Charlotte Flair Biography

Charlotte Flair is an American professional wrestler, author, and actor, who is the current SmackDown Women’s Champion. She is a second-generation wrestler in her family. Her father, Ric Flair, is known as one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time. She was born in Charlotte, North Carolina, to Ric and his then-wife, Elizabeth. Having a famous wrestler as her father had no special influence on the way she wanted her career to shape up. She was good at sports and excelled in basketball, volleyball, and gymnastics. However, while in university, she studied to become a personal trainer and then arrived in the ring as a wrestler. She signed with World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. (WWE) in May 2012 and appeared on her first televised fight a year later, on NXT, which saw her defeat Bayley. In July 2015, Charlotte was introduced to the WWE main roster and had her first stint with Raw. She then became the WWE Divas Champion. From the very beginning, she exhibited her talent to become the most-feared female superstar on Raw. In 2016, Pro Wrestling Illustrated named her the Woman of the Year and regarded her as the world’s top female professional wrestler. Since the beginning of her career, she has held six championship belts.
