With 14 world title wins under her name, Charlotte Flair has certainly etched her name in the history of WWE. In the past decade, she earned many accolades and undoubtedly proved that she was born to become ‘The Queen’ of WWE. But do you know that she never had any interest in becoming a pro wrestler before coming to WWE?
In fact, she was invested in another sport, which eventually paved her way to greatness in the Stamford-based promotion.

Before her arrival in WWE, Flair played volleyball. In fact, she was so good at the game that she dominated the sport. During her time at Providence High School, she bagged two NCHSAA 4 A-State championships in 2002 and 2004. She was named the Conference 4A Player of the Year in 2004. She was also appointed as the team captain for the year 2004-2005.
In addition, she continued her volleyball journey at the University up until 2006 before transferring to another University for a bachelor’s degree in Public Relations. All these accolades are enough to display how good she was at the sport.
Flair was already from a sports background when she stepped foot into the world of wrestling. This played a huge role in her accommodating the harsh training and rigid schedule that wrestlers have to follow in the sport. And now years later she is one of the top wrestlers in not the promotion.
What’s next for ‘The Queen’?
Flair is currently not holding any title in WWE, but she certainly is hungry for one. The last time she was a champion was before WrestleMania when Rhea Ripley defeated her for the SmackDown Women’s Championship (now Women’s World Championship).

Recently, she failed in the attempt to capture the WWE Women’s Championship from Asuka in a triple threat match against her and Bianca Belair. Despite her loss, she hasn’t relinquished her pursuit to win the gold as she is feeding with Iyo Sky ( WWE Women’s Champion) and Damage CTRL gals alongside Asuka and Shotzi.
Flair has one goal in mind and that is to break her father Ric Flair and John Cena‘s record and surpass the 16-time World Champion mark in WWE. In a recent interview, she even challenged the Cena and her dad stating that she would break their record and become a 17x World Champion in WWE.
