Since her main roster debut in 2015, Charlotte Flair has dominated WWE’s women’s division, becoming the most decorated female superstar in the company’s history.
Behind the scenes, however, Flair — real name Ashley Fliehr — has faced personal challenges, including injuries and multiple divorces.
Speaking to PEOPLE ahead of WrestleMania 41, Charlotte revealed her desire to bring more authenticity to her on-screen character. She said,
“After WrestleMania, I want to tap into that more — to blend Ashley, the real me, with Charlotte. The character I created isn’t exactly relatable. Honestly, if I could be ‘Charlotte’ in real life, I would. But the reality is, if I wasn’t here right now, I’d probably be at home in sweats, watching Sex and the City. I feel like at this point in my career, it’s time to pull the curtain back a little. I’ve been this hardcore, dominant b*tch for years, but now I want to show a different side — the side that high-fives kids on the way to the ring.”
At WrestleMania 41, Flair fell short in her quest to reclaim the WWE Women’s Championship, losing to Tiffany Stratton.
