Charlotte, how do you feel in your career now?
«For the first time in my career, I'm really having fun«.But you already have many achievements, right?
“Yes of course. I am 14 WWE Champion, 16 if I tell NXT's female titles, I was also a champion in couples and the only woman who won the Royal Rumble twice. I was also one of the five women to head Wrestlemania. But all that came with a lot of pressure«.That pressure for being “flair” affected you?
«Yes, since I entered WWE in 2013 I felt the weight of having to be better than the best and face constant criticism when I succeeded. That burden can break anyone and almost happened to me«.How do you handle that pressure?
«I always felt the pressure of being perfectmaintain the perfection of the queen's character without fraying.And now? Has something changed?
«Yes, now I feel the lighter shoulders. That constant pressure is gone and I am showing a more authentic and vulnerable version, far from the character of private and limousine that I have interpreted during the last decade. And I love it ».Do you consider yourself more “fun” now?
«Yes, I'm a bit silly, the truth«.How is your new stage in teams, now that you are with Alexa Bliss?
«I am chasing gold, but not the one I looked for most of my career. After losing the female title against Tiffany Stratton in WrestleMania 41, I am now in the division in couples, along with Alexa Bliss, forming an unusual duo. But we work well and we go for the Evolution Championship«.What does Alexa contribute to your character?
«Alexa has taken a softer side of me. We have a story since we were at the entrance of Triple H in Wrestlemania 30. I admire her a lot and, for me, she is like the fifth “Horsewoman” of our legendary group«.
How will this alliance influence your character?
«I think mixing our styles will give more layers to the queen that we have all seen so stoic for years. I'm pushing out of my comfort zone to explore if I can be the crazy queen, the killer queen, Queen undo or the crooked queen and friend of Lexi«.What about your most personal side, Ashley Fliehr?
«Since I returned in January of a serious injury, I have been more vulnerable. I am not only the queen, Ric Flair's daughter. Now I can show my real, insecure and human side, something that the public had not seen before«.How do you handle uncertainty about your future?
«I don't know what will happen, but I know I will do it in my way. I love what I do and I don't want to think about an expiration date for my career«.Do you plan to retire soon?
«No, I will not give up without fighting«.What are your goals now?
«Although it does not bother me not to be in the main event, I still want to overcome my father's world reigns recordalthough John Cena already broke it. But that is for another time ».What is the most important thing for you today?
«Finding new layers for my character and seeing what it becomes. I can win a championship in pairs or not win another title. And okay, while I am having fun«.What motivates you most now?
«I challenge myself to take another step, win gold or not, because I love this«.
