Former SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair spoke with
The Mirror recently and discussed the landscape of women’s wrestling in the WWE these days. “The Queen” said that the strong competition always keeps her motivated to ensure she mainstay her position at the top:
"What I love about the new crop of women is that I look at them and I go 'wow, I need to up my game'. We continue to hire women who seem to already be polished and who have already made it outside of WWE, and whose whole goal was to get to WWE," Flair said. "That makes me think that I need to work that much harder because this crop of girls can take my spot. I am more excited to see what we have built now and what the women who are [coming through] have built for the future because I don't think it is going to stop at Evolution."
Flair has been in the pro wrestling business for nearly seven years and with the new crop of talent coming into the locker room, the former Smackdown Women’s champion comments on if she’s taken on the veteran role to the new girls in the WWE locker room:
"It's hard to say that I look at myself as a veteran or someone more experienced, because my career still is fairly new," Flair said. "I can't say that five years is a long time, especially when the women I came up with had experience all over the world before me. What I hope to represent for [younger wrestlers] is what it takes for someone to become a WWE superstar - and that's inside and out of the ring, because there's so much more - it's media, it's Make a Wish, it's signings and just being a role model outside of the ring."
