CHARLOTTE FLAIR

-

The daughter of wrestling’s greatest villain, 16-time World Champ Ric Flair, Charlotte “The Queen” is credited with helping to bring a new, young female audience to WWE.

She was the first of the new arrivals to win the Divas Title and the first to win the Raw Women’s Championsh­ip.

She has also been one of the leading figures in the brand’s “women’s evolution”, after her bout against Sasha Banks – a cousin of rapper Snoop Dogg – at Hell in a Cell in 2016 was the first women’s match to headline a WWE pay-per-view. That paved the way for the first women’s Royal Rumble match. Charlotte, whose real name is Ashley Fliehr, 31, has also branched out into acting, starring in last year’s Psych: The Movie.
