Ric Flair: Charlotte vs. Bianca At WrestleMania Will Be As Big As Austin vs. Rock If Built Right
Ric Flair weighs in on a potential Charlotte Flair vs. Bianca Belair bout.
Flair has always spoken highly of his daughter Charlotte Flair and her in-ring ability, especially her athleticism. He’s also called her the best female wrestler of all-time. On the athleticism side of things, Flair does put Bianca Belair in the same category as Charlotte and would love to see a showdown between the two.
“I have no inclination as to whether or not this will happen, but I think if Ashley [Charlotte Flair] wrestles Bianca Belair at WrestleMania, it’ll be as big as Austin and Rock if they build it right. They are the two best athletes ever, that I’ve seen in my career, to ever be in the same women’s division. There are some other great workers, but for pure athletic ability, Bianca Belair and Ashley stand out. They could be the two best athletes in the company. I’m not kidding. Both are legitimate Division 1 athletes with credentials,” he said on his To Be The Man podcast.
Belair was All-SEC and All-American during her time at Tennessee as a track and field athlete. Charlotte was a standout volleyball player at Appalachian State University.
Belair is the reigning WWE Raw Women’s Champion. Charlotte hasn’t been on WWE TV since losing the WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship to Ronda Rousey at WWE WrestleMania Backlash. It is unknown when she will return.
