15 Wrestlers’ Daughters Following In Their Parents’ Footsteps

1. Charlotte (Ric Flair)

The current NXT Women€™s Champion is on the right path when it comes to becoming a major star in WWE, and she in no small part owes that to her father, €œNature Boy€ Ric Flair. But make no mistake, Charlotte has turned heads during the past two years in terms of her overall development as a wrestler. While genetics definitely play a role in her progression, Charlotte is a talented athlete on her own as a two-time state champion in volleyball. She has advanced to the point where her match this spring against Natalya for the vacant NXT Women€™s Championship was a show-stealer, possibly the best women€™s match in WWE/NXT this year. And all of this has come with just two years in the business. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_2TMPY0_PU At some point in the next year, Charlotte will make her way to WWE and hopefully help revitalize a Divas division that needs a shot in the arm of wrestling to counteract the dramatic storylines that currently dominate it. As Flair€™s daughter, Charlotte has a lot to live up to, but if she continues to grow by leaps and bounds, she€™ll live up to her family name and could elevate WWE women€™s wrestling with her.

He fortunately became a fan in time for WrestleMania III and came back as a fan after a long high school hiatus before WM XIV. Monday nights in the Carlson household are reserved for viewing Raw -- for better or worse.
