Mark Middleton of WrestlingINC.com says that he has heard unconfirmed rumors that “Cowboy” James Storm will be working tomorrow night’s NXT TV tapings at Full Sail University in Orlando, Florida.
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.
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.’
During the Divas Championship contract signing on RAW, Paige made a controversial comment about Charlotte’s late brother that sparked a brawl between Charlotte & Paige.
During the segment, Charlotte got very emotional referencing her late brother (Reid Flair, who died on March 29, 2013 from an accidental overdose of heroin and prescription drugs), saying Paige was there for her when he died. Charlotte said she is here today because of him to fulfill his dream. Later, Paige insulted his memory in an attempt to rile Charlotte by saying he didn’t have much fight in him. Charlotte then lunged across the table after Paige and then a huge brawl ensued.
Reid and Charlotte’s mother, Elizabeth Fliehr, who is aslo Ric Flair’s ex-wife, was not very happy with the angle. She posted the following on Twitter:
