Charlotte Discusses the Progression of the Divas Revolution

Woooooooooooooooooooo.

The new WWE Divas Champion Charlotte recently sat down with Bria Fritz of SportingNews.com to discuss WWE’s partnership with the Susan G. Komen foundation, as well as several other topics.

One main issue Charlotte addressed was her thoughts on how the Divas Revolution has progressed over the last couple of months. She stated:

“Well, I think people always want to find something to be negative about instead of just being positive that there’s three NXT girls that debuted. I know that we all feel that the Divas Revolution isn’t something that just started when the three of us came up. I think the Divas Revolution has been around for along time, even since Trish (Stratus) and Lita. It’s just as of right now in this moment in time, there’s a bigger focus on our in-ring ability. Catching the phrase — even with Bayley — The Four Horsewomen, people want to pick fun and say, “What’s making a revolution? They’re this, they’re that.” But people are also getting to know who we are on the main roster. Just because we were popular on NXT and then bringing us up to the main roster, it’s kind of like a slogan: Divas Revolution. It’s not saying that the revolution begins or it ends or we’re the revolution or this and that. It’s more of just a catch phrase. We’ve revolutionizing women’s wrestling. We have been for years now. It’s just now there’s new faces, new characters, more demand for women’s wrestling. That’s all it is.”

Charlotte was then asked about why she gets so emotional and if she has ever been teased by the other Divas because of it. She went on to say:

“No, I haven’t gotten teased. I’ve gotten the “Oh, you’re so emotional, you’re like your dad,” but I don’t think … I think it’s just because no one’s ever seen a father-daughter combo like me and my dad. Wrestling has been my dad’s whole life and to know that that’s been my whole life and that my dad has been away my whole life because of wrestling and now I’m part of something that meant everything to him. And then losing my brother, which a lot of people don’t bring up. I started FCW to be with my brother and then he died about eight months later. I went through a lot in the developmental system on a personal level, so it is emotional. If anyone’s lost a sibling suddenly and especially how … I think some people don’t really think, “Why is she so emotional?” But I definitely think that’s one of Charlotte’s strengths or my strengths is because I have been through a lot and I’ll look on it.”

Charlotte is currently scheduled to face Nikki Bella in her rematch for the WWE Divas Championship at “Hell In A Cell.” While there have been rumors circulating that additional Divas, such as Paige and Sasha Banks, might be added to this match-it is currently confirmed to be a one-on-one.

Editor’s Note:

Charlotte’s thoughts on the Divas Revolution are certainly interesting, especially now that she is the Divas Champion. I believe the Divas Revolution has had it’s ups and downs, but has ultimately much improved the Divas division on the main roster. Only time will tell if this truly becomes a Revolution, or just another fad.
