Andrade Discusses His WWE Release, Who influenced Him And More!
We’re starting today with Charlotte Flair, who was removed from WrestleMania one day after her fiancé Andrade’s release, a decision mainly
down to Charlotte testing positive. This positive test has been confirmed by Flair herself, but Andrade has said that there’s
more to this situation than first reported, as he told Lucha Libre Online: About three weeks ago, it was a Wednesday
afternoon, like 7 or 8 PM, they called her and it was the same doctor [who informed Andrade of the positive drug test that resulted in his 2020
WWE Wellness Policy suspension]. She was a little scared, asking, ‘What’s happening, what’s going on?’ They told her that she was pregnant.
“She was confused because we went to a pharmacy. We bought pregnancy tests and everything went negative. How does a doctor,
supposedly one of the best, go and tell her that? It was the same doctor who said I tested positive. Was that a lie too? WWE didn’t do anything about,
no blood testing to make sure. So, it fell on us to go the next day and get tested to see if she was really pregnant. We did that on our own. Only
then afterwards, WWE offered to help. But they took her out of storylines because ‘she wasn’t cleared because she was pregnant.’ Four days
after more testing, WWE didn’t say anything. They pulled her out of storylines.”
Though Flair is not pregnant, there’s no way she could be put back into storylines, as she’s since been replaced in the RAW Women’s
title picture by Rhea Ripley. In a statement of her own to talkSPORT, Flair said that she had been called by WWE telling
her her HCG levels were high, a typical sign of pregnancy, though a few days later, blood work and an ultrasound confirmed that
she isn’t expecting. This pregnancy scare happened before Flair tested positive though, so even though
it wasn’t real, odds are she still would’ve been pulled from WrestleMania. The TalkSPORT report added that this
pregnancy scare also put into perspective with Flair just how small a woman’s window is in wrestling, as whilst men can continue
competing into their 50s, women are seen as older, even in their early 30s. Flair didn’t appear on RAW last night, and it
seems unlikely she’ll be added to WrestleMania, but what do you mean to this pregnancy scare situation and WWE’s doctor? Let us know in
the comments.
Flair won’t be the big name absent from WrestleMania, as ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin won’t be appearing next month either.
Speaking to Wrestling Inc, Austin confirmed he wont’ be at WrestleMania 37, and said that no attempt was even made for him to appear:
They didn’t reach out to me this year. I think they got their hands full with what they’re doing. I think it only makes sense for me to
come back maybe in Texas… I’ll be watching. I’m okay not being there.” It makes sense for Austin to be in his
home-state for WrestleMania 38 next year, which’ll happen on April 3rd 2022, but there won’t be any stone-cold-stunners or beer
bashes at this year’s show.
Over to RAW, and during the three-hour show, Drew McIntyre had to contend with the bounty on his head by WWE Champion Bobby Lashley,
and speculation ran rampant on who would collect it. Samoa Joe was missing from commentary
after all, so fans speculated it would be him, or perhaps Brock Lesnar would return to take revenge on the man who dethroned him at
WrestleMania 36, setting up the long-awaited dream match against Lashley for next month.
What fans got instead was King Corbin.
That’s not to say Corbin isn’t good at his job, but even he would admit that his arrival would not go down in the list of all-time great surprises.
Corbin’s appearance only stung more given that the wildly-popular Hurt Business was ended by Lashley this week, as WWE seems
to see Corbin as the solution to fix something that didn’t need to be fixed at all. What do you think of this, and do you want to
see Corbin challenge Lashley at WrestleMania instead? Sound off in the comments.
It wasn’t long after RAW that Lashley addressed what happened, as he took to Twitter to give fans a blast from the past.
On social media, Lashley shared an image of when he, McIntyre and Corbin teamed together, a stable so forgettable, even we, a YouTube
channel 100% dedicated to wrestling, forgot it existed. With a big X over McIntyre, it seems that
Lashley feels he’s done with the Scotsman, and we’ll have to see what the plan is now for their title match at WrestleMania.
If McIntyre had the worse night on RAW, U.S. Champion Riddle didn’t fare much better, as his performance last night left a lot to be desired.
