Charlotte Flair won the Raw Women's Championship at SummerSlam 2021, swapped belts with Becky Lynch following the WWE Draft, and has been SmackDown Women's Champion ever since.
Though Charlotte has featured weekly on television and in high profile matches since winning the title, she hasn't been the biggest fan of her current reign.
"I can't say that this title reign has been one of my favorites because I haven't had an opportunity, due to unfortunate events, to defend the title as many times as I would like, but in terms of, when I came back after WrestleMania 37 that I missed, and came back as The Opportunity, I feel it's been the most confident my character has been since before...a good three and a half years," she said when asked by Ariel Helwani of BT Sport how her reign has been going.
When asked what she meant by "unfortunate events," Charlotte replied, "Toni Storm, in the middle of our storyline, she left. There hasn't really been anyone on SmackDown...I had the opportunity to face Naomi in a title match on SmackDown and I had been wanting to wrestle her for five years. I would have liked to be more of a fighting champion. My goal is for all that to be erased once I face Ronda on Saturday."
Storm and Charlotte were involved in a storyline when December 2021 when Storm decided to leave the promotion.
Charlotte only defended the SmackDown Women's Championship twice on television since the swap. She will defend the belt against Ronda Rousey at WrestleMania Saturday. Fans can check out the full lineup for WrestleMania Saturday by clicking here.
