Charlotte Flair thinks that WWE joked around with her ring name.
Fans have known Charlotte Flair as a top wrestler for over a decade at this point, but people within the wrestling business have known Ashley Fliehr as a person for even longer.
While chatting with The Ringer Wrestling Show for a new interview, Charlotte was asked about growing up in Charlotte, the city that she believes is the origin of her ring name.
"I think they named me Charlotte as like a joke. I did love Charlotte from ‘Sex and the City,’ but I pitched, because I love Miss Elizabeth, I pitched Elizabeth. Elizabeth Reid was one because of my brother. He was still alive then, but pretty much kind of...Elizabeth was part of my name. Charlotte, I think they went with because ‘Ric is billed from Charlotte. This is easy.’"
Elsewhere in the interview, Flair stated that she filmed a part for a horror film this past summer. Check out her full comments on the matter by clicking here.
