Charlotte Flair

REWIND: Flair, Lynch, & Carmella Come Face to Face SmackDown Live 08.14.18

by

It has been over four years since Carmella has held singles gold in WWE. Since then she has gone on to become WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion along with Zelina Vega.

On the Aug. 14 episode of SmackDown Live in 2018, then-SmackDown Women’s Champion Carmella came face to face with her SummerSlam opponents Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch. After losing to both Lynch and Flair in non-title bouts, both women were set to face Carmella at the biggest event of the summer in a Triple Threat match. Lynch originally had thought that she was going to face Carmella one-on-one.

This segment between the three women led to Flair stating that the fans don’t like Carmella because she is a Diva living in a women’s era. To which Carmella responded – “I am a Diva and I am damn proud of it. I have something you two will never have. Compare my beauty to yours. Compare my body to yours. Compare my charisma to yours. Oh, I have one more comparison. I am the champ and you’re not.”

The three would go on to have their match at SummerSlam where Flair would become the new champion after pinning Lynch. Carmella’s reign lasted 131 days. Post-match, Lynch turned heel by attacking Flair.

You can watch the full match below which has 6.1 million views on YouTube. The segment from SmackDown Live has 1.2 million views.

Charlotte Flair Celebrates Nine Years In WWE

by

It has been nine years today, July 17, since Charlotte had her first match on NXT programming. Her signing took place in 2012, however, she would win her debut match in 2013 against Bayley.

Charlotte would go on to win the NXT Women’s Championship and would eventually be called up to the main roster in 2015 along with Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch. She would quickly become Divas Champion after defeating Nikki Bella to end her longest reign. Flair would be the last Divas Champion before the WWE Women’s Championship (eventual and current Raw Women’s Championship) would be introduced and the Divas would be referred to as simply Superstars moving forward.

In the nine years that Flair has been in the ring with WWE she has accomplished the following –

  • 6-time Raw Women’s Champion  
  • 6-time SmackDown Women’s Champion
  • 2-time NXT Women’s Champion
  • WWE Divas Champion
  • WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion
  • Fourth Grand Slam Champion
  • 2020 Royal Rumble Winner
  • One of three women to be the first to main event WrestleMania

Becky Lynch just recently celebrated eight years since her in-ring debut. You can read about her accomplishments by clicking here.

Flair is currently out of action since WrestleMania Backlash in May in order to get married.

Flashback Match: Sasha Banks vs. Charlotte Flair – Raw 07.25.16

by

This week’s Flashback Match Friday is a match between Sasha Banks and Charlotte Flair that would be the start of a series of unforgettable matches for the Women’s Championship (eventually renamed Raw Women’s Championship).

Flair became the first Women’s Champion as the Divas Championship was retired at WrestleMania 32 after a tremendous Triple Threat battle against both Banks and Becky Lynch. Banks wasn’t finished with her vision to win her first gold on the main roster and she does it in this very match.

On Raw nearly six years ago to the day on July 25, Flair defended her title in the first of six matches the two would have for the Raw Women’s Championship. At the time, the back and forth of the title exchange seemed unnecessary, but looking back it can be credited to how important the championship is and what it represents.

In this particular match, Banks would win her first gold on the main roster. She was previously an NXT Women’s Champion much like Charlotte. However, Charlotte had won the Divas Title and now held the Women’s Championship before The Boss.

The final moments of the match saw a series of Bank Statements. After locking it in, Flair was able to roll away from it to get closer to the ropes but Banks locked it in again. Flair would get her foot on the ropes to break the hold. Seething, Flair told Banks that she will never beat her. This just before Banks executed the backstabber into another Bank Statement. Flair would tap and we had a new Women’s Champion.

As mentioned earlier, the two women would go on to have five more championship matches throughout 2016.

  • Charlotte Flair defeated Sasha Banks (c) – SummerSlam
  • Sasha Banks defeated Charlotte Flair (c) – Oct. 3 Raw
  • Charlotte Flair defeated Sasha Banks (c) – Hell in a Cell – First Women’s HIAC match
  • Sasha Banks defeated Charlotte Flair (c) – Nov. 28 Raw
  • Charlotte Flair defeated Sasha Banks (c) – Roadblock: End of the Line

These matches would go on to be referenced for years to come as Banks was ridiculed for not being able to hold onto a championship for more than 30-days. She would eventually do so with the SmackDown Women’s Championship and the Women’s Tag Team Championships.
