#4. Charlotte Flair worked as a ring announcer in FCW

Before becoming one of the best in-ring performers in WWE, Charlotte Flair had another job in FCW. In her early days in WWE, The Queen worked as a ring announcer at FCW events.

In her book Second Nature: The Legacy of Ric Flair and the Rise of Charlotte, Flair revealed a few details about her time as a ring announcer.

"When I was told I was going to be a ring announcer, I thought someone was playing a joke on me. I thought, Well, this is one way to deal with stage fright. I was terrified when I was told I’d start out in front of the camera, in front of an audience, and stand in the middle of the ring as the ring announcer for FCW. The crowds usually totaled thirty to fifty people. They were very loyal fans, and they knew I was Ric Flair’s daughter. Usually at least once a show I’d hear 'WOOOOO!' from the crowd. I was so nervous. I got compliments on my ring announcing, but I thought I was terrible. It’s tougher than it looks," Charlotte Flair wrote.

Flair's run as an FCW ring announcer did not last long. In November 2012, she had her first-ever one-on-one match against Emma at NXT Tampa Show, in which she suffered a defeat.
