Rhea Ripley received her big break in WWE when she became the first NXT superstar to defend an NXT Championship at WrestleMania. The Aussie defended her NXT Championship against the Queen, Charlotte Flair, [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/charlotte-flair/] in a hellacious match. In an interview with Lilian Garcia on her Chasing Glory [https://liliangarcia.com/chasing-glory-podcast/] podcast, Ripley talked about her WrestleMania experience and the aftermath of her match with Flair. RHEA RIPLEY OPENS UP ON HER WRESTLEMANIA EXPERIENCE “It’s funny because I was on Watch Along and I was watching the Royal Rumble and Charlotte won. And they turned to me, and they were like, ‘What do you think?‘ I said, ‘Well, she gets to challenge for any title, so I’d like to see her try me,'” said Ripley, who was shocked when she realised she just set her road to WrestleMania. “It was exciting. I got my golden ticket pretty much from that, and man, even the WrestleMania [event] wasn’t what we expected it to be. It’s still WrestleMania, and it’s still a massive deal. Like yeah, there were no people in attendance, which sorta sucked, and my parents couldn’t be there, which sucked ’cause I wanted to share that with them.” (H/T WrestlingInc [https://www.wrestlinginc.com/news/2020/12/rhea-ripley-talks-losing-confidence-following-loss-to-677495/]) In spite of the unfortunate circumstances, Rhea Ripley and Charlotte Flair went on to have an amazing match. It ranks as one of the best women’s matches in the event’s history. Charlotte brutalized Ripley’s knee, while the NXT Champion used her explosive offence to shock the confident Queen. RIPLEY ADMITS TO LOSING CONFIDENCE AFTER LOSS AT WRESTLEMANIA “I definitely have gone through a stage where I started losing confidence in myself. Because I wasn’t being portrayed the same way that I was”. Ripley lost the title to Charlotte at WrestleMania. Apparently, losing the title had a pretty adverse effect on her life outside the ring. “I’m still slowly building myself back up from it. But my confidence was definitely tainted a little bit, which sucks ’cause I try to keep it up [so I can] do my best all the time. I don’t know if it was just something inside my head that wasn’t getting the picture and I got a bit lost after that. But right now, I feel like I’m getting back on track.” Ripley won the NXT Championship from Shayna Baszler towards the end of 2018. She landed on American soil as the hottest thing in wrestling. Her popularity carried her to the pinnacle of NXT. Ripley is still down in NXT and is now part of Shotzi Blackheart’s team for War Games. 

NXT superstar Rhea Ripley opens up on her very first WrestleMania experience and
the aftermath of her match with Charlotte Flair.

<h2 style="text-align: center">WrestleMania</h2>
One of WWEâ€™s Big Five, WrestleMania is arguably the largest pro wrestling event in the world. Its first iteration featured the likes of Andre the Giant, Mr T, and Hulk Hogan, and a total attendance of just shy of 20,000 people. With WWE increasing the stakes each year, its latest iteration, WrestleMania XL, is set to feature over 25 of the promotionâ€™s biggest wrestlers, including Dwayne Johnson, Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, and Rhea Ripley.
<h2 style="text-align: center">WrestleMania Origins</h2>
WrestleMania was conceptualized as a rival to NWAâ€™s Starrcade, which began in 1983 and was initially organized by Jim Crockett Promotions. The two promotions were in a fierce battle to come out on top in the 80s, with NWAâ€™s popularity waning as the then-WWF expanded nationwide, with a hope to go global. Former WWE head honcho Vince McMahon was credited with creating the concept of WrestleMania. The PPVâ€™s name originated from WWFâ€™s lead ring announcer Howard Finkel, as a play on the Beatlemania of the 60s.

