Charlotte: “WWE’s Women Are Just As Good As The Men”

Tonight at WWE “Fastlane”, Charlotte will defend her Divas Championship against Brie Bella. To promote the match and the PPV, Charlotte recent did an interview with  WKYC Channel 3 in Cleveland.

During the interview, the current Divas Champion discussed her career, the changes we’ve seen in women’s wrestling, and her match with Brie Bella tonight. You can read the full interview right here. Below are some of the highlights:

How has women’s wrestling changed recently? 

“I think now, the need for women’s wrestling is more a focus to the fans, so we’re getting more time, more storylines,” Flair said. “The women have always been athletic, but now, there’s more of a focus on what we can do in the ring instead of just being a pretty face, that we’re not just divas, that we’re superstars as well.”

Does she feel like she’s helped change wrestling? 

“I guess it’s hard for me to say I’ve changed something just because when you’re in it, you don’t really realize what’s happening, but I do hope that I stand for something for women to look at, that being a diva is not just a pretty face or a model, that it takes athleticism and strength. I hope that’s what I represent, that we’re just as good as the men.”
