Charlotte Flair

“With injuries, every match varies. The black eyes are accidents. The broken noses are accidents. But the bumps from when we land on the mat, they're hard. I think it looks easier, or the fans don't really understand what's happening, but it does take a toll.”

“I don't think there's anything else in the world that my dad loves talking about more than wrestling.”

“When I won the NXT women's title from Natalya at Full Sail, becoming the second-ever woman's champion for NXT, that's when I knew, 'Okay, I'm doing the right thing,' and that I could do this.”

“I didn't want to hurt my parents' feelings about how hard certain things were in my 20s, how hard it was when my dad left my senior year before I went to college.”

“I think what people don't realize is the transition from NXT to the main roster is a big jump. It's getting a whole new audience familiar with a certain character. If you debut too many women at one time, it's hard for the audience to get to know, understand, and see the rise of that character.”

“I definitely think Natalya is one of the greatest of all time.”

“My dad was my favorite wrestler growing up, obviously.”

“I played volleyball in college. I was the girl next door, never wanted to be in the limelight.”

“In order to have your best good guy, you have to be that bad guy.”

“The reason I don't do the Flair Flop anymore is because women's wrestling is being taken so seriously. I'll only perform something comedic like that at a house show.”

“Obviously, having my dad's last name, I think that's more the chip on my shoulder because it has been a mixed blessing. I always will have the Flair stigma, and I think that's where I deserve to be there or this, or I'm not just his daughter. I think that's the chip on my shoulder.”

“I wish I was more like my character. In character, I am the queen. I am strong. I am confident, sometimes cocky. I'm hard to beat. Out of character, I am a daughter, a sister, an aunt, a best friend and just the girl next door that likes Ben & Jerry's ice cream.”

“My dream match would be 'Queen vs. Queen' Stephanie McMahon.”

“I don't know if me and my dad have necessarily touched on this because we talk about Reid but not a lot. But me wrestling, I think, ultimately saved my dad's career and not only saved my life but definitely put a whole other chapter that no one saw coming because it could've been rock bottom after my brother passed away.”

“I'm built for wrestling. I have a high pain tolerance. My nose has been broken a couple times. Black eyes.”

“For so long, I was ashamed of my past, and I think that crippled me a lot in having confidence.”

“My comfort zone and where I feel most natural is being a heel.”

“My character, Charlotte, is very confident, and I try to be more like my character in real life. Not that I'm not confident, but I've really found my personal growth through work.”

“I want to know that I am putting 30,000 individuals in seats in arenas. That's my goal.”

“If you had asked me in my early 20s or in high school if I was going to wrestle, I would have laughed at you.”
