On a recent edition of his To Be The Man podcast, Ric Flair responded to the recurring criticism that his daughter Charlotte is in the main event/title picture too often.
Charlotte, the current WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion, will defend the championship against Rhea Ripley at this weekend’s WrestleMania 39 pay-per-view event.
The Nature Boy stated the following:
“If someone is off for a legitimate reason and they’re the best wrestler in the business, why aren’t they in the main event? In the business, men or women. That’s what they do, they’re in the main event. Steve Austin came back for a year, came back and did he start at the bottom of the card? He ain’t wrestled in 20 years and they wanted him to main-event WrestleMania this year. What the hell? That’s the most stupid thing in the world. Why wouldn’t the best performer in the company, regardless of time off or time on, not be in the main event? Give me a break.”
