Ric Flair believes Charlotte Flair could surpass his world championship history
Ric Flair's daughter Charlotte Flair is already a multi-time champion in WWE. According to The Nature Boy, Charlotte could surpass his record of being a 16-time world champion.
Speaking on the To Be The Man podcast, Flair mentioned that he is proud to have his daughter compete in the Stamford-based promotion. He briefly discussed the SmackDown Women's Champion's success over the years, stating the following:
"I’m glad Ashley [Charlotte's real name] is with WWE. She couldn’t be more successful. I mean, 14 times guys. To me, it’s very realistic that she wins or actually surpasses the 16 goal. I think that would be on her plate. I think it’s something that is very possible."