As WWFâ€™s inaugural PPV, the first-ever WrestleMania took place in 1985 at Madison Square Garden. Though WrestleMania 1 didnâ€™t manage to outshine the 1985 edition of Starrcade, which had a combined attendance of 30,000 people, it still managed to beat Starrcadeâ€™s debut attendance of 15,000, with over 19,000 people attending WrestleMania 1 in person, setting the stage for a PPV that would go on to become a household name.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Evolution of WrestleMania</h2>
<h3 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania I-IV: The Foundation</b></h3>
Even with its debut, WrestleManiaâ€™s core tenet was â€œgo big or go homeâ€. WWF went all out, with a match card featuring wrestling greats like The Iron Sheikh, Andre the Giant, Hulk Hogan, Ricky Steamboat, David and Bruno Sammartino, and The Fabulous Moolah. In keeping with what would later become tradition, the flagship marquee event also featured several big names from the era, including boxing legend Muhammed Ali, pianist Liberace, pop sensation Cyndi Lauper, and New York Yankees manager Billy Martin.

The all-round success of WrestleMania 1 saw WWF overtake NWA and AWA (American Wrestling Association). The event was critical to the '80s wrestling boom, which saw a sharp increase in the demand for professional wrestling.

Shortly after, WrestleMania II took the show to another level, simultaneously taking place in three different venues across the country - New York, Chicago, and California. While initially received poorly, as the logistics of organizing a major wrestling event across three venues overtook the promotion, it set the stage yet again for WWF one-upping itself with each edition.

In comparison, WrestleMania III managed to outshine its previous iterations, having broken the record for the largest recorded attendance at an indoor live event in North America with a purported attendance of over 93,000 people, only broken by WrestleMania 32 in 2016. It was also iconic for its matches, with Ricky Steamboat vs Randy Savage, and Hulk Hogan vs Andre the Giant going down in history as two of the greatest matches in pro wrestling history. While not as iconic as its predecessor, WrestleMania IV featured the first appearance of Donald Trump at a Mania, marking the start of the relationship between the promotion and the Trump Organization.
<h3 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania V-X: The Golden Era</b></h3>
WrestleMania during the Golden Era was truly something to behold. The promotionâ€™s fame had skyrocketed, effectively cementing itself as a stalwart player in the pro wrestling industry. With the success of WrestleMania came the introduction of pay-per-views like SummerSlam, Royal Rumble, and Survivor Series, meaning that the Golden Era had more to offer throughout the year.

However, WrestleManiaâ€™s popularity never waned with the addition of the new PPVs, as it continued to remain the biggest wrestling event in the country. WrestleMania saw some of the most legendary moments in WWE history in the early â€˜90s. Major feuds between Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage, and Shawn Michaels, aka Mr. WrestleMania, and Razor Ramon managed to outsell competitors in popularity.

The Golden Era of WWE served as a platform to cement the legacies of several WWE legends who have remained a household name till today, including Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, and The Ultimate Warrior. WrestleMania VII also saw the beginning of The Undertakerâ€™s Mania streak that would continue well into the 2010s.
<h3 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania XI-XX: Attitude Era Impact</b></h3>
WrestleMania during the Attitude Era saw the culmination of several iconic storylines coming to a head at the Grandest Stage of Them All. The PPV reached its peak during this period, with â€˜Stone Coldâ€™ Steve Austin beating Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania XIV for the WWF Championship title, marking the first of six title reigns.

This also marked the beginning of the legendary rivalry between Austin and Dwayne â€˜The Rockâ€™ Johnson, the epitome of the Attitude Era. WrestleMania XV saw the first fight between the two pro wrestling stalwarts, where Stone Cold beat The Rock during the main event to win back the WWF Championship belt.

The beginning of the new Millennium also saw the introduction of the first-ever Triangle Ladder match, with the iconic tag teams The Hardy Boyz, The Dudley Boyz, and Edge and Christian going against each other for the WWF Tag Team Championship. This era also saw the first-ever WrestleMania under the WWE at WrestleMania XIX, which also marked the end of Steve Austinâ€™s feud with The Rock.
<h3 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania XXI-XXX: New Millennium Milestones</b></h3>
In keeping up with becoming bigger and better, WWE introduced the concept of the Money In The Back ladder match at WrestleMania 21, which would become a main fixture in the PLE. This period of WrestleMania managed to rival the Attitude Era, giving us iconic matches with The Undertaker vs Batista at WrestleMania 23 and Ric Flairâ€™s retirement match against Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania XXIV.

