NXT Women’s Champion Charlotte recently did some media rounds to promote WWE’s upcoming NXT live special, titled “NXT Takeover: Rival.” The event will air live on the WWE Network on Feb. 11. At the event, Charlotte will put her title on the line in a Fatal 4 Way match against Bayley, Sasha Banks, and Becky Lynch.
The daughter of WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair spoke about the advice she has received from “The Nature Boy” in an interview with MTV United Kingdom:
“When I first started this, he told me, ‘You’re not going to go in there and half-ass it. This is what you want? You have to want it.’ My dad says, ‘Eat, sleep and train. And only do something if you want to be the best. Put your whole heart into it.’ His biggest thing for me is believing in myself and not caring what anyone else says. Those are things we talk about on a daily basis. He’s said before, ‘You’ll get eaten alive in this business if you show them for one second you’re not sure.”
Additionally, Charlotte was interviewed by TalkSport.com. Within the interview, she talked about her goal of one day main eventing a WWE pay-per-view:
“I want to revolutionize women’s wrestling. We’ve only given a taste [so far], that’s only a little bit of what the girls can do down here. I don’t know how long it will take, but we won’t stop until we prove to the world NXT means business. I guess that sounds clichéd but that’s what I want to do. I want to be taken as… I know we’re not men, but I want to be a main eventer. I know one day I will main event a pay-per-view. It might not be WrestleMania, but it will be a pay-per-view.”
Editor’s Note
Hopefully we see Charlotte come up to the main WWE roster sometime soon, here in 2015. She can definitely provided a much-needed rejuvenation to the Divas division.
