Backstage News On Controversial RAW Angle Between Charlotte & Paige

PWInsider reports that the controversial RAW ending with Paige and Divas Champion Charlotte, where Paige took a shot at Charlotte’s late brother Reid Flair, the idea to mention Reid was presented to Charlotte and she was able to give feedback on the angle, in terms of verbiage she would use and the way the angle was being presented.

The original idea reportedly came from something Charlotte mentioned to WWE creative, about how her entire career is a tribute to Reid. some parts of the angle were dropped throughout the day and other parts evolved. Charlotte was not forced into the segment and was given time to prepare to give feedback during the day.

The angle was discussed throughout the day and senior WWE creative members were against it. Some voiced their opinion to Vince McMahon, who ultimately made the call. There’s talk that the angle was actually pulled before RAW went on the air but Vince made the decision to keep it on the show.

WWE issued the following statement:

“Subject matter this personal is only approved as a result of the strong advocacy of the talent themselves. Notwithstanding that, WWE is ultimately responsible for what airs in its programming.”

Ric Flair says nobody asked him about the Charlotte and Paige segment 

 WrestlingInc.com is reporting that the nature boy Ric Flair apparently had no idea that the controversial segment that took place between his daughter WWE Divas champion Charlotte and Paige this past Monday was even going to happen.

In a segment that involved Paige making a joke about the passing of Reid Flair, caused a lot of waves and it also brought the hall of famer to tears. Ric mentioned on his Woo  nation podcast that he was never approached about the idea by anyone within the company before the segment took place nor afterwards.

Flair mentioned that his daughter Ashley (Charlotte’s real name) was probably to scared to say a thing. He continued by saying ““Obviously I have an opinion, but I’m afraid to voice it because I don’t want anything to affect Ashley’s career,I know that Hunter and Stephanie and Michael Hayes have her back. I don’t think she feels she’s comfortable enough to say ‘no’ to anything yet, she’s only been up there three-months”

He also states that just because Charlotte is the champion it doesn’t mean she could just say no. They can and will get rid of anyone. He described the situation being like a pressure cooker.  “If you’re asked to do something, that’s pretty much the way things operate up there. Everybody walks on pins and needles. Just because you’re the champ, doesn’t mean you say no. It’s a very sensitive issue, it’s very new. I know her mom is on fire. I’m not going out on a limb to say what I think.”

Flair clearly was unhappy about the situation but also added that he knows Hayes and Hunter would never do anything to intentionally hurt Charlotte. He went on to say “I don’t think it would’ve made a difference. . If they ask you to do something, what is she going to say? ‘No, I quit?,”

He ended by mentioning that he will indeed be in attendance at Survivor Series this Sunday so it’ll be interesting to see how this all plays out.

WWE Divas champion Charlotte makes her match with Paige at Survivor Series official 

 On the November 16th edition of Monday Night Raw the show closed with one of the most intense contract signings in history and what it made it all the more ground breaking is that it involved two women.

Things got pretty personal between the Divas Champion Charlotte and Challanger Paige who will meet each other in the ring this Sunday at Survivor Series.

Antics were questioned and friendship was thrown out the window. However what everyone is taking about today are the comments made about Charlotte’s late brother Reid. During the contact singing Paige said “your baby brother didn’t have much fight in him did he”?

Those comments sent the champion into a rage and an all out brawl broke loose. Charlotte was so upset that she didn’t even get to sign the contract.

Now thanks to Backstage fallout there’s video of the champ signing the contract and the match is now official.

Whether this segment was something you loved or hated one thing is for sure, people are now invested. This match matters and with all of those elements Paige and Charlotte are sure to have a barn burner this Sunday.’

Charlotte then lunged across the table after Paige and then a huge brawl ensued.
