10 Secret Wrestling Retcons You DEFINITELY Don't Remember
10. Charlotte Flair’s NXT Title Reigns
Someone get WWE to math class.
On Steve Austin's 'Broken Skull Sessions' show a few years back, Charlotte Flair referred to herself as "a 13-time champion". On TV around the same time, WWE flashed up a graphic that called her a "12-time champion". Huh? None of this made any sense back then, and it still doesn't now.
Flair has enjoyed no less than 15 singles title reigns during her run thus far. She has 6 with the old Raw Women's belt (which includes a linked-up stint as Divas Champ), 7 as SmackDown Women's Champion and 2 as NXT Women's Champ. 6 + 7 + 2 = 15, so where did they get the 12 and 13 numbers from?
Typically, NXT was shoved by the wayside and apparently ignored by both company and wrestler alike. Why? Nobody's quite sure, and it's especially strange considering Charlotte has defended the NXT Women's Title at WrestleMania. You'd think that'd earn the belt some respect.
