Charlotte Flair believes WWE is taking a step in the right direction.
The Queen gave her thoughts on a number of topics during a recent interview with WFAN. She talked about things such as the trailblazers of women’s wrestling in WWE, the story of CM Punk stealing her robe, potential romantic storyline in WWE and more.
During the talk, the wrestling veteran was asked about the growth of WWE in her time with the company. Flair mentioned how women’s wrestling has especially come very far in the last few years, noting that she is the first woman to main event a WWE PPV, and main event WrestleMania. She also discussed how females from her generation are the first to have ever wrestled a match in Abu Dhabi.

Charlotte Flair then brought up WWE’s events in Saudi Arabia while talking about the company’s global growth. This prompted the question about what Americans think about the treatment of women in the Middle East, and the former Women’s Champion explained that their shows are a step in the right direction for women:
No, it’s awesome to be able to perform. No, for sure. I mean, we still have to wear the bodysuits, but I think that’s just a step forward in the right direction. And for little girls and little boys to see the opportunities that women are given within the ring and see that like, ‘Hey, I could do that.’ It’s so important; it’s bigger than us. It’s bigger than what we do.
The female star has been part of two WWE tours in Saudi Arabia. She wrestled in a tag team match during the 2022 Elimination Chamber PPV and then competed in the Royal Rumble match at this year’s event.
