When it comes to second generation wrestlers in the industry, few have lived up to the hype like Charlotte Flair has. The daughter of “Nature Boy” Ric Flair had a lot of pressure on her when she started her time in WWE, but that pressure created a diamond. Since her debut, she’s become a 14 time Women’s World Champion, often cited as the best overall female performer in the company. Her latest title win came as a surprise return on the December 30th episode of Smackdown Live, and Ric Flair said that he’s not seen Charlotte this happy in years.
Ric Flair Knew Charlotte Flair Was Itching To Get Back In The Ring
While appearing on the After The Bell podcast with Corey Graves, the WWE Hall of Famer would have a chance to express how happy he is for his daughter, and described the time she had away from the ring. Flair had the following to say.
“I’m so happy for her. The wedding happened at a time where she could take a break. The arm thing with Rhonda, and she got hit in the mouth in that same match and had a major issue with her teeth. But it was a well-deserved rest, and sometimes it’s good to walk away from it. There was certainly no loss of respect with Ronda Rousey. I thought they had a hell of a match. It was a good opportunity to get away. She and Andrade have had an opportunity to spend a lot of time together. They bought a new home. It’s really been good for her. But at the same time, I know how she bad she wanted to her back in, too. After a while, all that gets old, and now I want back in. She’s doing great. I’ve never seen her this happy, really in a long time.”
Right now, it seems like Ronda Rousey might not look for an immediate rematch, noting that she’s tired of Charlotte and wants to instead take over the tag team division.
