Charlotte on Andrade Engagement Rumors
Rumors have arisen that Charlotte and Andrade are moving quickly in their relationship, with some believing they were engaged. Charlotte gave a statement on the matter to ProWrestlingSheet on the matter:
“Don’t believe everything you read online. Unless you read that I’m the most decorated women’s wrestler ever, because that is fact. 😀 No, we are not currently engaged.”
The couple has recently been reunited with Andrade moving back to SmackDown Live.

Undertaker & Angle Pulled from Starrcast
Two big WWE names will not be at Starrcast in Las Vegas on May 25th weekend. The two WWE Hall of Famers were pulled by WWE, according to a statement from event organizer Conrad Thompson to Sports Illustrated. Both were removed after signing new deals with WWE that allows them to restrict their appearances outside of the company.
As first reported by @JustinBarrasso for @SI_wrestling, regrettably, WWE has pulled both The Undertaker & Kurt Angle from appearing at Starrcast.
We are disappointed but excited to reveal a couple of surprises we have worked very hard to secure. Stay tuned for more information!
