MTV.co.uk has a new interview up with WWE NXT Women’s Champion Charlotte about her career. Here are some excerpts from the interview:
On having a better understanding of her father, Ric Flair:
“My dad lives, breathed professional wrestling. I never understood how he could just continue to go and go and go. I’d say he had a hard time when he retired and I never understood that. ‘You’ve retired. You’ve worked your whole life. Why do you still want to wrestle?’ Today, now I understand. All he ever wanted to do was entertain the fans. When you absolutely love what you do… being a part of this NXT/WWE family, I get it now. You’re with them more than your own family sometimes.”
On wanting to headline a WWE PPV in the future:
“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.”
