Interview: Charlotte on Being Comfortable as a Heel, Dream Match, Bianca Belair

The New York Post held a recent interview with Charlotte and some of the topics discussed included being more comfortable playing a heel role, her dream match in the WWE, and her thoughts on Bianca Belair.

On the topic of being more comfortable as a heel character, Charlotte stated she finds it to be easier and more natural for herself to play a heel role than a face role.

“Because I think the go-to for me [as a heel] is easy that I always just go, ‘People just assume it’s because of my dad and that’s very easy to play off of. And to me that’s the easy way out, but since I’ve come to SmackDown and being in this new role, it’s having to show so many different layers and working from underneath as the bigger guy has been a great opportunity for me to work on things.”

On the topic of her dream match opponent, Charlotte stated Lita would be her choice for a potential dream match in the WWE.

“I think having her as a mentor and then having the opportunity to face her would have to be a dream match … I just remember one time [her telling me] standing on the apron that regardless if it was a tag match and I was in the ring or not to hold my head up high and my chest up and show confidence in that I wanted to be tagged in.”

On the topic of Bianca Belair, Charlotte praised Belair’s athleticism and charisma as a professional wrestler.

“Obviously she’s super athletic. But to me, inside and outside of the ring, she carries herself like a star and she just oozes confidence.”

Other topics discussed during the interview included her current feud with Becky Lynch, WWE’s upcoming all-women Evolution event, and her thoughts on WWE 2K19.
