Backstage News on WWE Plans for Charlotte

In case you didn’t get the news yesterday, WWE has released an official statement due to the response to the main event segment between Charlotte and Paige on Monday’s Raw.

WWE said the following in their 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.”

Much has been said about WWE’s use of the Fliehr family’s loss of Reid Flair two years ago in the feud between Charlotte and Paige, which will culminate in a WWE Divas Championship match this Sunday at “Survivor Series.”

However, new details have been released about the segment from this week’s Raw. According to Wrestling-Edge.com, the angle was almost dropped at the last minute due to the obvious uncertainty of the decision to use Reid Fliehr’s death.

It’s now being reported that Charlotte received her script with the mention of her deceased brother after her interview with ESPN earlier this week.

The promo and mention to Reid Fliehr was designed to gain the Charlotte sympathy from the WWE Universe to establish her as WWE Divas Champion and get the fans on her side going into “Survivor Series.”

The expectation is Charlotte will be the WWE Divas Champion for some time as a face, this mention of her brother will hopefully gain her sympathy to become the focal point of the Divas division.
