Charlotte Flair has been sitting at 14 singles championships under her name since the end of 2022.
That last reign ended at WrestleMania in 2023 where she lost to Rhea Ripley. Between a serious knee injury and being in the tag tram division, Ripley has been away from the singles championship picture for quite a bit. In fact, she hasn’t held singles gold since the current belt designs were created.
With her father’s record being 16 titles and only John Cena has surpassed that with 17, Charlotte is close to those numbers. In fact, the only active member of the full WWE roster who has as many as her is Randy Orton at 14 also.
Flair is heading into SummerSlam with the chance to win number 15. It is for an Interim WWE Women’a Champion where five women will compete in a ladder match. This is her first singles title opportunity since she lost to Tiffany Stratton at WrestleMania 41 last year.
Ahead of SummerSlam, Flair has talked about possibly winning number 15 with ESPN.
“Oh man. I’ve spent my entire career chasing titles, and I feel like titles chase me now. And to hold number 15… what has made the last two years so special to me is that I haven’t been in the title picture and I haven’t wrestled for a World Title since WrestleMania 41, ” said Flair. “So to hold 15, I think that as much as it means to me, I hope it means something to men and women everywhere watching: that no matter your age, no matter what you’ve been through, consistency, perseverance, and just showing up for yourself, um, will get you to where you want to be. And for me, it’s breaking records and making history, and I love what I do, and it’s when I wake up every morning and having that passion, it just hasn’t gone away and I hope that’s for anyone in any industry. That’s what number 15 I think means—it’s bigger than just me. I think it means that anything is possible, especially for me in a male-dominated industry… I’ve had this incredible career and to think that I’m going into my eighth SummerSlam wrestling for my 15th title as a woman in a male-dominated industry on ESPN… I would have never imagined that when I debuted in 2015.”
