Professional Wrestling
Charlotte Flair first appeared in the professional wrestling ring in 1993, alongside her famous father during the World Championship Wrestling pay-per-view special “Starcade ’93: 10th Anniversary.”
On May 17, 2012, she contracted with World Wrestling Entertainment and began training under Bradley “Lodi” Cain. Flair began using the first name “Charlotte” professionally and appeared in her first televised match on July 17, 2013, against professional wrestler Pamela “Bayley” Martinez. She defeated Bayley – who she later teamed up with to defeat Zivile “Aksana” Raudoniene and Victoria “Alicia Fox” Crawford on an episode of NXT – the WWE’s professional wrestling television program. Feuds and alliances eventually formed between Flair and the other professional female wrestlers on NXT, including Saraya “Paige” Bevis, Natalie “Natalya” Neidhart-Wilson, Santana Garrett, Mercedes “Sasha Banks” Kaestner-Varnado, Danielle “Summer Rae” Moinet, and Alexis “Alexa Bliss” Cabrera.
In 2014, Flair competed in the NXT Women’s Championship tournament, winning her first championship in the WWE. She lost the title 258 days later to Sasha Banks. On July 19, she defeated Sasha Banks and Brianna “Brie Bella” Danielson in a triple threat match on Flair’s WWE pay-per-view debut. Two months later, she defeated Brie Bella’s twin sister – Stephanie “Nikki Bella” Garcia-Colace – to win the Divas Championship. Storylines on NXT involved Flair developing villainous traits, pretending to have injuries, and accepting help from her famous father. On April 3, 2016, she defeated Sasha Banks and Beck Lynch to become the inaugural champion of the WWE Women’s Championship – a title she lost to Banks 113 days later but regained during that year’s SummerSlam event.
Flair’s first pay-per-view loss occurred on March 5, 2017 after sixteen victories when she was defeated by Bayley. Later in September, she won a four-way match and became a contender for the SmackDown Women’s Championship. On November 14, she defeated Natalya and became the first to collectively win the WWE Divas Championship, the NXT Women’s Championship, the Raw Championship, and the SmackDown Women’s Championship. Later that year, she won a title match against Kanako “Asuka” Urai at WrestleMania 34, eventually becoming the second woman in WWE history to hold seven women’s championships.
In 2018, she defeated Bayley on pay-per-view’s “Hell in a Cell” event, winning her fifth SmackDown Women’s Championship. The following year, she lost the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship – in which she partnered with Becky Lynch – to Asuka and Kairi Sane.
On January 26, 2020, Flair won the Royal Rumble match and, on April 5, won her second NXT Women’s Championship. Later in the year, she took time off to undergo surgery for breast implants. The next year, a positive Covid test prevented her from taking part in WrestleMania 37 and removed her chance to become champion of the event.
In 2021, Flair became the SmackDown Women’s Champion for the second time. The following year, she took time off from wrestling to exchange wedding vows with professional Mexican wrestler Manuel “Andrade” Oropeza and embark on married life. She returned to the ring seven months later to challenge Daria “Sonya Deville” Berenato, Ronda Rousey, Rhea Ripley, Asuka, and Bianca Belair. She went on to win her 17th championship before suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament, a torn medial collateral ligament, and a torn meniscus on December 8, 2023. Because the injury required a healing time of nine months, she would be forced to miss WrestleMania XL.
