10 Things You Didn't Know About Charlotte Flair

6. She Wasn't Pinned Until 20 Months Into Her NXT Career

Charlotte Flair has been a bonafide superstar on the main roster, arguably the most dominant female performer in the five years since she made the jump from developmental. The championship wins tell their own story, but the way Charlotte has been portrayed has been equally as impressive. Dominance is her thing.

In all of this, her NXT run has been somewhat forgotten. We remember the match with Nattie, the tears, the development of the Four Horsewomen, the feud with Sasha Banks. Some might even remember the BFF’s. What is somewhat forgotten is that Charlotte Flair on NXT was every bit as dominant as main roster Charlotte Flair, if not more.

Take her singles record, for example. She made her debut in June 2013, but it wasn’t until March 4, 2015, that she was pinned in singles competition, and even then it took a little bit of rule-breaking from Sasha Banks to do so. Flair’s NXT singles record reads an immensely dominant 23-4, with all but one of her defeats coming after she dropped the NXT title in February 2015, mere months before she moved to the main roster.

Charlotte’s main roster dominance is well-documented, but many have forgotten that she has been in charge since she arrived on the scene.
