Charlotte Flair, Ronda Rousey, and Becky Lynch made history at WrestleMania 35, becoming the first women to headline the Showcase of the Immortals. The three faced off in a winner-take-all triple threat match with both the RAW and SmackDown Women’s Championships on the line.
Charlotte spoke about her role in the match, and her perception with the public, in a recent appearance on Busted Open Radio. You can read some highlights of her comments below:
On feeling that she was the glue that held the match together: “Yes, I do. You have this hot babyface, Becky Lynch, that the fans love. You’ve got this woman [Rousey] who paved the way and showed that women could main event pay-per-view in UFC. I definitely feel like I made it all come together. Yes, the narrative is fun to say that I was shoe-horned or however the inside circle wants to talk about me, but I know what my purpose was. Looking back now, I’m okay with that.”
On fans’ perception of her: “Do you feel like people are constantly poking at me and I never give them anything? I’ve been so consistent in the public. I never put down other talent to prop myself up. There is constant Charlotte hate. I don’t feel it, and I feel like sometimes, that’s what they’re looking for. I was a part of [WrestleMania] 35 happening. No matter what they want me to say, no one will ever take that away from how I feel about myself, the performance, and the storyline.”
