Charlotte Flair says teaming with Alexa Bliss has helped her show a more human side of her character in WWE.
WWE first teased a Charlotte Flair–Alexa Bliss tag team back in May. Although the two aren’t close friends, fans quickly embraced the pairing. The support was clear at WWE Evolution during a fatal four-way tag team match for the Women’s Tag Team Championship.
Charlotte Flair often gets booed even when playing a babyface. She was clearly surprised by the fan reaction. At WWE SummerSlam, Flair and Bliss defeated Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne to win the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles. Flair now enjoys this new side of her character, with fans cheering her on. She credits Bliss for helping make her character more relatable.
On Post Run High, Charlotte Flair explained that teaming with Bliss helped fans see the difference between her real self and her wrestling persona. “The fans are just now getting to enjoy the separation between who I am and the character. This summer I’ve partnered with someone who I came up in the business with, her name is Alexa Bliss and she has been able to humanise my character in a way that I never thought was possible.
Flair says fans often saw her as the most hated woman in wrestling, but now they respond more positively. “So I went from being like the number one hated female in the wrestling industry just like four months ago, to like ‘oh she’s not so bad’… I felt like Charlotte always had to be perfect because of the pressure of being Ric’s kid, being the 14-time Women’s Champion, always in the title picture. It was exhausting.” [H/T: Wrestletalk]
