Charlotte Flair has little left to prove in professional wrestling, having accomplished nearly everything over the course of her decade-plus run in WWE. Widely regarded by many as one of the greatest female performers of all time, the 14-time world champion recently sparked debate by weighing in on her personal Mount Rushmore of women’s wrestling.
Speaking during an appearance on Graps The Podcast, Flair reflected on the evolution of women’s wrestling and how far the division has come in recent years. She went on to name her former NXT peers, many of whom she considers close friends, as her picks for the Mount Rushmore of the women’s division.
Charlotte Flair Names The Four Horsewomen As Her Mount Rushmore Of Women’s Wrestling
During the podcast, Charlotte Flair was asked to name her Mount Rushmore of women’s wrestling, and she pointed to the iconic Four Horsewomen: Sasha Banks, Bayley, Becky Lynch, and herself, as a defining influence on both her career and the next generation of talent.
Flair explained that the group played a central role in shaping her passion for the business and credited them as a major reason behind her journey in wrestling.
She revealed, “I always say the Four Horsewomen just because they’re who and why I fell in love with wrestling. Not that I didn’t respect or love or look up to the women before me… we all have kind of gone our separate paths, but had I not been with that core when I started, I don’t know where I’d be today”.
