Charlotte Flair reveals the real reason why she started wrestling; it's not her dad

Charlotte Flair is undoubtedly one of the greatest women’s superstars in WWE history. She has achieved almost everything in her illustrious tenure with the Stamford-based promotion and carried the legacy of her father, Ric Flair, with grace. However, she recently revealed that she didn’t get into pro wrestling because of her dad.

Speaking in an interview with WrestleZone, Charlotte Flair revealed the real reason she started wrestling. The Queen divulged that she didn’t enter pro wrestling for her dad Ric Flair, she started wrestling for her little brother Reid Flair, who tragically passed away in 2013.

“I know what I thought about. I didn’t get into wrestling from my dad. It was for my little brother. And I think people kind of forget that. Like, I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for him,” she said (H/T: Ringside News)
