10 Most Blatant Times WWE Tried To Rewrite Its Own History
9. A Flair For Lying
WWE love to change facts when it comes to the Flair family.
Ric is routinely billed as a 16-time World Champion. However, according to other sources, his real title count is as high as 25. Take that, John Cena!
As for his daughter Charlotte, for a while WWE built her entire character around how she'd "never been beaten on Pay-Per-View". Despite the fact that she had.
But that was nothing compared to the monster of a fib in the build-up to her match against Ronda Rousey at WrestleMania 38.
After winning the Royal Rumble, Rousey selected SmackDown Women's Champion Flair as her opponent for The Show of Shows. A large part of the build was the former UFC fighter's desire to be the first woman to make The Queen tap out.
Except she'd already tapped out. Multiple times. To multiple people.
Asuka. Natalya. Sasha Banks. Becky Lynch. All of these performers have forced Charlotte to tap the mat at some point, even as far back as NXT.
In short, WWE got the idea for this feud and decided not to let the truth get in the way of a good story.
Except the story was mediocre at best.
