Flair admittedly doubted herself before the matchup. “From the moment Ronda came into the WWE, I played it over and over that I was going to face her at WrestleMania. How am I gonna walk into Sunday, and prove that I’m the baddest wrestler on the planet?”
Charlotte Flair puts the WWE on notice
The bout was extremely hard-fought, and extremely entertaining. Flair made it a point to be as physical as possible, to keep it engaging throughout. “You’re seeing just 2 badass women going at it.”
Rousey at the time was largely known as perhaps the most dominant UFC fighter in her division, and was looking to uphold that status in WWE.
Flair was tasked with overcoming Rousey, a humongous task on its own.
Charlotte spoke about how she snapped, and turned heel in the match, leading to her disqualification.
“I was thinking ‘No, I’m the baddest woman on the planet’. That’s the story I was trying to tell in the ring.
