Charlotte Flair steps onto Mount Rushmore of Wrestling alongside her dad Ric Flair as she predicts ‘cheeky’ Money in the Bank winner for WWE London show
Charlotte Flair will be competing in her seventh WrestleMania this weekend as she defends her SmackDown Women’s Title against Rhea Ripley.
The Queen, daughter of WWE icon Ric Flair, has fought for a championship in every edition of the Immortals showcase she has featured in.
The 14-time women’s world champion only made her main roster debut in 2015, but has already carved out a career worthy of the Hall of Fame.
His father Ric is among the greatest of all time with a career spanning over 50 years encompassing a record 16 title reigns.
The 74-year-old is regularly in the conversation for a wrestling version of Mount Rushmore, most recently included on The Undertaker’s roster.
Charlotte was snubbed by WWE legend Trish Stratus’ choice of four for her own female version.
However, in an interview withtalkSPORTCharlotte said she wouldn’t just put on a female Mount Rushmore, but overall wrestling alongside Ric.
She told talkSPORTTalkWRESTLING podcast“You have to believe in yourself, right? I’m going to sit over there next to my father.

Flair is hoping to successfully defend his title at ‘Mania, with a massive Money in the Bank PPV in London on the horizon this summer.
As the defending champion, the 36-year-old is particularly vulnerable, with the MITB winner guaranteed the right to a league game anytime, anywhere.
Despite this, Flair relishes the prospect of potentially returning to England while hinting at which wrestler she may have to watch out for.
Flair told talkSPORT: “For me, I have so many memories in the 02, I got to fight Paige there, Sasha (Banks) there, Ronda (Rousey) there.
“I feel very comfortable in England, especially with the sequel to NXT, and RAW and SmackDown and all the years playing there, but who the briefcase do I want to date?
“Nobody – If I’m still the champion…but I guess Sonya Deville would be a cheeky briefcase winner, I’d feel like she’d hurt my neck but she’d be good.”
