#4. Hope isn't true: Backstage heat responsible for Charly Caruso's WWE departure

Charly Caruso was one of WWE's most important on-screen interviewers over the last few years of programming. Coming from a sports background, she grew in WWE and was considered a mainstay - and perhaps even Renee Young's successor.

However, things haven't played out as expected. Caruso, who also has a job with ESPN, isn't expected to be with WWE for much longer. There were reports that Charly Caruso had backstage heat, particularly in two instances with Randy Orton and Sheamus.

After showing up late on numerous occasions, it appears as though WWE may let her contract expire and opt not to renew it. Dave Meltzer revealed on WOR that the early speculation was that she was fired, but that may not be the case. There is, however, a lot of reported backstage heat with her:

“I heard she was fired and then other people reported that she’s just not gonna be used and they are gonna wait for her contract to be out. I don’t know which one of those is accurate. She had too much heat with too many different people and that was the story. That’s why the new guy was brought in to replace her.”

We hope this isn't true because Charly Caruso was one of the better interviewers that WWE had backstage. However, her job with ESPN may guarantee that she doesn't need WWE going forward.
