Charlotte Flair Reflects On Her Father’s Reaction To WrestleMania Main Event

WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair is set to make history as she will step into the ring with Becky Lynch and WWE RAW Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey. This Winner Takes All match will serve as the headliner of WrestleMania 35.

Flair recently did an interview with Sporting News to promote WrestleMania 35. During the interview, she talked about the way that her father, WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair, reacted to the match and the position that WWE has put them in.

This is a big deal considering that WWE has never booked women in the main event of their biggest event of the year.

“My dad is my biggest fan, my biggest supporter, my best friend. He truly understands what it has been like in the journey, with the ups and downs and helping me every day in how to get better, what I need to do to get better, what I did to get here. He’s been so connected with what it has taken me to get here that … he just said, ‘You deserve it, and you did it all on your own.’ He emphasizes that every single day that ‘You did this all on your own. This has nothing to do with me.’ And just, ‘I’m proud of you.’”

WWE presents the WrestleMania 35 pay-per-view event on Sunday, April 7, 2019 in East Rutherford, NJ at MetLife Stadium that will air on the WWE Network.
