Aalyah and Charlotte both defied their fathers on WWE TV
#1 Charlotte Flair tells Ric Flair she doesn't need him anymore
Ric Flair and Charlotte
Back in 2016, Hall of Famer Ric Flair was appearing with his daughter Charlotte Flair on WWE TV. He even interfered in her matches on various occasions, most notably against Becky Lynch at the 2016 Royal Rumble pay-per-view. Following WrestleMania 32, Charlotte Flair kicked off a feud with Natalya, that saw Ric Flair and Bret 'The Hitman' Hart getting involved in the mix. At the Extreme Rules pay-per-view, Charlotte Flair took on Natalya with the Women's title on the line. She won the match due to interference by Dana Brooke, who was dressed as Ric Flair.
Both Ric and Charlotte Flair have built legendary careers in WWE
On the next night, Charlotte Flair dropped a bombshell by turning on her father and declaring that she doesn't need him anymore. Charlotte Flair stated that she was sick of hearing that she was Ric Flair's daughter, and from that point on, Ric was Charlotte's dad. As Ric Flair begged and pleaded to his daughter, she berated him even more and ordered him to leave the ring, which he eventually did.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
