1) Charlotte Flair Clears Up Pregnancy Rumors
Andrade recently did an interview, which has caused quite the stir. Andrade was interpreted to say that Charlotte Flair was told by WWE that she was pregnant, which led to them pulling her from Wrestlemania 37. After taking further tests, it was revealed that Charlotte was not actually pregnant.
Charlotte’s team provided the following statement to Alex McCarthy about Andrade’s comments, which they say were “lost in translation”:
What Manny [Andrade] said about the pregnancy test in today’s interview is true, but a significant amount of context is lost in translation and we’d like to clear that up as best we can.
A few weeks ago, Charlotte received a call from WWE medical telling her that her HCG levels had come back high and she was being medically suspended for pregnancy.
That day, she took several home tests that all came back negative. A few days later, blood work and ultrasound confirmed there was no pregnancy. This was before any issues with Covid (she is currently medically clear).
This put a lot in context for her, mainly how small a woman’s career window is. The men are able to work well into their 50s while the women are seen as “older” in their early 30s even. For an athlete in her prime, these years mean everything.
Her issue was with the process and how the information was relayed as opposed to the information itself.
My Take:
- Seems like WWE did the right thing in terms of medically suspending her just in case. I am glad that Charlotte came out and cleared everything up though as the original story made it seem a lot worse on WWE’s doctors.
