The Jaw-Dropping Transformation of Millionaire WWE Star Charlotte Flair

Queens and Kings occupy a special place in human history. While some inherited the power, others strived and earned it. WWE also has such a queen and her name is Charlotte Flair, and this one has a story of both inheritance and the accolades that she earned through striving.

Being the daughter of the 16-time World Champion Ric Flair, she always has the obligation to prove critics wrong with her merits and potential. Thus, she never shied away from delivering a salient performance every time she stepped into the ring. Here’s a deeper look into the legacy ‘The Queen’ carved out in WWE through the past years.

When the 14-year-old Ashley Flair appeared in WCW

Charlotte, North Carolina, was the town Ashley Fliehr grew up in with her younger brother Reid and half-siblings. Watching her father’s legendary career, she made her first appearance in professional wrestling entertainment in 2000. Flair appeared in WCW with her father Ric Flair and half-brother David.

The feud that involved Vince Russo, Ric Flair, David Flair, and Daphne ended up in matches between the father and son. Flair won the first match against his son and Russo. But ‘The Nature Boy’ lost to the same team on Monday Nitro, and David and Russo shaved his head partially.

Moreover, in that last match, the 14-year-old Ashley Flair (Charlotte Flair) interfered to defend her father, and Russo’s security guards restrained her. However, that instance was just a hint of a storm to come.

Setting sail in the world of professional wrestling as Charlotte Flair

Ashley Elizabeth Fliehr started her voyage in WWE NXT in 2013, after her college graduation and briefly undertaking a career as a personal trainer. Charlotte Flair, the baby face, defeated Bayley in her debut match and later formed a tag team with her in NXT. But Flair’s in-ring persona inclined more towards that of a heel, and by the end of 2013, she was gradually growing into the maleficent queen that suits her best.

Further, Charlotte Flair strengthened as a standout performer with her superior physique, and everyone came to see why she calls herself ‘Genetically Superior Athlete’. Next year, in 2014, ‘The Flair of NXT’ won the Women’s title by defeating Natalya in a 7-women NXT TakeOver.

Meanwhile, the passion she has for the business became more significant after her younger brother Reid passed away. Flair has said on multiple occasions that she is living her brother’s dream and that is why WWE means so much to her.
