Charlotte On NXT Stars Going For Her Spot, Possibly Headlining WrestleMania


Ahead of her match against Becky Lynch with significant WrestleMania 35 implications at tonight's WWE Fastlane 2019 pay-per-view, Charlotte Flair spoke with the folks from The Austin Chronicle for an interview. Featured below are some of the highlights.

On looking forward to NXT Superstars moving to WWE main roster and going after her spot: "I want the new girls to come up and say, 'Hey, I want your spot.' I'll say, 'Try me.'"

On getting more TV time and the ability to have longer matches in NXT being the catalyst for the "Women's Evolution" in WWE: "Being with a group of women who were so hungry, and worked so well together, and then watching the women [on the main roster] not have the same opportunities. Then the women on the main roster seeing the women on NXT getting these opportunities like main-eventing [the NXT-branded PPV] TakeOver, main-eventing live events, and getting the buzz around, not having two-minute matches, but having 20-minute matches. It elevated everyone's game."

On possibly being one of the headliners in the first-ever women's main event at WrestleMania 35 this year: "I want to say it's hit me, but it hasn't yet. Just the fact that the women are the hottest topic right now – and I'm arguably the most hated superstar at the moment – is exciting. I sometimes sit there thinking, man, how hectic it was getting used to the schedule and being on Raw and SmackDown, and just thinking, 'Wow, I made it. I'm on the main roster.' And now to think where I am, it's been an incredible journey."
