Why Charly Caruso Is Off WWE TV; Heat With Some Wrestlers
If you've been missing Charly Caruso of late, there's a reason she's been absent from WWE TV. Fightful heard from several sources on Raw that she gained heat backstage after consistently being late to conduct interviews meant for Raw. We're told that there were specific instances with Randy Orton and Sheamus that led to WWE taking her off television for the time being. The belief among the talent roster is that her WWE contract expires soon, but there's no word on her future with the company. We're told that Vince McMahon got word of the tardiness himself and took exception to the situation, but another name in the company said she's one injury or illness away from being back in the fold. The same source also indicated us that Kevin Patrick being brought in was seen as a direct replacement to her.
A new report from Mike Johnson of PWInsider notes that Caruso is not expected to return to WWE television and will be departing the company once her contract expires.
Charly Caruso started in 2016 with NXT and was most recently used as the host of WWE kickoff panels Renee Young’s departure from WWE television.
Outside of WWE, Charly also does some work for ESPN.
