Charlotte Flair won her 12th WWE Championship when she defeated Rhea Ripley for the NXT Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 36. For Charlotte, this was an opportunity to show that she is truly as good as she says she is while also getting a chance to elevate a newcomer.
Speaking with TVInsider, Charlotte talked about her mindset going into WrestleMania 36, not looking at the NXT Championship as a demotion, and more.
You can see some highlights below.
Charlotte On WrestleMania 36 Being An Opportunity For Her And All Involved:
“In the time leading up to WrestleMania, I usually keep to myself, not a lot of socializing. I try to stay as focused as possible. This year was no different. I didn’t really think about it being at the PC versus the Buccaneers stadium. I see it as an opportunity to prove to the world I’m one of the greatest WWE superstars of all-time.
“In my opinion, I knew it had the potential of being the most-watched Mania with people wanting content, and it ended up being two nights. I just looked at it more as an opportunity to show you don’t need a live audience to bring that intensity.”

Charlotte Flair On Not Feeling Demoted By NXT Championship:
“I didn’t really go into it thinking I could be wearing the NXT women’s championship, and what does that mean for my future. It was more taking this newcomer that’s going to be the next big thing and stringing the story that nobody thought was possible. Seeing people in NXT face Raw and SmackDown talent, how can I steal the show? I always say it’s not the title that makes the woman, it’s the woman that makes the title. What that could mean moving forward? Paying it back.”
Charlotte Flair On Who She Wants To Work In NXT:
“Mia Yim, Candice LeRae, and I’m sure Bianca Belair wants a rematch. I haven’t really thought about that yet. It’s crazy, a whole new group of girls. Everyone knows that I’m probably the most competitive person in the locker room, so I’m going to want to have the best division.”
