I just don't believe this. Straight up. They reversed the decision because they were afraid people on the internet would think they are the bad guys for splitting up a couple? No chance. It wouldn't be in the top 50 of reasons why people think WWE are the baddies.
I mean, there's another thread on the front page about them keeping Harper on the shelf for another year just to be pricks. And Lars ffs. You can say 'oh, that crazy Vince' or you can say that those things clearly don't add up.

I mean, even if Charlotte did play politics to keep her boyfriend on the same show as her (which it doesn't seem is the case), so? It's probably better for Andrade and Zelina's careers anyway. Seems like something that isn't gonna hurt anybody and keeps talent happy.

Arguably better for Cesaro, depending on what they do with him on Raw. But I quite liked The Bar as a tag team.

Nowhere in the article did it say Charlotte played backstage politics. I think that was sort of the point of Gizzark's comment; they moved the couple back together because people weren't happy but now there's something people can point to in all their claims of Charlotte's politics in every Charlotte thread we have, and we will never know peace again. Exactly so. Charlotte is my queen - and now we have one actual news story of something changing backstage to suit her needs, the people who already accused her of using her pull now have 'enough' evidence to go HAM on that particular conspiracy theory.

Its a dick move to break up couples with the brand stuff. I dont care if Charlotte played politics, or they didnt want to look bad, or Fox, they should let couples stay together while they work them into the ground like cattle.

Listen, I know the stigma against playing politics, but I find it much more preferable to Vince trying to break up real life relationships because he doesn't get it.

Charlotte's one of those people who is disliked strongly enough by some that they will go to whatever insane reachy lengths they have to to make up reasons why their dislike is justified and pure and true. THe side factor of them also making moves and even seemingly breaking up a team so Zelina and Black can be together is going to get drowned out entirely.

If true, I don’t think anyone should have that much power to get upset enough to make the company reverse their decision.

Now we have the first ever actual example of Charlotte playing politics and everything is ruined forever. Hey, if her politics gets Andrade back onto the show where he can actually sniff a world title, then I'm all for it.

FOX also had a hand in it as well due to wanting more of a Latin representation on their Spanish channel. And even if she did, so? It’s her boyfriend. The person she loves.

I don't know where the line is about how serious a couple has to be in order to determine directions in the booking (like moving a wrestler to another brand) because what if they break up 3 weeks later. It's not as serious as a commitment as a marriage (unless you are Ric Flair)

Fox wanted Andrade for Latin viewers and Black got moved as well because his wife manages Andrade
Charlotte gets her boo back and Black gets away from Ricochet and also stays with his wife

For real tho, Charoltte got her main ting back on her brand within...a week? Maybe less?
That's right up there with HHH forcing Eric Bischoff to bring him back to Raw by giving up three dudes. Tremendous flex. Your fave could never have that kind of clout. She's truly a GOAT.

Relationship status doesn’t automatically make it okay to get your way. If I work at the same job with my wife, should I have the right to go complain to my boss about us working in different departments just because she’s my wife and I love her? No. Because it’d most likely get me fired if I did. I’d do my job and see my wife when I got home.

The problem with that is damn near everyone in a relationship in WWE is with that person on the same show WWE probably took it for granted and I assume Charlotte was unhappy but said whatever she going see her mans regardless. Fox put the pressure on and it made it happen so all parties are happy If you’re a married couple, WWE will continue to make sure you are on the same show, same can’t be said for those only dating but that’s slowly coming around

Being on different brands means working different circuits in different cities and on different schedules through the week. Alexa and Murphy being on separate brands has left them with so little time together that they have put their engagement on pause. This isn't about hanging out during breaks this is about being able to even have the level of contact where a relationship is a possibility. The more comparable situation is them asking you to move to work in another office in another city, and you saying no because you'd be apart from your family.