In a backstage segment between champions, Riddle asked RAW Women’s Champion Asuka if Scooters are big in Japan, but forgot the rest
of his lines. Saying he forgot what he was saying, Riddle rode off screen, leaving a stunned Asuka,
and we doubt botching his lines made Vince McMahon very happy. It’s possible that this was a deliberate slip-up
though we can’t imagine why WWE would do that, and let’s see if Riddle can make it to his U.S title match with Sheamus at WrestleMania
without any more botches.
WrestleMania will see Bad Bunny and The Miz face off, and things got very real during their RAW confrontation last night.
Miz and John Morrison instigated things with their new song ‘Hey Hey Hop Hop’, which poked fun at the Grammy-award winning rapper,
and when Bunny promised to make Miz his you-know-what at WrestleMania, the A-Lister got clocked with a very real punch.
Fans could hear a sickening sound as Bad Bunny’s fist collided with the Miz’s jaw, and Twitter exploded with people saying that
Bad Bunny’s punches were better than most of the roster. The reason his punches look better is because
they’re real, and whilst The Miz was the constant professional and continued the segment, a receipt could be coming for
Bad Bunny at WrestleMania. Despite what Jim Cornette believes, funny can make money in wrestling, but that funny needs to actually
BE funny. That wasn’t the case on RAW this week, when the New Day, AJ Styles and Omos competed
in a special game night, which seemed more appropriate on Nickelodeon TV, not the penultimate episode of RAW before WWE’s
biggest show of the year, the first event in OVER A YEAR with live fans. Even the most ardent fans will struggle to
defend this segment, which we’ll remind you had two former WWE World Champions, and this week’s RAW also saw Shane
McMahon reveal Braun Strowman’s report card. Childish stuff that only hurts the character
of Strowman, we can only hope this ends with their Steel Cage match at WrestleMania, and are you excited to see Shane and Braun collide
next month? Let us know in the comments.
Last December, Brodie Lee tragically died aged 41, but his memory lives on in wrestling
Recently, CM Punk commented on the feud between Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton, saying he tried to warn the Viper about Wyatt,
a tweet that caught the former Universal Champion’s attention. In a tweet of his own, Wyatt posted a photo
of Punk being restrained by himself, Erick Rowan and Luke Harper, saying “Brodie would hate to see us fighting.”
Unsurprisingly, this has led to some talk from fans of Punk returning to WWE and feuding with The Fiend, but for now, this tweet is just
some playful banter between two former rivals.
Punk may not be returning but Edge has, and will headline WrestleMania 37 in the Universal Championship triple-threat match.
Since his 2011 retirement, a lot has changed in WWE, and the Rated-R Superstar isn’t a fan of some of those changes.
Speaking to Out of Character, Edge discussed wrestlers not selling moves as much anymore, and gave the example of wrestlers getting up
immediately after a German Suplex. Edge argued that this conditions audiences to think moves don’t hurt, but said that taking a
Suplex sucks, so they should sell it like they suck. It’s been 23 years since Edge debuted for
WWE, so he’s got a lot of advice for other wrestlers, so don’t expect to see him no-sell a German Suplex at WrestleMania, and he
doesn’t care to see anyone else do it either.
Impact Wrestling news next, as Eric Young has done well in the company since he was released from WWE last April, but now all
plans for him have been put on hold.
This week, Young confirmed that he tore his AL at the last taping, and added that this Friday will be the first time he’s missed a wrestling
show he was booked on in his 24-year career. Impact tapes a month’s worth of TV at a time, so it’s still possible for fans to see EY in the
next couple of weeks, but he won’t be in action. Gifted on the mic, Impact could certainly keep Young around, cutting promos for his stable,
valine buy dieign but for the next few months, the former World Champion won’t be competing.
Last week, Uber Eats driver Mohammad Anwar was tragically killed when two girls, aged 13 and 15 allegedly used a taser on
him during a botched car theft. Since then, a GoFundMe has been set up for Anwar’s family, and Chris Jericho donated in
a big way. Donating $2,500, Jericho told TMZ that Anwar’s situation hit him hard.
