Here are some of the latest WWE rumors that are floating around.
5) Update On The Charlotte Flair Rumors
According to a report from Inside The Ropes, WWE is NOT planning on pairing up Charlotte Flair and Andrade on television. This is something that was rumored for when Charlotte returns to the company.
Inside The Ropes also says that some long-term plans were laid out for Charlotte before she agreed to return:
Sources have told ITRWrestling.com that while that idea may have been kicked around, an on-screen partnership between Charlotte and Andrade will not be happening and didn’t even get as far as being pitched to Flair.
The plans for the return of Charlotte Flair are already locked in. Sources say The Queen insisted long-term plans were laid out before she returned to TV and it seems as though she has gotten her wish.
Andrade’s plans as of right now are completely separate. The former NXT champion dropped a self-produced video last week – which he narrated entirely in English – where he said wrestling was in his blood and he has to return because he was born to do it.
My Take:
- I miss Charlotte and am looking forward to seeing her back. I was hoping that they were going to pair her with Andrade because I would love to see him elevated.
4) The Plan For The Christmas Taping Of Smackdown
According to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE is taping the Christmas Day episode of Smackdown in advance.
The current plan is to tape the show on December 22nd or 23rd:
For the 12/25 Smackdown show, right now it will be taped either 12/22 or 12/23, most likely the latter day but it’s not official right now. Ringside News was the first to report it being a taped show
My Take:
- This makes sense. I am glad to see that the talent on Smackdown will be getting to spend the Holidays with their families this year.
