While speaking with Miami Herald’s Jim Farsaloni, Charlotte Flair complimented Rhea Ripley and said she’s grown a lot since the past three years but said she’s grown really well. Flair says that when they both compete against each other, it’s like titans.

“We’re both very aggressive and not many women get a chance to face each other again at WrestleMania,” Charlotte adds.

Charlotte Flair also pointed out that for Rhea Ripley’s first WrestleMania match there was no audience due to the pandemic and this time she really wants to show the latter all sides of the WWE Universe.

There’s also a good possibility that Rhea Ripley will have ringside Doomsday to help her out this time around. So when asked about the possibility of Dominic Mysterio in this match, Charlotte Flair joked that her husband is very protective of her and he is a really good wrestler. AEW star Andrade Idolo is Charlotte Flair’s husband.

While speaking to Jim Varsallone, Flair also said that she wanted to let people see the softer side of her personality after spending most of her career wanting people to mock her for the job.
