Fansided.Com conducted an interview with Charlotte where she discusses her career and her future goals.

When the name Ric Flair is spoken, many individuals know who he was and what he has done for the wrestling community in his 40 plus years in the squared circle. Now his daughter Charlotte (Ashley Fliehr) has taken the Diva’s division by storm. She is the current NXT Women’s Champion and has shown that women can handle their own in the wrestling business.

Charlotte was kind enough to talk about her career, her goals and expectations, and what it was like to make her debut on WWE Raw.

With the NXT still being the developmental area for the WWE, how is it for you to be one of the lead performers having been the “Women’s Champion” until Wednesday night?
“Honestly, I soak it up every single day. I can’t say it gets old. To be able to represent NXT and see how far the brand has come in the last year, I am so honored. It’s very humbling to know that we have come a long way and I take it extremely serious.”

On December 9th, you debuted on WWE Raw and had a match against Natalya, which ultimately you lost via rollup. What were your feelings when you got the call that you were going to get to debut one of the biggest stages on WWE Raw?
“To be honest I don’t think about the match itself. I look at this being one of the first opportunities of many that I will have in the future. Just to have the opportunity to whether it was one minute or twenty minutes was great to highlight the future (NXT), and myself.

“Natty has been there for the biggest moments in my career. She was my very first dark match at NXT. She was my first NXT Special match where I won the women’s championship. These were very special moments and I don’t think it could have gone any better.” Read the rest of this entry

With tonight being NXT Takeover: Rival, we got together with other NXT fansite owners to give you full predictions of every match on the card. We’ve tried to be as honest as possible with our views,

Charlotte vs Bayley vs Sasha Banks vs Becky Lynch (NXT Women’s Championship Match)

Shirlz: Quite honestly, this could go any way. I want to say Charlotte will retain, but there’s only a 25% chance of that happening, and I think this would be a fitting way for Charlotte’s reign to come to a close. I’m going to go out on a limb and say that Becky Lynch will shock the NXT Universe and become the new NXT Women’s Champion, but I am hoping Charlotte pulls something out of the bag and retains the title. I just have a feeling that won’t be happening. Winner- Becky Lynch

Bre- BayleyFansite.Com: OH THE SLAYAGE! Ok so first NXT divas are amazing, and the WWE Divas are amazing. The difference in how they’re all represented kills my heart but we won’t get into WWE’s sexist ways. This divas fatal four way is going to make history. Each girl brings something completely different to the table. I’m excited for this match because it gives you a chance to see how amazing these women are. I’m not 100% sure how this is going to play out, all I can say is Charlotte won’t walk out as champ. I’m going to say Bayley since she has been rejuvinated with a new serious attitude. Winner- Bayley

Darrius- Sasha-Banks.Com: Originally, there was some doubt between my decision but I’m going with my gut. In this Fatal 4 Way, I honestly believe anyone could win. However, I think the popular decision is spilt between 2 winners; Sasha Banks and Bayley. Sasha and Bayley have had issues rooting back to her BFFs days with just Summer. Bayley was often targeted by the BFFs. Now that the BFFs have broken up, Sasha and Bayley have continued to be thorns in each others side. While yes, Bayley does deserve to win the title, I think she will, what better way than having Sasha steal the win from her last minute. Winner-­ ​Sasha Banks

Conor- Kevin-Owens.Com: Is it time for Charlotte to lose the title? Yes it is, she’s had a great run but she’s ready for the main stage, which I think she’ll get the call up after wrestlemania and insert herself into the title picture. If you follow me on my personal Twitter you’ll know I don’t like Becky Lynch, her wrestling or character, so next. Bayley, next. Sasha Banks won me over at the last NXT special and I’m a fan oh hers now, she’s ready for the title. Winner- Sasha Banks

Ada- SamiZaynSource.Com: I 100% don’t see Charlotte walking out the woman’s champion tonight. She’s going up against three of the top divas in NXT and while she maybe “genetically superior” she doesn’t even have to be pinned to lose. Then that leaves who is going to walk out champion? This is probably going to be the hardest pick for me but…Bayley. As much as I love Sasha and want her to win, I think Bayley will overcome it all and win tonight. Bayley is the female Sami Zayn. She’s the fan favorite. After being knocked down, and being told that she can’t be champion, she’s gonna finally prove everyone wrong. She’s coming back from an injury and what bigger way to get any redemption is proving your doubters wrong by winning the title. Becky, is just a filler for this match, in my opinion. While Sasha is smart and crafty, as we saw at [R]Evolution, she’s not focused on the championship after what happened between her and former tag partner, Becky. I think it’s all Bayley tonight. Winner- Bayley

Summary: Charlotte- 0 | Sasha Banks- 2 | Becky Lynch- 1 | Bayley- 2
