The Reno Gazette-Journal recently had WWE Divas Champion Charlotte for an interview to promote her upcoming appearance at Reno Comic Con later this month. The full interview can be seen right here. Below are the highlights.

On emerging from the shadow of Ric Flair’s legacy:

“If I didn’t acknowledge the fact that my father is Ric Flair, people will ask why. If I do, well, either way someone is going be negative because of what my dad has meant to the industry, and I take that (legacy) very seriously.”

“I feel the pressure to continue to get better to fulfill my own legacy but also continue my dad’s. I want to make an impact in the industry like my father did but in my own way, whether it be refining the (Divas) division or reinventing a major pay per view.”

Her Figure Eight submission move:

“My coach Sarah (Del Rey) and a couple other people in the ring were like, ‘Oh, you can bridge out of that, that’s cool!’ Then (NXT wrestler) Simon Gotch said, ‘You should call it the Figure 8 because it’s twice as good as your dad’s.’”
