5 incidents that changed Charlotte Flair's life

#1. Paige's main roster debut changed Charlotte Flair's life

Following her participation in Triple H's entrance at WrestleMania 30, Charlotte Flair worked hard on her character development. According to her, she became obsessed with perfecting every aspect of her character.

Meanwhile, the then-NXT Women's Champion Paige debuted on RAW the night after WrestleMania 30. On her first night on the Red Brand, she defeated AJ Lee to capture the Divas Championship. As a result, the NXT Women's Title was vacated:

"I didn’t realize it then, but the timing was perfect because I earned an opportunity that changed the trajectory of my career and my life," Flair wrote in her book Second Nature: The Legacy of Ric Flair and the Rise of Charlotte.

WWE held a tournament to crown a new NXT Women's Champion. Flair defeated Emma in the first round and eliminated Alexa Bliss in the semi-finals. She then squared off against Natalya in the finals. In the presence of Ric Flair and Natalya's uncle Bret Hart, The Opportunity defeated The Queen of Harts to capture her first-ever title in WWE:

"Being announced as the new NXT Women’s Champion was surreal (...) I celebrated with my dad. It was like we were the only two people in the arena (...) For that night, I was walking on sunshine in legendary footsteps, ready to blaze my own trail."

The NXT Women's Championship was the first of many titles Charlotte Flair went on to win in WWE. She is now a multi-time Women's Champion and a former Women's Tag Team Champion. The Queen currently holds the SmackDown Women's Title.
