Charlotte Flair is arguably the biggest name of the women's division not only in this generation but also in the history of WWE. The daughter of sixteen-time WWE Champion Ric Flair has cemented her own legacy in a short span, winning a total of twelve titles thus far.
Charlotte has been part of WWE for over eight years, and she has been on the main roster for over five years. Being the face of the women's division, The Queen is also friends with many of her co-workers behind the scene, while she also doesn't cope with some of her peers. Let's take look at such names.
Updated on November 4th, 2021 by Akshay Thimmaya: While Charlotte Flair was booked pretty strongly during her time in NXT, there is no denying that she turned into one of the most overpowered wrestlers in the entire company once she was called up to the main roster. Flair has spent most of her run vying for (and winning) championships, and has rubbed a number of people the wrong way. More recently, her issues with Becky Lynch in the championship exchange segment on SmackDown have highlighted a major issue - Flair has very few friends left in WWE. Whether by choice or circumstance, Flair has managed to alienate a number of wrestlers that she was once close to. However, all hope is not lost. Flair still has a number of wrestlers in the industry that she loves and can count upon in a pinch. It will be interesting to see if Flair will turn a corner and mend a number of these broken relationships, or if this is just the beginning of more friction.
13 Doesn't Love: Sonya Deville
A lot has been said about the championship exchange that took place between Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair on SmackDown in the wake of the latest WWE Draft (more on that later). Several reports have suggested that tempers were flared backstage once the segment came to an end. Battle lines were drawn and Sonya Deville was angry enough to take on Flair in a real fight.
It is safe to say that there is no love lost between these two women. If cooler heads had not prevailed backstage, this fight could have very well happened.
12 Loves: Mojo Rawley
Mojo Rawley may not be a regular performer on TV, but he is known as a fun-loving guy in real-life. He pulled off pranks in the backstage area, and he shares good friendships with numerous wrestlers, including The Queen herself.
Mojo and Charlotte have posted their pictures together from various shows and public events. The former 24/7 Champion can be seen ribbing The Queen on her Instagram. Needless to say, Charlotte certainly loves Mojo.
11 Doesn't Love: Liv Morgan
The fans already saw the heated exchange of words between Liv Morgan and Charlotte Flair last year when they had a mini-feud. The former Riott Squad member took a shot at Charlotte's physical appearance as well as her royal treatment in WWE. The crowd also concurred to the statement, as she was cheered. Meanwhile, Charlotte gave a befitting reply.
While it is a scripted promo, they aren't fond of each other behind the scenes either. Working together in a couple of matches, Charlotte and Liv are just peers, not more than that.
10 Loves: AJ Styles
AJ Styles is one of the male Superstars who is very close to Charlotte Flair as a friend. Styles is also great friends with Ric Flair, having worked together in TNA. The Queen is a big admirer of Styles for his in-ring talent.
Styles and Charlotte worked together in the Mixed Match Challenge tournament in the past. They would also poke fun at each other by posting pictures on social media.
9 Doesn't Love: Maria Kanellis
When Charlotte and Carmella were having a feud for the SmackDown Women's Champion, the former made a comment that garnered attention. The Queen took a shot at Carmella's in-ring skills and called her 'Diva' in the era of women.
Maria Kanellis took the comment personally, and she fought back by answering the derogatory remark on her Instagram because she was also known as a diva in her heyday. Judging by Maria's reaction, it was clear that she wasn't friends with Charlotte.
8 Loves: Trish Stratus
Trish Stratus was the woman with the most number of championship belts until the rise of Charlotte Flair. Even though Trish was famous for her look, she was equally good in the ring.
Charlotte and Trish share mutual respect, making them great friends in real life. Given Charlotte's achievements and talent in the ring, Trish wanted to have her last match against The Queen, which took place at SummerSlam last year.
7 Doesn't Love: Sasha Banks
Although Sasha Banks and Charlotte Flair have produced one of the iconic women's feuds in history, they still don't see eye to eye. Hence, they don't share any personal bonding outside wrestling, nor they are snapped together outside WWE, even though they have been co-workers for years.
Charlotte mentioned her rift with Sasha Banks in her and Ric Flair's book, Second Nature. The Boss believed to be envious of Charlotte after the latter won the NXT Women's Championship for the first time in the black and yellow brand.
6 Loves: Paige
Being a senior in this business, Paige has guided many upcoming talents on the main roster, including Charlotte Flair. They have been known to each other for a long time, and Paige is also one of the best friends Charlotte.
Charlotte had arrived on the main roster under the supervision of Paige, who led PCB, consisting of Paige herself as well as Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair. Subsequently, they also had an impressive rivalry.
5 Doesn't Love: Ronda Rousey
Ronda Rousey had triggered many wrestlers with her controversial comment about the professional wrestling business, and Charlotte Flair wasn't an exception. However, it was still ambiguous whether the comments were made to fuel the return of Ronda in the ring.
Ronda, meanwhile, wrestled Charlotte twice during her one-year stint in WWE. The two Superstars also headlined the Grandest Stage of Them All.
4 Loves: Renee Paquette
Admittedly, using the word 'love' may be a bit of a stretch, but in the wake of what Charlotte has gone through recently, it is very possible that Renee Paquette is one of the few friends Flair has left in the industry. Though she is not a wrestler, Paquette has maintained a steady presence in the business for years.
Just recently, Flair appeared on Paquette's podcast and shared her perspective on a variety of topics ranging from how she is perceived in the business, to her relationship with Becky Lynch. Amid all this drama, Paquette may be Flair's only avenue to truly clear the air.
3 Doesn't Love: Becky Lynch
A couple of years ago, it would have been pretty much impossible to even consider the fact that Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair would be anything other than close friends. But as The Man's career has skyrocketed, The Queen herself has admitted that her and Lynch are not nearly as close as they once used to be.
The disastrous championship exchange on SmackDown has painted Flair as the villain in the eyes of those backstage, while Lynch is the hero who can do no wrong. Whether it is a clash of egos or just a case of drifting apart, Lynch and Flair can definitely not be called friends anymore.
2 Loves: Andrade El Idolo
For obvious reasons, it is safe to assume that Charlotte Flair loves her fiance, current AEW star, Andrade El Idolo. The couple began dating back in February 2019, before tying the knot on New Year's Day, 2020. Andrade being released by WWE obviously placed stress on the talented couple, but they seem to have made the transition quite well together.
Amid Charlotte's myriad issues in WWE, time will tell if they will reunite, only this time in Tony Khan's company.
1 Doesn't Love: Bram
While Bram or Thomas Latimer was never part of WWE's main roster, he was in NXT for a brief period. However, he earned a reputation for himself in wrestling as Bram in TNA. Bram was married to Charlotte Flair, tieing knots back in 2013.
When Bram was still married to Charlotte, he was arrested with his alleged girlfriend. Their marriage had a catastrophic ending, and they certainly didn't like each other afterward.
