NXT Diva Charlotte Flair appeared on Ring Rust Radio this week. You can check out the full interview above and read some highlights from the interview below:
Donny: Wrestling fans get to watch you on NXT every Wednesday at 8 p.m. on the WWE Network, and now they get to see you live on the NXT Tour which is making a stop at the Tower Theatre in Upper Darby on Thursday, May 14 and Friday, May 15. How do you feel about being one of the key stars in NXT’s first real tour of the United States and do you feel any additional pressure being an ambassador for the NXT Divas?
Oh wow. I am honored, I could not be more proud of where NXT is today. Obviously I am solely a product of NXT, I didn’t have any prior work, and I started at OVW before the performance center was a thing. Before we were even on the network we were with UK, Skysports, I am honored and it’s a big deal. NXT is going places and I couldn’t be more proud to be representing them and the female division right now. Especially with all the buzz around it it’s amazing.
Joe: The NXT Women’s Division has been one of the best parts of the weekly program. What do you think separates the NXT Women’s Division from the Divas Division and what are your thoughts on the grassroots Give Divas A Chance movement from the fans?
I can’t speak for the Divas on the main roster, but for the women down in NXT including: Bailey, Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch, Dana Brook, Alexa Bliss, Carmella, I have never met a bigger group of women who are so patient about what they do. We just mold and gel together so well. Triple H hired Sara Del Ray to work with us. She fights for us every single day, they trust us, they give us storylines, and time. We just run with it. With all those elements combined that’s why we are taking off right now and it’s an exciting time for women’s wrestling.
Donny: You have stepped into the ring with some of the best women in the wrestling industry during your career. Who has pushed you the hardest in the ring thus far and which Diva on the main roster are you most looking forward to squaring off against?
Well first I just want to say, Natalya help put me on the map. When I had my Takeover match and I won the NXT Women’s championship, I didn’t have that much experience at the time. She brought out something in the character Charlotte that I didn’t know I had and I ran with it. I can’t say one specific girl is harder than the other. Obviously when I work Sasha Banks, she’s the baddest. She is probably one of the best heels in the company today. So how I am with her is different than how I am with Bailey. Bailey is every single persons best friend. Then you have a new comer like Becky Lynch who is the number one contender. Other girls like Alexa Bliss, Dana Brook, Carmella, for Charlotte she just tries to tell the best story with each character. Natty, Sasha, Bailey, and me have had these Takeover matches and there was the fatal four way, but I like to work with everybody so I can’t just say there is one person. When I make the main roster, I would really like one more go with Natty. I beat her at Takeover, she beat me on Raw, its 1 for 1, so that’s who I would like forward to working.
