CHARLOTTE FLAIR COMMENTS ON WANTING TO BE THE MAIN EVENT & FACING RHEA RIPLEY, CHYNA BIOGRAPHY ON A&E, AMARI MILLER AND MORE

Several of the upcoming WWE live event dates have been dubbed the "Rhodes to Wrestlemania" tour with Cody Rhodes appearing.

Charlotte Flair was at the Daytona 500 over the weekend and was interviewed by The Daytona Journal-News at this link.  She noted that she hasn't noticed a difference in WWE creatively with Paul Levesque at the helm of creative yet.   On her Wrestlemania bout with Rhea Ripley, she commented, " First, let's start with the main event (aspect). I always find it so odd when people say, 'Why does Charlotte always want to main-event?' Isn't that what you want as a performer? If you're a football team, you want to be at the Super Bowl, right? I don't understand the criticism over that. Why wouldn't you want to be a champion?  With Rhea, we're not starting from scratch. We have so much history. We have our first faceoff Friday. I'm not planning anything in my head creatively because I want to feel the energy. I want to feel what the audience thinks of how far she's come, and where I'm at now. Will it be a different vibe? Are they going to want to see her beat me, or do they know she's not ready? I have to feel it out there, depending on my mind, what direction to go.  At the same time, I feel how Rhea feels will be much different. I beat her for the NXT title, I beat her for the Raw title. That's something, in her heart: "I know I can beat Charlotte. I have to beat Charlotte." I feel like she has something to prove to herself. … And we naturally have such great chemistry. I know she's going to bring it, and she knows I'm going to bring it."

However, Cena's public criticisms of The Rock led to verbal attacks both on and off the screen and eventually a dream match for WWE fans.
