10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (Nov 4)
6. Charlotte Doesn't Think She'd Be Anywhere If It Wasn't For Natalya
Fresh off winning the Raw Women's Title in the main event at Hell In A Cell, Charlotte Flair must feel like she's on top of the world. As anyone who has heard interviews with the woman before can attest, Charlotte's real-life persona is nothing like the arrogant 'Queen' she plays on television.
Humble and respectful of her success, Flair appeared on Booker T's Heated Conversations podcast recently to discuss her career. Despite being one of the most dominant females on the entire WWE landscape now, Charlotte revealed that she wasn't always so sure of herself. In fact, had it not been for one match in particular she doesn't think she'd be on the main roster at all.
On May 29, 2014, the NXT brand produced the first NXT TakeOver event. On the card, Charlotte beat Natalya to become the NXT Women's Champion. The match was critically acclaimed, and Flair looks back to that bout as a real coming-of-age moment.
Thankful to Natalya for her patience, Charlotte said she hadn't been confident going into the match. Due to how well the pair pulled it off, she had a newfound courage.
