Charlotte Flair may be "The Queen" now, but her royal heinous wasn't always so comfortable with a solo seat in the throne.
During a recent edition of his official podcast, "Oh... You Didn't Know with Road Dogg Brian James," longtime behind-the-scenes WWE executive and WWE Hall of Fame legend from D-Generation X, Road Dogg Brian James, spoke about Charlotte's reaction to WWE deciding to stop having "The Nature Boy" serve as the on-air manager for his real-life daughter.
“You know, I think she was torn, and I don’t think she showed it a lot," Road Dogg said when touching on the topic on a recent installment of his official show. "But I think she was torn as, this is my time, and this is the prime time of my career. And here I am, in his shadow again, you know what I mean?"
The New Age Outlaws tag-team member and member of the legendary Armstrong wrestling family continued, elaborating on the subject with his opinion, from first-hand experience, of how she likely was eager to spread her wings and fly on her own without the legend-rub from her iconic father.
"Or I can understand her thinking that, because I relate and that maybe insecurities talking, but maybe I just I just feel like I felt at times, I wish I could just do this on my own," James said. "You know what mean? I think it is too, no matter whose father, brother, sister, whatever, like, man, I love teaming with you, but God, I’d love to get out on my own. You know, and then the band breaks up.”
