Charlotte Flair isn’t just owning her resume—she’s now addressing why it might rub people the wrong way.
After recently stating she believes she has the strongest résumé in WWE’s women’s division, Charlotte Flair took things further during an April 8, 2026 appearance on Busted Open Radio, where she was asked by Dave LaGreca if she’s dealing with what he called “greatness hate.” Flair didn’t dodge it—she laughed it off at first, but then got real about the perception: “You’re saying I need new haters? Haha. I’m joking.”
Once the joking stopped, Flair admitted she understands exactly where that reaction comes from—comparing herself to dominant teams that people eventually get tired of seeing win.
“Do I think? I mean… yeah, I think. Well, you know—you don’t want the Patriots to win every year. You don’t want the Yankees to win every year. You don’t want Alabama to win every year.”
That’s where things turned more personal. Flair opened up about how frustrating it’s been trying to make sense of that pushback, especially considering what it takes to stay on top for as long as she has.
“So I understand. I’ve never been an underdog. Not that I’m an underdog right now, but I think it was more—I lost parts of… okay, I couldn’t understand why—‘Hey guys, do you know what it takes to be on top this long?’ And how serious the title means—what do you mean that’s not enough?”
She also made it clear she’s not standing still. Flair said she’s evolved over the past year and hinted that when that next gear kicks in, people are going to be reminded very quickly of what she brings.
“And understanding this past year, you don’t have to always be perfect to be in that spot, but there are layers I have added to Charlotte where, when you see that switch again, I think people are going to appreciate it more—like, ‘Holy s***, I forgot—that’s that intense.’”
Instead of just claiming she’s the best, Flair is acknowledging the backlash that comes with staying on top—and making it clear she’s aware of it, understands it, and is already adjusting her approach. That’s not someone out of touch—that’s someone who knows exactly how the game works and is preparing to hit another level at the right time.
So now the real question—does Charlotte Flair embracing that perception make her even more dangerous heading into the next phase of her run, or is this exactly why people are ready to see someone else take that spot? Drop your take and let’s hear it.
