Andrade Breaks His Silence In First Post-WWE Interview
Former WWE star Andrade gave his first interview since leaving the promotion this evening with Hugo Savinovich of Lucha Libre’s Online.
During the interview, Andrade spoke candidly on his time with WWE, including his fiancee Charlotte Flair being pulled from Wrestlemania 37.
Andrade says the doctor, who said he tested positive for a substance leading to his suspension called Charlotte Flair, informing her she is medically disqualified to compete at Wrestlemania 37 due to pregnancy. He says Charlotte took home pregnancy tests, which all came back negative.
Alex McCarthy of talkSport was able to get a statement from Charlotte’s team, which provides some insight from WWE medical accidentally saying she was pregnant.
What Manny 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.
