#5 Andrade talks about the backstage jealousy Charlotte Flair has to face in WWE
Charlotte Flair's fiance Andrade recently opened up about the jealousy that Charlotte Flair has to face in WWE. Speaking to Lucha Libra Online, he also talked about an unfortunate incident where someone took photos of Charlotte Flair while she was changing in the locker room:
"She's had problems backstage. One time someone took a photo of her when she was changing. We know who but she didn't want to say anything and WWE didn’t know about it."
Andrade said that there are only a handful of Superstars in the women's locker room who can perform as Flair can. However, they still criticize her and think that she is handed opportunities because of her last name.
"They have a lot of jealousy towards her. They look at her as just the daughter of Ric Flair. I know she's a good wrestler and she has earned her spot in WWE. There is a lot of jealousy. After matches, a lot of people say she works stiff." H/T: WrestlingNews.co
Charlotte Flair was rumored to be facing Asuka at WrestleMania 37, however, Flair has been dropped from WrestleMania 37 due to health concerns and replaced with Rhea Ripley in the match with Asuka.
#4 Andrade decided to leave WWE after a conversation with Randy Orton
Speaking to Lucha Libre Online, Andrade discussed why he decided to leave WWE. El Idolo revealed that a conversation with Randy Orton made him realize that he needed to quit the company.
Andrade stated that Randy Orton had always been good to him. On one occasion, Orton asked him why WWE wasn't using him. Andrade had no answer to this question but decided that things needed to change. It was soon after that that he asked for his release from WWE:
"A lot of people treated me well, Drew too and Randy Orton. [Randy] would ask me, 'Why aren't they using you?' I didn't know what to say and didn't know what was going on. After that, I made the decision [to leave]." (H/T Fightful)
#4 Bobby Lashley wants Lio Rush back in WWE
WWE Champion Bobby Lashley recently spoke about his former manager Lio Rush while on The Battleground Podcast. Lashley said that he always liked Rush and wants him back in the company.
When asked about the Superstars who could be joining The Hurt Business in the future, Lashley was keen on the former Cruiserweight Champion returning:
"Can't speculate and throw stuff out because I don't know where we're going, it's only fantasy booking. I don't know where Lio [Rush] is at. I like Lio and always loved Lio. Bring him back."
Lio Rush is currently working for MLW where he holds the Middleweight Championship.
#2 Vince McMahon was unhappy with Edge's segment with John Cena Sr in WWE
Former WWE Champion John Cena's father, John Cena Sr., recently spoke to SportsKeeda Wrestling on the latest edition of UnSKripted. He talked about his son's iconic rivalry with Edge in 2006, and how he played a part in it as well.
Speaking about the infamous segment where Edge slapped him, he said that the moment was not choreographed or pre-planned. He admitted that Vince McMahon did not like it at all:
''Vince McMahon thought that was the worst thing in the world. However, do you notice how much mileage they got out of that slap? ‘Cena’s down! Cena’s down! Cena’s down!’
Though it may seem like an unplanned slap to the face might have hurt John Cena Sr., he really enjoyed being part of the WWE segment:
''I had a lot of fun doing it, but yeah, that’s something that wasn’t choreographed, I’ll tell you that. It was that, ‘You’re gonna slap me in the face.’ And I can tell you this, when he turned around and slapped me in the face, no choreography there, man, I took it.”
Edge cemented himself as one of the best heels in WWE at the time. With the change in his persona over the past few weeks, it looks like The Rater R Superstar is moving in that same direction once again.
#1 WWE Superstar Roman Reigns gives his honest opinion on Paul Heyman
Roman Reigns has been ruling SmackDown ever since he returned to WWE last year. With Paul Heyman and Jey Uso by his side, The Tribal Chief has looked indestructible as the Universal Champion.
During an interview with ESPN's Ariel Helwani, Roman Reigns thanked Vince McMahon and Paul Heyman for his recent success. The former WWE Champion admitted that his pairing with Heyman was Vince McMahon's idea. He also stated that without Heyman, his character would not have shined as it does:
"To be honest, I mean if I have to give credit to anybody, I'd say Vince. But it wouldn't have happened if we weren't on board and if Paul was like 'no way' or I was like 'no way, it wouldn't have happened. But ultimately a decision like that it goes back to the big man."
Roman Reigns will be defending the WWE Universal Championship against Edge and Daniel Bryan on the second night of WrestleMania 37. It will be interesting to see how Paul Heyman plays a role in the WrestleMania match.
