During a recent interview with PEOPLE on the red carpet at the 2025 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony, Charlotte Flair discussed her recent divorce from Andrade, her plans post-WrestleMania 41, and other topics.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On how she felt about speaking about her divorce: “I’ve felt a bit exposed. I think a weight has been lifted off my shoulders because ‘Charlotte’ had to be so perfect and pristine all the time and people couldn’t separate the character and who I am in real life.”
On sharing her authentic self: “So, getting all these things that have been really hard for me off of my chest, like, ‘This is who I am, accept me.’ It feels like I don’t have to — not necessarily hide — but I’m not worrying about, you know, ‘What’s going to happen today?’ Or in an interview, ‘Are they going to ask me and I’ll have to pivot to something else?’ It’s like, this is the authentic me. And it feels really good.”
On trying to showcase more of her true persona after WrestleMania 41: “On the opposite side of WrestleMania, I think I will tap more into that and kind of try to bring me — Ashley, the real person — to Charlotte, because I do feel like Charlotte really isn’t, the character I made is not relatable. If I could be ‘Charlotte’ in my real life, I would. In reality, if I wasn’t here right now, I’d be in sweats watching old episodes of Sex and the City. But no, I feel like at this stage in my career I’d like to pull the curtain back a little bit and show them like, hey I’ve been this hardcore, dominant b—- for however many years. But I’d like to also be able to high-five the kids as I walk down the aisle.”
During an interview with Denise Salcedo ahead of WrestleMania 41, Charlotte Flair discussed the rumored return of WWE Evolution and the emerging talent within the women’s division.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On the rumored return of WWE Evolution: “Like, I hear all these rumors, so, I mean it’s been, you know, a couple of years, so I think it would be a good time to [start it up again]. Overall, really, it’s just more about having more women’s storylines and more women main events.”
On the experience of some of the new women’s wrestlers: “Having those waves of inexperience, experience, and then – you know – having Tiffany [Stratton] come up a year ago, having Roxanne [Perez] come up, [Sol Ruca] winning the Speed title? I think it’s great.”
