Smackdown: WWE Doesn’t Want Charlotte Flair To Copy Ric Flair’s Moves

Charlotte Flair continues to capture the top-most female superstar’s status in the WWE over the time span of the past several years. Despite all the criticisms, WWE keeps on booking her in a way so that she always remains in the title picture. Ignoring the newbies in the company, she gets multiple title shots or title defenses, one after another.

To be precise, WWE is set to push Charlotte Flair to the moon and that tradition isn’t coming to an end, anytime soon. The second-generation athlete is one of the best female in-ring performers in the company who will continue to make history over time. She is the daughter of the legendary Ric Flair who is also approaching fast to break the record of sixteen world title reigns held by Ric.

It should be noted that The Nature Boy currently has a complicated relationship with WWE. Earlier this year, she requested her release from the company which was instantly granted. Since then the 16-time World Champion has been removed from WWE’s opening signature. It happened after sexual assault allegations against Flair resurfaced during an episode of Dark Side of the Ring.

Charlotte Flair has instruction straight from Vince McMahon

Charlotte Flair also had a tricky 2021 as she missed Wrestlemania 37 and it seems on multiple occasions that she might leave the company at times. Then during a conversation with his Wooooo Nation Uncensored podcast, Ric Flair was asked why nobody has copied his trademark turnbuckle flip.

Ric then revealed that Vince McMahon doesn’t want Charlotte Flair to copy his moves so that the product doesn’t ever remind anyone of him,

“Well, some of the wrestlers can do my moves. I don’t think Vince liked it when Ashley (Charlotte) does it, because it reminds him of me. I have no idea who has stolen my moves. It’s funny, you can learn every day, every match you are in, if it’s somebody you’re watching – which I think is very important if you’re young in the business or even if you’re in the same card as someone that’s good. But I don’t see a lot of guys copying my stuff.”

Charlotte Flair is currently engaged in a feud with Toni Storm for her Smackdown Women’s Championship over on Smackdown. While she used to perform her father’s pendant Flair chops or the figure-four maneuvers in the past, she recently started using those less than usual and we assume that Vince McMahon has a say in this.
