On July 13, 2015, when Charlotte, the daughter of Ric Flair, made her main roster debut, very few fans expected her to be as successful as she is today. "The Queen" has shattered every record in the women’s division and has created history on multiple occasions. Be it playing the role of a heel or a face, fighting at live events or in the main event of WrestleMania, Charlotte has done it all.

During her iconic rivalry with Sasha Banks, the two female superstars had created history multiple times by stealing the show at pay-per-view events. Flair and Banks became the first female superstars to compete inside the unforgiving Hell In A Cell, where the former registered a victory to win the coveted RAW Women’s Championship.

Only two months after their Hell In A Cell match, the former NXT stars competed in a 30-minute Ironwoman match which saw Charlotte prevail once again. The scores were level at 2-2 after the stipulated time but, Flair beat Banks 3-2 in sudden death overtime.

After 2016, WWE has not used either of the two stipulations in the women’s division to date, which has made Flair the only female athlete to have emerged victorious in a Hell in a Cell match and an ironwoman match.

WrestleMania is the biggest pay-per-view on the WWE calendar, and it is the dream of every superstar to perform at the event. The Creative team often books big title changes for the WrestleMania show - In its short history of three and a half years, the SmackDown Women’s Championship has featured thrice on the match card of WrestleMania.

In the three title matches, only one has the champion been able to keep hold of her championship; that incident transpired at WrestleMania 34 where Flair ended the undefeated streak of Asuka to retain the SmackDown Women’s title.

Alexa Bliss had lost her championship in a six-pack challenge at WrestleMania 33 whereas Charlotte Flair had could not retain her title in a ‘Winner Take All’ match at WrestleMania 35. Hence, her successful title defense at WrestleMania 34 makes a unique champion.


#3 Won the RAW and SmackDown Women's Championship at SummerSlam

Speaking of Flair's record at WWE's second biggest pay-per-view event, SummerSlam, The Queen has never lost a match at this show, while capturing titles at the same time.

At SummerSlam 2016, she faced Sasha Banks in a RAW Women's Championship match. Charlotte dismantled The Boss to become a two-time RAW Women's Champion. She missed SummerSlam 2017 but then competed in a triple threat match for the SmackDown Women's Championship at the succeeding edition.

The match also involved the then-champion Carmella, as well as current Raw Women's Champion Becky Lynch. Though the fans remember that bout for Lynch's epic heel turn, Flair had earlier captured the SmackDown Women's Championship to become the first and only superstar to win the RAW and SmackDown Women's Championships at SummerSlam.

#2 Won the NXT Women's Championship, the Divas Title and the RAW and SmackDown Women's Championships

Charlotte Flair had developed the habit of winning championships as far back as her time in NXT, where she had won an eight-woman tournament to capture the NXT Women's Championship in April 2014. The Queen held the title for 258 days before losing it to Sasha Banks in a fatal four-way match at NXT TakeOver: Rival.

After moving to the main roster in 2015, she won the Divas Championship by defeating Nikki Bella at Night of Champions. WWE retired the Divas title at WrestleMania 32 and brought back the Women's Championship. Flair defeated Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch in a triple threat to win that title. Then, WWE assigned that belt to the RAW brand, making it the RAW Women's Championship.

Because of the Superstar Shakeup, Flair became a member of the SmackDown roster in 2017. She entered the title picture in October before winning the SmackDown Women's Championship on November 14 to become the first woman to win all the singles titles of WWE.

As mentioned earlier, Flair has won every women’s title available in the singles division, which shows that she has always been in the championship picture. Flair has won the Divas Championship once, the RAW Women’s Championship four times and the SmackDown Women’s Championship on four occasions as well.

Her total of 9 championship reigns makes her the most successful female superstar in WWE history. Trish Stratus had been a seven-time champion - however, Flair broke that record earlier this year. The two legendary women recently locked horns at SummerSlam 2019 where Charlotte defeated Stratus and seemingly ended the Hall of Famer's career.
