Here are some of the latest WWE rumors that are floating around.
5) Reason Why Some Superstars Were Released
According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, there were a few Superstars who complained about their booking, which contributed to them being released by WWE.
Here is what Meltzer said (via Wrestletalk).
“There were a couple of people that got cut because of… how would I say it? I heard this about two different people, about just… one person was pouting that they weren’t on WrestleMania. That did not help them. And another person had kinda complained about their booking. When you’re marginal talent that’s not being used and then you complain about it, it’s not like you’re a top guy, and that didn’t help their cause either. So that was some of it.”
My Take:
- I definitely think this is true. I wasn’t buying that the releases were strictly due to budget-related reasons. Other factors were obviously at play.
4) Scrapped Plans For Chelsea Green
Chelsea Green was recently interviewed on Fightful Select. During this, Chelsea revealed that there were rumors that she was going to become Charlotte Flair’s protégé on WWE television.
Here is what she said:
“I was just kind of starting to get a little momentum. So, I didn’t hear anything. Funny enough, when I was out there at the very end of the match, I heard Charlotte; Charlotte raised my hand and said something. Said something like, ‘She is going to be next…’, or something along the line that made me think that I was going to be partnered with her or I was going to be her protege. And then, is that the right word? Protege? Yeah! And then I kind of heard rumblings of that in the weeks after that I was going to be, I don’t want to say the next Charlotte, but coming up behind her, with her as my mentor, which is amazing. Like, I don’t know if you can get a better spot than that. And, then, kind of radio silence until the next storyline I heard about. I heard about a lot of storylines.”
My Take:
- I definitely think that WWE gave up on Chelsea too soon. I think that she has a bright future.
