While speaking with Salcedo, The Queen started by mentioning that this year, she will compete inside a WrestleMania ring for the “seventh” time. But she doesn’t feel like it’s her seventh time as she believes time fled by really quickly.
Flair also confessed that this year she has a distinct feeling. She feels confident about her upcoming bout against the 2023 Women’s Royal Rumble winner. She says, “But this year it’s like a different feel. It’s like I truly am confident in who I am, what I have done.”
She continues to say that normally when everyone would expect her not to feel the heat of this year’s biggest PLE as she has already stood inside the WrestleMania rings many times. But she adds that despite having confidence, one can always feel the pressure to do better.
“I want to say that the pressure gets easier, but it doesn’t. I think like it’s every year, oh you got to outdo yourself, last year. You got to be better. It’s got to be better, it’s got to be bigger, it’s got to be more glamorous. So the pressure never goes away,” The Queen said.
She clarifies that every year on WrestleMania; the pressure increases as people expect her to do something more than she did last year. So this year too, she definitely feels a little anxious about giving the audience something better than her last time.

Surely, the reigning champion wants to do something extraordinary this year to make her match unique as compared to her previous WrestleMania matches. That being said, she is not the only one to hold the record of being in seven WrestleMania events.
CM Punk and Batista, both former WWE superstars have competed at ‘The Show of Show’ seven times as well. When it comes to being a part of the WrestleMania event, seven is a huge number. This shows how much of a big name Charlotte Flair is in the industry right now.