WrestleMania XXX in particular was something to behold, as The Undertakerâ€™s unbroken 22-year streak was finally broken by Brock Lesnar, rendering the WWE universe in awe. Other moments also include Daniel Bryanâ€™s rise to the top after an initial win against Triple H and a win against Randy Orton and Batista for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
<h3 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania during the 2010s</b></h3>
The latter half of the 2010s saw increased interest in WrestleMania as WrestleMania 32 broke the attendance record previously set by WrestleMania III, with an attendance of over 101,000 people. With WWE itself moving towards organizing events in international venues, this expanded the reach WrestleMania had with fans outside of the States. WrestleMania 35 was the first since 2000 to not feature The Undertaker, but more importantly, was also the first WrestleMania to feature a womanâ€™s main event, with a triple threat match between Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, and Ronda Rousey.
<h3 style="text-align: center">WrestleMania in the 2020s</h3>
<h4 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania 36</b></h4>
WrestleMania 36 was a plethora of WrestleMania firsts, with the first-ever edition of the PLE to be held across two nights and the first to not have a live audience due to pandemic restrictions. Considering restrictions, the 2020 iteration of Mania was widely regarded a success, especially in the backdrop of no live audiences, as well as several last-minute changes to the roster to account for potential health risks. This was also heightened by WWE deciding to play with its format, with a Firefly Fun House match with Bray Wyatt taking down John Cena.
<h4 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania 37</b></h4>
While WrestleMania 36 was an example of WWE making do, WrestleMania 37 saw the promotion come back bigger and better. The 37th iteration of The Show of Shows took place in Tampa, Florida, where the reduction in COVID-19 protocols meant more freedom for WrestleMania to have a live audience, albeit limited capacity and with restrictions to the audience.

This also marked the first WWE event to be livestreamed solely on Peacock, a product of the WWE Networkâ€™s earlier merger with Peacock in March of that year.
<h4 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania 38</b></h4>
WrestleMania 38 marked the year when WWE returned the Showcase of the Immortals to its full capacity, with over 131,000 people attending over the course of two days. This also led to the evolution of WrestleMania Weekend, with WWE kickstarting the PLE with a special edition of Friday Night SmackDown featuring an Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal. The PLE also saw the surprise return of Cody Rhodes, as he took on Seth Rollins on Night 1, as well as Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar headlining the event on Night 2.
<h4 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania 39</b></h4>
In its most recent iteration, WrestleMania continues to prove its worth as the biggest pro wrestling event in history, with Mania 39 grossing $21.6 million in ticket sales alone. The PLE saw the appearance of several modern WWE greats including John Cena, Brock Lesnar, Rey Mysterio, Charlotte Flair, Edge, Roman Reigns, and Cody Rhodes.

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Charlotte Flair: 2024 Net Worth, Stats, Salary, Husband and More</h2>
Ashley Elizabeth Fliehr, also known as Charlotte Flair, is a second-generation American wrestler widely considered one of the best female performers of our time. Charlotte is the daughter of WWE legend, Ric Flair, and employs many of his mannerisms in her character. The professional wrestler whose name <span style="font-weight: 400">represents her hometown of Charlotte, North Carolina,</span> was destined to succeed in WWE. That was not just because she was the daughter of the greatest professional wrestler of all time, but also because she had the looks and in-ring skills to succeed in the company. Further, Charlotte, <span style="font-weight: 400"><a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/sasha-banks">Sasha Banks</a>, Bayley, and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/becky-lynch">Becky Lynch</a> are considered </span><span style="font-weight: 400">four horsewomen in the WWE.Â </span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Charlotte Flairâ€™s Early Life</b></h2>
Charlotte Flair was born on April 5, 1986, in North Carolina to Ric Flair and his then-wife Elizabeth Harrell. Considered one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time, Ric enjoyed a career spanning over 50 years. Making his professional wrestling debut on December 10, 1972, the now 74-year-old showcased his mettle in all wrestling companies, including NWA, WWE, WCW, and WCWI. Charlotte Flair had a sibling in the form of Reid Flair, who was all set to follow in his father's footsteps, but he passed away in March 2013 at the tender age of 13.

