Flair has had many critics for a long time. She’s received backlash for being pushed constantly, for being a nine-time champion, and even for her physical appearance. Despite all of that, Flair remains one of the best wrestlers in the world, irrespective of division or promotion.
Her current run isn’t the strongest, but she’s quickly entering the main event scene. Her fiance’s release from WWE did not deter her from being the best, which wasn’t a surprise. Will we see Flair become a ten-time champion in 2021?
