Charlotte Flair is a nine-time Women’s Champion and a two-time NXT Champion. Flair won the Women’s Tag Team Titles too, making her a Grand Slam Champion.

“She’s incredible. She blew right by me. I didn’t pass the torch, she took it.”

Hart asked Flair how it felt to see his daughter follow in his footsteps. He said, “Far, far bigger than anything I’ve ever accomplished than to see her not just be good, but great.”

Hart agreed with Flair wholly, saying, “She’s the best.”

Hart then congratulated Flair on having the immense pleasure to see his daughter follow in his footsteps. It was a heartwarming segment during the show, a testament to how proud Flair is of his daughter.

Why wouldn’t he be proud of her? Along with all those titles, Flair was the last woman to hold the Divas Championship. She was the inaugural winner of the new Women’s Championship and is a Royal Rumble winner.

Ric was a constant sight in Charlotte’s corner during the beginning of her career. Flair even became Charlotte’s manager during her NXT Championship match against Natalya. That match is one of the finest NXT matches of all time, and some might even say was the day Charlotte set out to prove herself as the greatest of all time.

Charlotte has also had the honour of main eventing WrestleMania. Although the match was originally supposed to be Becky Lynch vs Ronda Rousey, Vince McMahon added Flair to the match because of sheer merit. No wrestler in the women’s division in as good as Flair, and her addition to the match made it an instant classic.
