Charlotte’s origin story is one that seemed destined to transpire under her father’s shadow. It’s almost impossible to hear a sentence about Charlotte on WWE programming without a mention of the legendary Ric Flair soon after.
WWE Divas Champion Charlotte recently spoke with USA Today High School Sports to promote “Girls Sports Month” and WrestleMania 32. Below are some highlights from that interview:
On changing the Divas championship back to the Women’s championship:
“It’s an honor having the Divas championship and there is lots of history behind the Divas championship. I look at it as a new beginning for women’s wrestling so let’s have a new title. While I’m honored to have the Divas championship, this is 2016 — Let’s make it the women’s championship. But I will be privileged to represent women’s wrestling with a women’s championship or the Divas championship.”
On being a role model:
“It is. My first thought in going heel mode was I’m not going to be able to portray who I am and what I’m like in real life. I think Stephanie McMahon is who I’m trying mold myself after. She is the biggest villain on TV, but there is no one who is more empowering for women than Stephanie McMahon.
“I play that character and then portray who I am and what I stand for whenever I get the chance. I don’t look like a typical model. I’m strong, athletic and can kick butt like men can. That’s what I hope people take away from my character.”
On WrestleMania:
“It’s giving my goosebumps just thinking about it. I really hope with all the hard work that all the women have done in the last few months that WrestleMania is a huge payoff for us. I’m hoping we’ll get the time and and be able to show the world on the grandest stage that we’re not divas, we’re superstars. This is an opportunity to treat women as women at WrestleMania and we’re going to steal the show. I don’t even know the right words here, but we’re going to be highlighted on something on that level with the largest crowd ever and people all over the world watching us. It’s amazing how far women have come.”
The Triple-Threat match against Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch at WrestleMania 32 is gaining buzz as a darkhorse to steal the show. Last July, Charlotte, Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch sparked a revolution. Arriving to WWE at the exact same moment, the three NXT alumnae immediately dug in their heels and put the Divas division’s old guard on notice: Change had arrived.
Months removed from their historic debuts, the significance of the uprising is more obvious than ever, as Charlotte — now the reigning Divas Champion — gets set to defend the title against The Boss and The Irish Lass Kicker in a Triple Threat Match at WrestleMania. The match was made official on March 3 after a No. 1 Contender’s Rematch between Becky and Sasha on SmackDown ended in controversy, thanks to interference by Charlotte.
