Welcome to the Grapevine! This section of Smark Henry is where we round up all the important founded and unfounded rumors floating around the pro wrestling scene that you may have missed over the past few days. Remember to take everything with a grain of salt!
Charlotte Flair return update
There are already plans for Charlotte Flair's return to RAW, and they don't include fiance Andrade. Rumors were going around that Flair and Andrade would be paired, but they were apparently shot down before they were pitched to her. Flair reportedly insisted on long-term plans before returning, and will probably be back at around Royal Rumble. (Source: ITR Wrestling)
We say: Seems pretty legit, and good for Charlotte to demand an actual story instead of rushing and winging her comeback.
Snoop Dogg has heat with WWE
Snoop Dogg apparently has heat with WWE after signing on to perform at Dynamite on January 6. People are "very upset" at this appearance. (Source: Wrestling Observer Radio)
We say: Does anyone honestly think Uncle Snoop gives a fuck about people in WWE being upset? Does the man have a WWE contract?
Note on new Big E theme
WWE officials were apparently the ones who wanted a new theme for Big E. However, working with Wale, a friend of the New Day, for the theme was E's idea, proving that the company is receptive to wrestlers' input with their themes at the very least. The new theme was supposed to debut during E's feud with Sheamus but it still had to be tweaked and finalized. (Source: Fightful Select)
We say: Can't wait to hear the full track on Spotify and have it broken down on Theme Song Tuesday!
