Charlotte Flair opened up about a traumatic episode from her high school days

Looking at the current times, we can see the female wrestlers of WWE becoming an inspiration for many. Not only because of their achievements inside the ring but the odds they have had to overcome. Flair is also one of those personalities who shut the mouth of those who once body-shamed her. 

While sharing her personal story, she mentioned how boys used to bully her in high school. Flair shared, “There is something called the presidential test, so, I’m always competing with the boys and wanting to be better than the boys.” 

However, she added, “I remember being called ‘beast’. I don’t know why it affected me so much but it did. Then the boys making fun of having like hairy blonde arms. I just never, I guess, felt comfortable in my own skin from an early stage.”