At this time, both suspects have been charged with felony murder and armed carjacking and they are currently incarcerated and awaiting trial.
Back to the ring, and whilst NWA Women’s Champion Serena Deeb the woman she won the title from Thunder Rosa, .
No strangers to AEW TV , don't expect to see certain top star of the national wrestling alliances in dialy's space
Whilst speaking to Top Guys on AdFreeShows. com, NWA World Heavyweight Champion Nick Aldis was asked about possibly going to AEW,
something that Aldis quickly dismissed. Explaining himself, Aldis said he’s too focussed right now working on building the NWA brand
but said he would go if the money was right down the line. Aldis said he isn’t going to jump ship just to
get fans on the internet talking, and whilst those fans may hope to see Aldis tear things up with Cody Rhodes, Kenny Omega or Jon Moxley,
that won’t be happening anytime soon.
Perhaps Andrade will be the next big name to be All Elite, as he isn’t subject to a 90-day non compete clause with WWE following his release
9 days ago. Speaking to Lucha Libre Online, Andrade discussed his final months in WWE, saying
that when the ongoing global situation started, he was partnered with then-WWE Champion Drew McIntyre, who wasn’t pleased to see
the former NXT Champion go unused for months. He explained: 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].”
It was that question that ultimately made Andrade decide he had to leave, and he added that when WWE finally let him go,
he had tested positive. When discussing the hardest part of leaving, Andrade said it means he won’t be spending
as much time with his fiancé Charlotte Flair, but there’s also the loss of income to contend with. He explained:
I had a great contract with WWE, a great contract. Three million per year. Several million dollars per year, a lot more than
plenty of guys coming up from NXT. For reference, that’s more than what names like The Miz, Kevin Owens and The Unertaker
were paid by WWE in 2020. Andrade had gone unused since October 2020, and despite being cleared
post-surgery in November, the company didn’t use him. Now released, Andrade isn’t subject to a
90-day non-compete clause, so fans could see him very soon in another promotion.
Fans can still watch Andrade’s WWE tenure on Peacock, which is editing some controversial moments from the past,
but this isn’t just on the NBC-Universal service. Two moments that have been taken off
Peacock is Roddy Piper’s use of blackface during his WrestleMania 6 match with Bad News Brown, as well as Vince McMahon using
the n-word in 2005, during a segment with John Cena, Booker T and Sharmell. It’s now been confirmed that those moments
have been taken off of the WWE Network’s library as well, and though they’ll still exist in DVD releases and previous digital copies,
you can’t stream them anymore. The current plan is for WWE to have all it’s content on Peacock by Summerslam, but if
moments like Katie Vick or Kerwin White get the chop, odds are they’ll be taken off the remaining WWE Network too.
WWE isn’t just doing a deal with NBC- Universal, as Vince McMahon has now signed a partnership with the massively
fantasy betting website DraftKings. Now the official gaming partner of WWE, Draftkings will receive exclusive licesnses
to WWE mmedia assets, and the two sides will also join forces for what’s being described as “a number of integrated,
free-to-play pools contests and products.” This new partnership will kick off in time for WrestleMania 37, and it’ll be interesting to
see what kind of plans are in store between the two massively popular industries.
And we’re ending today’s video with news from Sting, who made his AEW wrestling debut earlier this month at Revolution.
Teaming up with Darby Allin to face Brian Cage and Ricky Starks, the four competed in a cinematic Street Fight, which was the best
way for the 62-year-old legend to avoid getting injured. Not only would Sing and Allin win, but the
match has been praised by fans and wrestlers alike, and it’s something Sting would love to do again.
Speaking to Bleacher Report, the Icon said he’d be down to do more cinematic matches, but said the two nights of filming for the match
was taxing on his body, and said he came out of it in shambles. Though a cinematic match is much safer for
Sting than a traditional match, that doesn’t mean it was any easier on his 62-year-old frame, and whilst he’s open to doing more
matches like this, it ultimately depends on how much his body, which has decades of ring-wear and tear, can take.
