Ric Flair: Charlotte would be ‘as big as Serena Williams’ if she surpasses 16 World Title reigns

During a Q&A on his podcast, WWE Hall Of Famer Ric Flair was asked who, if anybody, would he like to see surpass his 16 World Title reigns:

“Charlotte, without even thinking. I think it would make a statement heard around the world. She would overnight be as big as Serena Williams. Absolutely. She would be recognized in that light. They’re finally getting to the point where the women athletes are getting recognition. Women are getting more recognition, period, in business and in the business world, which is only fair. If Charlotte were to break our record, I mean, why not? I can tell you right now, we’re not talking about a 2.5 (the rating), we’re talking about a 3.5 with me and Cena walking out there the day she breaks the record. It’s very conceivable she could.”

Charlotte recently told Ryan Satin’s Out of Character podcast that she did not know that she would be winning the SmackDown Women’s Title until she got to the show. She said, “I didn’t find out I was winning the title till I got there. I didn’t have my gear with me. My amazing cleaning lady brought me my gear. I should have known better, like, I’m coming to a wrestling show. I just brought my outfit. I thought it was just going to be like a walkout surprise because I’d been gone for so long. There didn’t need to be any, like, major fireworks. But no, when I got there, they’re like,’ Oh, you need your gear.’”
