They say when you turn your passion into your profession, you don?t have to work a day. Well, that has been my story. Grew up as a pro wrestling fan during WWE?s famed Attitude Era.

EssentiallySports was the beginning of this journey as a writer and I had a shining moment of personal and professional glory when The Bloodline?s Wise Man, Paul Heyman shared my article on his Instagram story. Since then I have taken up the role of an editor at ES for WWE division and continue to provide coverage of WWE?s biggest events as well as marquee PPVs from AEW. I?ve had the chance to cover events such as WrestleMania 39, SummerSlam, AEW?s All In and much more.

My passion for professional wrestling began when I saw Kane ripping the Hell in
a Cell door off in the iconic 1997 match. I used to enjoy watching WWE re-runs
at 5 in the evening when I got home from school. It was sort of a ritual for me.
I loved watching Jeff Hardy jump off any tall structure and that was an
adrenaline rush despite having crippling altophobia. For me pro wrestling has
been an escape and still is. Now, I write about wrestling to share the
excitement I felt as a kid with others. I have also been a part of the FanCast
at ES, which was a great opportunity. Going from a freelance content writer to
someone who gets to cover live events and interviews at ES was a major upgrade
in my professional life. Apart from WWE, I love watching movies and picking out
the flaws in storytelling or the plot. You can drop a message to me at LinkedIn:

The professional wrestler whose name <span style="font-weight: 400">represents her hometown of Charlotte, North Carolina,</span> was destined to succeed in WWE. That was not just because she was the daughter of the greatest professional wrestler of all time, but also because she had the looks and in-ring skills to succeed in the company. Further, Charlotte, <span style="font-weight: 400"><a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/sasha-banks">Sasha Banks</a>, Bayley, and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/becky-lynch">Becky Lynch</a> are considered </span><span style="font-weight: 400">four horsewomen in the WWE. </span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Charlotte Flair’s Early Life</b></h2>
Charlotte Flair was born on April 5, 1986, in North Carolina to Ric Flair and his then-wife Elizabeth Harrell. Considered one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time, Ric enjoyed a career spanning over 50 years. Making his professional wrestling debut on December 10, 1972, the now 74-year-old showcased his mettle in all wrestling companies, including NWA, WWE, WCW, and WCWI.

Meanwhile, she has two half-siblings named David Flair and Megan Flair. Speaking of her education qualifications, Charlotte completed her schooling at Providence High School while he also went to Appalachian State University and North Carolina State University.

Just before signing with WWE, she worked as a personal trainer, helping people stay fit and healthy.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Charlotte Flair’s Husband and Children</b></h2>
Charlotte Flair's first wedding took place in May 2010 as she tied the knot with Riki Johnson. However, the couple could not stay together for long and ended up parting ways in February 2013. Her second wedding with English wrestler Thomas Latimer, famously known as Bram, also made a lot of headlines but the couple went separate ways in October 2015. Charlotte finally found her true connection with the professional wrestler Manuel Andrade Oropeza and the couple got hitched on May 27, 2022, in Mexico. Oropeza is currently associated with All Elite Wrestling and is famous with the name of Andrade El Idolo.

The wrestler has also featured in a lot of magazines over the years.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Charlotte Flair’s Career Timeline</b></h2>
This might come as a surprise, but Charlotte's stint with professional wrestling began way back in 2000 at World Championship Wrestling (WCW). Back then, the 14-year-old was introduced as Ashley Flair and got embroiled in a feud that was going on between Ric Flair and Vince Russo, also involving her half-brother David Flair in the mix. She would only begin training as a professional wrestler in 2012.

She debuted in NXT in the year 2013 and turned heel very soon. Being the daughter of the dirtiest player in the game, it came naturally to her. She ruled NXT and became the NXT Women's Champion in 2014. Her main roster debut happened amidst the women's revolution. She debuted as a babyface on Raw along with Becky Lynch when the two were paired up with Paige as part of a stable known as PCB.

In addition, she was also the last Divas Champion before the belt was retired. As impressive as this might sound, this is just the tip of the iceberg.
