#9 How former WWE Superstar brought Andrade and Charlotte Flair together backstage

Karl Anderson acted as Andrade's wingman in WWE

WWE Superstar Charlotte Flair’s relationship with Andrade is no secret. The latter recently spoke with Hugo Savinovich of Lucha Libre Online and revealed who helped bring them together. As it turns out, it was none other than former WWE Superstar Karl Anderson. Andrade stated that Anderson wanted to introduce him to someone after they finished WWE RAW tapings in England.

Andrade never expected that he would meet Charlotte Flair and both WWE Superstars were a little awkward at first since they worked together. Anderson helped set up their first meeting outside of their respective characters. Following that, it didn’t take Flair and Andrade much time to get comfortable with each other.

WWE recently released Andrade, and the latter has several options to explore for himself. As for Charlotte Flair, she recently tested positive for COVID-19 and is tipped to miss WWE’s biggest pay-per-view of the year, WrestleMania, this time.

#10 WWE Superstars’ backstage reaction to The Undertaker and Michelle McCool’s relationship revealed

The Undertaker and Michelle McCool have been married for more than a decade

Former WWE Diva Layla recently made an appearance on Vickie Guerrero’s “Excuse Me” podcast. During their conversation, Layla revealed how superstars reacted backstage in WWE when they first found out that The Undertaker and Michelle McCool were together.

Layla revealed that several people accused McCool of getting preferential treatment because of her relationship with The Undertaker. Layla confirmed that McCool never took backstage advantage of her relationship and worked very hard for everything in WWE. Here’s what Layla had to say:

“Michelle and I got told no many times. It wasn’t like we got what we wanted. It wasn’t like that. I can promise you that. I was there. I’m just going to be really honest about this. Michelle being married to Taker, or his girlfriend, I think at the time. Eventually, their marriage was a little bit after that; people were like, ‘Oh, she’s going to get whatever she wants.’ I was there to witness it. That was not the case. It had nothing to do with that.

Michelle McCool and The Undertaker tied the knot in 2010. McCool bowed out of the squared circle a year after their wedding but continued to support The Undertaker during his matches. She was also one of the iconic female WWE Superstars who returned for the 2018 edition of the Women’s Royal Rumble.
