Wrestling fans around the world are eagerly anticipating WrestleMania 39, and the main event of Night One features one of WWE’s most accomplished women’s superstars, Charlotte Flair. As she prepares to face Rhea Ripley for the WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship, Flair is determined to elevate the title and showcase the talent and abilities of women wrestlers.
Charlotte Flair’s Career and Motivation for Her 14th Title Reign in WWE
Charlotte Flair is at the forefront of women’s wrestling in WWE, having won 14 championship reigns throughout her career. She is a veteran presence and standard-bearer for female wrestlers, but she is not content to rest on her past accomplishments. Despite being one of the most decorated wrestlers in history, Flair is motivated to make her 14th reign stand out and elevate the title she carries.
Flair returned to WWE programming in December after a seven-month layoff and pinned Ronda Rousey in her first match back to start another reign as SmackDown women’s champion. Her 14 reigns are compromised of seven SmackDown women’s titles, six Raw women’s titles, and a reign as the final WWE Diva’s champion. She is also one of only two superstars in history to have two separate reigns as WWE NXT champion.
Charlotte Flair’s Shift from a Heel to a Babyface
As she gears up for the biggest event of the year, WrestleMania 39, Flair finds herself in a position that she is not accustomed to – being a babyface. Usually known for playing heel characters in WWE storylines, Charlotte has been finding it weird interacting with fans and being seen as a good guy.
Flair faces Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania 39 and is the white hat for once, receiving cheers and chants from the crowd. Being a babyface is a new chapter in her career, and she is in awe of it. Charlotte is a legacy hire whose father is Ric Flair, and her name carries weight. She has helped to establish women as wrestlers and not just Divas and deserves credit for the Women’s Revolution.
Her dad’s advice to Charlotte is to go out there and look her best and to have fun. Charlotte has always been a competitive athlete and used her competitive spirit to her advantage in her career.
Charlotte Flair’s Career and the Challenges of being a Veteran Female Wrestler
Charlotte Flair is one of WWE’s top female wrestlers and has paved the way for women wrestlers by helping end the sordid past of bra-and-panties matches. She took a break from wrestling to relax, recharge, and explore other passions like fitness and nutrition. Having a break has added years to her career.
Women wrestlers are now among the company’s top attractions, not just lucky to get five minutes on a pay-per-view card. However, female wrestlers tend to disappear once they hit their 30s due to the physical nature of the sport and societal pressures. Charlotte will turn 37 soon, and she’s aware of how age can affect her career as a wrestler.
Flair’s new husband helps her turn off from wrestling when they’re at home. Her life has been dedicated to wresting even after the death of her brother Reid. Charlotte continues to inspire many aspiring women wrestlers by proving that with hard work, dedication, and passion, anything is possible in WWE.
