R-Truth had to stay there but because Corey Graves got moved to SmackDown, so Carmella had to go there. So if you're wondering why they were broken up, that's the reason."
