“So as my career grew, and listening to all these stories of these girls, how hard it was on the indies, spending their last dollar to go to camp, or doing all these things, I almost felt guilt. If I didn’t out-perform or if I didn’t overdeliver, if I didn’t do certain things, I had this guilt of like how I got to the dance.”
According to Charlotte, that sense of self-reproach manifested into physical apologies at one point, with the second-generation wrestler saying sorry for the opportunities that came attached to her last name in WWE. Once she refused to let anyone dull her shine, however, she settled into her position more comfortably.
Within the WWE history books, Ric Flair is recognized as a 16-time world champion, meaning Charlotte is now only trailing him by two title reigns. Nevertheless, her focus currently lies in the women’s tag team division, in which she regularly works with her fellow former WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Alexa Bliss. Whether that dynamic will once again shift into something more singles-based for Charlotte has yet to be seen.
