Charlotte Flair is known for playing one of WWE’s most dominant villains, but even “The Queen” has a soft side when it comes to her younger fans.
During an interview with WrestleZone, Charlotte opened up about what it felt like to finally settle into a babyface role—and how much she misses that connection with the crowd.
The interviewer pointed out how his own daughters love seeing Charlotte on TV, despite her often playing the bad guy. That sparked Charlotte to reflect on the brief period before her injury when she embraced the good guy role and truly enjoyed it.
“So, I spoke about this earlier at Fanatics Live, how before I got injured, I was really in a groove being a good guy and really enjoyed it. I was really getting that good guy reaction on live events. And it was, like, the first time in my career that I felt comfortable as a good guy. Like, I just went with it. I loved it. I was digging it. And then I got hurt.”
Charlotte explained that coming back after injury and immediately returning to her dominant role made it harder to get the crowd’s sympathy. She compared her success to a sports dynasty that fans eventually get tired of rooting for.
“And then when I came back—and how I came back—and obviously winning the Rumble twice isn’t like… and I don’t mean this in a bad way, but you don’t want the Yankees to always win, you know what I mean? So, that is harder to gain that sympathy, that good guy feel.”
Despite that, Charlotte made it clear she hasn’t given up on stepping back into the fan-favorite role at some point. For her, it’s all about the connection with the audience, especially young fans.
“But I do hope later down the road that I can transition back into that, because I really do enjoy seeing the kids. And that’s what it’s all about, right? It’s the fan interaction. And, you know, if it wasn’t for you guys, we’d be out of business.”
Charlotte’s future in WWE is wide open, and it sounds like she’s ready to let fans see a different side of “The Queen” when the time is right.