Meanwhile, she has two half-siblings named David Flair and Megan Flair. Speaking of her education qualifications, Charlotte completed her schooling at Providence High School while he also went to Appalachian State University and North Carolina State University. She was a prolific gymnast in school before becoming a professional wrestler, which explains her amazing agility in the ring. Just before signing with WWE, she worked as a personal trainer, helping people stay fit and healthy.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Charlotte Flairâ€™s Husband and Children</b></h2>
Charlotte Flair's first wedding took place in May 2010 as she tied the knot with Riki Johnson. However, the couple could not stay together for long and ended up parting ways in February 2013. Her second wedding with English wrestler Thomas Latimer, famously known as Bram, also made a lot of headlines but the couple went separate ways in October 2015. Charlotte finally found her true connection with the professional wrestler Manuel Andrade Oropeza and the couple got hitched on May 27, 2022, in Mexico. Oropeza is currently associated with All Elite Wrestling and is famous with the name of Andrade El Idolo.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Charlotte Flair 2022 Net Worth</h2>
As per PinkVilla, Charlotte Flair has an estimated net worth of $4 million. She draws out a handsome salary of $550,000 from WWE while also being the face of WWE merchandise. She also has a knack for writing and the proof of the same is her book, Second Nature: The Legacy of Ric Flair and the Rise of Charlotte. The wrestler has also featured in a lot of magazines over the years.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Charlotte Flairâ€™s Career Timeline</b></h2>
This might come as a surprise, but Charlotte's stint with professional wrestling began way back in 2000 at World Championship Wrestling (WCW). Back then, the 14-year-old was introduced as Ashley Flair and got embroiled in a feud that was going on between Ric Flair and Vince Russo, also involving her half-brother David Flair in the mix. She would only begin training as a professional wrestler in 2012.

She debuted in NXT in the year 2013 and turned heel very soon. Being the daughter of the dirtiest player in the game, it came naturally to her. She ruled NXT and became the NXT Women's Champion in 2014. Her main roster debut happened amidst the women's revolution. She debuted as a babyface on Raw along with Becky Lynch when the two were paired up with Paige as part of a stable known as PCB.

After winning the Divas championship, Charlotte again turned heel, this time against Becky Lynch. Since entering the main roster, she has amassed one achievement after another. She is rightly called The Queen, signifying her dominance over the entire women's division. As of 2024, she is one of the most successful wrestlers having 14 world championships in her name.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Charlotte Flair contract</b></h2>
WWE does not hesitate in shelling out a good amount of money for its key players and thus it should come as no surprise as Charlotte Flair is the owner of one of the highest-paid deals for women in the company. It is believed that her contract was extended in December last year and she agreed to be in the company for several years. One of the key benefits for Charlotte would be a travel bus. The last known salary of the wrestler in the public domain was $550,000.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Charlotte Flairâ€™s wrestling Career stats</b></h2>
In her career spanning over a decade, Charlotte Flair has featured in a total of 1079 wrestling games, winning 597 and losing 456 matches. She has a winning and losing percentage of 55.3 and 42.3 respectively, while a total of 26 of her games ended in a draw.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Charlotte Flairâ€™s Records</b></h2>
Flair is the record 14-time women's champion in the WWE, establishing her supremacy over the women's division of the company. In addition, she was also the last Divas Champion before the belt was retired. As impressive as this might sound, this is just the tip of the iceberg. Charlotte was a part of the first women's only main event of WrestleMania alongside Ronda Rousey and Becky Lynch. That went a long way in establishing her as one of the most dominant stars of the company.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>A look at the achievements of Charlotte Flair</b></h2>

Charlotte Flair is involved with numerous charities. These include Girl Up, Make-A-Wish, and Connor's Cure. All of them work for those sections of society that are underprivileged.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Charlotte Flairâ€™s house</b></h2>
