WWE Smackdown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair was recently interviewed on “Out of Character” with Ryan Satin, where she discussed a number of topics. Among them were her return to WWE, dental issues that kept her out of wrestling, how she found out she was winning the Smackdown Women’s Championship and more. Below are some highlights from the interview: On returning to WWE: “I didn’t feel any ring rust. The only difference is being a good guy instead of a bad guy, you know, wanting to tell my bad guy what to do (she laughs), but keep your mouth shut. But no, it’s been great. This is the first time I’ve really committed to being a good guy. Like, I’m all in. There’s no on the fence or I don’t want to do this or I feel awkward. I’m gonna go for it.” On dental issues that kept Charlotte out of the ring: “Literally a week before the wedding, the implant failed. So actually, during my ceremony, I had like 22 stitches up here because they had to cut out the, when it failed, it was an i..
It’s a different way to go. We are about to start the build to the biggest WWE event of the year with WrestleMania 39. Before we get there though, WWE has some more major shows to cover, with both the Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber. Those events need some big time matches as well, including multiple title matches. Now we might have a hint of what is coming next. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WATCH: Groom Does Seth Rollins Entrance At Wedding, Rollins Responds On the last SmackDown of 2022, Charlotte made a surprise return and defeated Ronda Rousey to become the new SmackDown Women’s Champion. Charlotte has since successfully defended her title against Sonya Deville and their feud seems likely to continue. However, over the weekend, Shayna Baszler unsuccessfully challenged Charlotte at two WWE live events.

Welcome back? Sometimes, WWE stars need to take some time away from the ring for one reason or another. You might see someone need time off for an injury, to advance a storyline, or maybe something personal. Either way, someone can be gone for a little while, but it can be interesting to see when they will be back. That might be the case again as a WWE star is being advertised for a return. An image has made its way to Twitter showing Charlotte being advertised for the July 15 SmackDown in Orlando, Florida. Assuming she does appear at the show and does not appear before elsewhere, this is her first appearance after being written off television at WrestleMania Backlash. Charlotte is missing time for her wedding to Andrade El Idolo, which took place this weekend. WWE is advertising Drew McIntyre as the top star for #SmackDown in Orlando, FL on July 15.

If the @wwe treated him like he was expendable it was because you ungrateful idiots did first” I’ve seen you same “fans” chanting #WeWantWyatt last night chanting “We want beach balls” over @WWEBrayWyatt performing.

She discussed a number of topics, including the Women’s Division, Andrade to AEW and more. Below are some highlights from the interview: On being a heel: “Yes, I’m the 13-time champion, but really, in the last couple of years, I have not had a successful title run,” Charlotte said. “Yes, I’ve been in the title picture non-stop, but besides the tag titles, I haven’t been the champion, but people just associate me [with that]. So, [I’m thinking], ‘Play into that, go with that,’ but I have been chasing. At the same time, like I said on Raw Talk, do I need a title to be Charlotte Flair? Absolutely not. Am I going to go into this any different? Absolutely not.” “I always want to be a heel,” she said. “When I came back after WrestleMania, there was no questioning what I am.

It’s the next step. Wrestlers are in a weird situation when it comes to acting. When they are acting, they are called wrestlers and when they are wrestlers, they are said to be acting. That is not the easiest situation in the world to get out of but on occasion, they get the chance to branch out from just being in the ring. You have to start somewhere and now we know where that is going for one top WWE star. Following her debut in July 2015 as part of the Women’s Revolution, Charlotte Flair has been one of the most successful stars in WWE. She has managed to win everything there is to win in WWE and has headlined both the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania. This is a bit of a problem when you are only thirty four years old, meaning she needs a new challenge. Now we might know what that is. According to Deadline Hollywood, Flair is scheduled to star in a remake of Walking Tall. The film will air on the USA Network as a television film with the chance of it being used to launch a new series..

Everything Becky Lynch had up to, during and after the main event was earned. She earned her place in the WrestleMania main event by winning the 2019 Women’s Royal Rumble Match.

After a heel turn in September for the first time in her WWE career, Bayley was able to regain the SmackDown Women’s Championship from Charlotte Flair, commencing her second title reign. Since then, Bayley has been champion for five months, and holds the longest reign in the history of the championship. Since her second title reign, Bayley has went through the gamut of women’s wrestlers, dominating the division. Bayley has been able to rack up wins over the past few months against names such as Nikki Cross, Dana Brooke, Lacey Evans, Carmella, and most recently – at Super ShowDown – Naomi. With an impressive list of wins, there looks to be no one else who could compete against her. Or, is there?

During an episode of Raw, The Sassy Southern Belle turned in from her walk without warning and suddenly clocked Lynch in the jaw with the..
Former WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns was recently interviewed by Sky Sports. This followed the WrestleMania 36 press conference earlier this week. During the interview, Reigns discussed why he believes the women deserve to close WrestleMania 35 this year. Seth Rollins defeated 29 other men in the Royal Rumble men’s match to earn the right to face Brock Lesnar for the WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania. This has led a number of fans to predict and hope that those two performers close out the show. It seems more possible now, more than ever, that women could close out the show. Becky Lynch faces Charlotte Flair this weekend at Fastlane- and a victory there, as predicted by most fans, would result in a triple threat between those two performers and RAW Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey for the Championship. For more information on that, check out the very short WWE Now clip below: [This post contains video, click to play] In his interview with Sky Sports, Reigns noted that..
