10 Times WWE Loved Making Your Favourite Wrestlers Cry

7. Charlotte Flair

Taking on the Flair family name was always going to come with certain pressure for WWE's 'Queen' and first breakout star from NXT's fabled Four Horsewomen, but most assumed it would just the likes of the music, the strut and her elevated submission that would tie the legacy of her great name to her own bright future.

Turns out, like her Da, she's an elite-level crier too. And to be fair to the multi-time Women's Champion, she's made no secret of it whenever the camera has caught sight or sound of her welling up. It happens so often that what else could she really do but make jokes about it at this point?

In storylines, in reality, on WWE television and during several gripping Network documentaries profiling her path to superstardom, Charlotte has done a good job of trivialising the novel Father and Daughter trait of welling up every time the wind changes. When it happens so often, it's probably best to own it.
