In a matter of months, Charlotte Flair, a once ice cold character, has managed to warm up the WWE Universe by showing a distinct, more endearing side of herself on WWE programming. Based on Flair, much of this recent side may be credited to her ally of convenience Alexa Bliss, with whom she now holds Women’s Tag Team Championships.
On “Busted Open Radio,” WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray revealed himself as a giant fan of the Bliss-Flair partnership, in addition to the softer side of Flair that has blossomed from it. To maintain the latter intact, though, Ray stresses the importance of distancing Flair from singles championship gold for an extended while.
“I feel that is the most effective thing possibly ever to occur to Charlotte in her profession,” Ray said. “We at the moment are Charlotte in a totally different light. She’s vulnerable. She’s becoming likable through her vulnerability. She’s paired up, she’s sharing the highlight with a personality and a girl that the universe loves. It is time to keep Charlotte Flair away from the championship for some time. And when will the time be right for Charlotte to be back within the Championship picture? When the fans start clamoring for Charlotte. Once you find a girl that’s so unstoppable that no person can overcome that you simply got to choose up the bat phone and call Charlotte Flair.”
To further her likeability and relatability, Ray recently suggested that Flair make some changes to her physical presentation, resembling ditching her extravagant attire for ones which might be more relaxed. “Even dressing down in a certain way, I feel will help Charlotte,” he added. “I’m a giant fan of Charlotte Flair personally and professionally, and I’m having fun with this run from her.”
