Charlotte Flair On Dealing With Abuse On Social Media, Who She Wants To Face From NXT, Joining SmackDown

Metro.co.uk recently caught up with Charlotte Flair to talk about her career, negative people on social media, NXT girls she wants to face, WWE’s upcoming Women’s Tournament and more.

How she feels about moving to SmackDown LIVE:

“The first Raw that I missed felt weird because I had been featured on Raw every single Monday since the day I debuted. So it was a weird feeling but good because I’m really excited by the new opportunity I have on SmackDown.

“I’m reunited with my real life best friend Becky Lynch and my mentor Nattie, so I’m really looking forward to seeing what I can do on this brand.”

WWE’s 32-competitor Women’s Tournament coming to the WWE Network this summer:

“NXT just recruited a bunch of women who I’ve been familiar with prior to them getting signed. so right now I’m looking forward to the company highlighting them in such a big way in the tournament.

“I’m excited for the girls who have worked the independents to have their moment in the tournament, and it’s going to be awesome.”

Who she wants to face from NXT:

“There’s three girls that I really hope come up soon. Obviously the champion Asuka, but personally I know Billie Kay and Peyton Royce really well and I think they’re ready and would make a great addition.

“100%, the way the carry themselves, they have a character and they have prior experience. And because they look alike, it’s an easy to story to bring them in as a tag team.”

Her advice to fans on dealing with abuse on social media:

“Those people want a reaction and it’s not necessarily that they feel that way, it’s just a desperate attempt to get a reaction out of you. That took me a long time to process that because I can’t imagine saying something hurtful to somebody.

“You never want to come back with hate. There is already hate there, so don’t react with more of it. It’s better just to take the high road because nothing positive will come out of it.

“If someone says something vulgar to you and you retweet it, now you’re giving them a voice and you never want to give hate a voice.”
