In a recent interview with The Athletic ahead of WrestleMania 39, 14-time women’s champion Charlotte Flair spoke about what she has yet to achieve in WWE and how she wants to surpass her father, Ric Flair’s record of 16 World Championships. She said,
“Well, I can beat my dad’s record for one, to hold the most world titles in the company. (Also) to have a mixed tag match with Bad Bunny. And I’ve never won Money in the Bank.”
Elaborating on why she wants to team up with Bad Bunny, Charlotte lavished praise on the pop sensation, also highlighting his respect for professional wrestling. She said,
“He’s a student of the game. I hope he (reads) this: I have never asked to take a picture with a celebrity when they’ve come backstage, but I was like, “Can I please get a picture with Bad Bunny?” What he has accomplished within our industry is incredible. It just goes to show how much respect he has for what we do and how, when he puts his mind to something, he goes for it 100 percent. I thought it was really cool.”
As for what’s in her future, the younger Flair shared her desire to work with her husband, Andrade, before emphatically stating that she still has many barriers to break.
“Well, I want to tag team with Bad Bunny. I want to wrestle with my husband, whether that’s being his manager or a mixed tag couple, I don’t know. I just take it day by day. I feel like I get better every year. I think that says a lot, considering I have done it all, that I’m still not complacent. I don’t think anyone thought women would main event WrestleMania 35 when we did. So in my mind, I still think that I’m going to work hard to create something that people thought was unobtainable. I don’t know what that looks like, but I know it’s out there.”
Charlotte Flair will defend the SmackDown Women’s Championship against Rhea Ripley in one of the matches being considered as the main event for Night 1 of WrestleMania 39.
