During a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, Charlotte Flair discussed her ongoing pursuit of her father’s record for title wins.
John Cena recently broke Ric Flair’s record at WrestleMania 41, where he secured his 17th World Championship against Cody Rhodes.
Charlotte currently has 14 World Title victories to her name.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On John Cena breaking her father’s title record: “Records are meant to be broken. I don’t wanna speak for my dad, but I think in this case I can, John was the guy to do it. And I think he couldn’t be more proud of John. Even me seeing John Cena and what he means to the industry and what he means to me as a performer, I don’t think it was sad. The record stood the test of time for a very long time and it was finally broken.”
On her match against Tiffany Stratton at WrestleMania 41: “I think the match was everything that it needed to be. It definitely got super personal, extremely heated going into WrestleMania. The personal story and how physical it was, the elaborate entrances, we both had our own unique entrance. I thought she showed up and showed out. I thought it was great.”
On potentially tying or breaking her father’s record: “The first part of my career, I really didn’t think about it. Now that I’m so close, I don’t think for me it’s about tying or breaking John, but… could I have the opportunity to tie or break my father. The competition was with him, not necessarily tied to Cena.”
