Charlotte Flair Reveals Original WWE Ring Name Proposal

Charlotte Flair, one of WWE's most celebrated female wrestlers, recently revealed that she originally wanted her ring name to be 'Elizabeth Reid' as a tribute to both legendary wrestling manager Miss Elizabeth and her late brother, Reid. Despite her preference, WWE management ultimately chose 'Charlotte' for her, a decision she believes may have been made as a lighthearted nod to her father Ric Flair, who was long billed from Charlotte, North Carolina. While initially hesitant about the name, Flair has since embraced it and built a highly successful career, becoming a 14-time Women's Champion. She also mentioned a fondness for the character Charlotte from 'Sex and the City,' but emphasizes the deeper connection to her family's wrestling legacy.
