You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On Flair’s recovery status: “I don’t know. [laughs] You’re talking about Charlotte, you’re not talking about my wife. If you’re asking me about my wife, I cannot tell you. Charlotte, I don’t know.”
On how Flair has been doing during her time away: “She misses the performance, she misses the ring, she misses everything. But, for my wife it’s hard being home, because now she’s still home and just training and training … She goes, ‘Let’s go workout. Let’s go workout. I need my rehab. I need this.’ The wrestling is to continue. It’s hard for me and it’s hard for her. Because for her it’s the first surgery … It’s hard for her… This week, she was fine. It’s maybe the ninth ‘Mania for her, so it’s the first time that she’s missed WrestleMania after she went to the main roster.”
In the world of professional wrestling, there are always changes happening behind the scenes. Recently, another top executive has departed from WWE, adding to the ongoing shake-ups within the company. EVP of Talent Relations Dan Ventrelle was released from WWE, and now it has been reported that Senior Vice President of Athlete ID & Development Trent Wilfinger has also been let go.
Wilfinger joined WWE in the summer of 2021 and worked under Paul Levesque, also known as Triple H, on Global Athlete Strategy & Development. His departure comes as a surprise to many, as he had only been with the company for a relatively short period of time. The reasons behind his release have not been disclosed.
While the departure of top executives may raise questions about the direction of WWE, fans are also interested in the well-being of their favorite wrestlers. Andrade, a former WWE superstar, recently spoke about his wife Charlotte Flair’s recovery status and how she has been coping with being away from the ring.
During an appearance on “The Ringer Wrestling Show,” Andrade shared some insights into Flair’s current situation. When asked about her recovery status, Andrade playfully responded, “I don’t know. You’re talking about Charlotte, you’re not talking about my wife.” It seems that Andrade wants to keep his wife’s personal life separate from her professional career.
However, Andrade did reveal that Flair misses performing in front of the WWE Universe and being in the ring. He explained that while she is at home, she is constantly training and working on her rehab. Flair’s dedication to her craft is evident as she pushes herself to get back into wrestling shape. Andrade mentioned that this is the first time Flair has had to miss WrestleMania since joining the main roster, making it a particularly challenging time for her.
Flair’s absence from the ring has left fans wondering when they will see her back in action. Her recovery process is undoubtedly a crucial aspect of her return, and it is clear that she is determined to get back to doing what she loves. As fans eagerly await her comeback, they can take solace in knowing that Flair’s passion for wrestling remains strong.
As the wrestling world continues to evolve, with executives leaving WWE and wrestlers recovering from injuries, fans can expect more surprises and changes in the future. The departure of top executives like Dan Ventrelle and Trent Wilfinger may have an impact on the company’s operations, but the resilience of WWE and its wrestlers will undoubtedly keep the industry thriving.
