Quotes from Charlotte Flair

'Raw' wants to be the better brand; 'SmackDown' wants to be the better brand. A bunch of alphas on both brands.

To know how far I've come as a person and an entertainer and a businesswoman, I just hope I represent independence and intelligence and athleticism - everything that a woman should want to be.

If you had asked me in my early 20s or in high school if I was going to wrestle, I would have laughed at you.

I walked out very nervous, my first WrestleMania, and I had my dad beside me.

I want to be the first female to main-event WrestleMania, and I just want to continue to get better and better and continue my dad's legacy.

The most challenging thing that female wrestlers face is time. Getting those segments on Raw, getting one, two, three, four segments on SmackDown, main-eventing a pay-per-view, being considered a face of the division... And I have said it since day one: I want to be an attraction for the company.

No one understands what it's like to walk in the shadow of a famous father, let alone Ric Flair, in the wrestling industry.

I don't know if me and my dad have necessarily touched on this because we talk about Reid but not a lot.
