Ric Flair’s recent appearance on The Five Star Podcast provided an insightful reflection on his daughter Charlotte Flair’s journey to becoming one of WWE’s top superstars. With 14 World Championship reigns to her name, Charlotte is quickly closing in on her father’s legendary 16-title mark, and Ric doesn’t shy away from praising her accomplishments.
Ric began by highlighting Charlotte’s athletic prowess even before she entered the wrestling world, noting that she was one of the best athletes in North Carolina during her high school years, with a standout career in volleyball. He mentioned that Charlotte had the opportunity to attend any college in the country thanks to her success in three different sports, showcasing her incredible talent.
Flair also shared some of Charlotte’s earlier ambitions, including her time as a cheerleader before she ultimately found her calling in wrestling. He recalls a pivotal moment in 2012 when Charlotte attended his Hall of Fame induction, and a comment made by someone in the room sparked her desire to pursue wrestling. Ric acknowledged that, although he had his own reservations, he encouraged her to follow her passion—something that, in hindsight, led Charlotte to the top of the wrestling world.
Flair is confident that Charlotte is at the pinnacle of her career, describing her as “the best in the business.” Although she’s currently recovering from an injury, fans can expect her to return to WWE sometime in 2025, potentially even for the Royal Rumble.
It’s clear from Ric’s reflections that Charlotte has carved her own path in the wrestling world, and her legacy, while still in the making, is already significant. With the upcoming return to WWE, Charlotte’s future remains bright, and she may soon add even more championships to her impressive career.
