5 Parents who managed their children in WWE

#1 Charlotte Flair (managed by Ric Flair)

Charlotte Flair had a short but successful stint while in NXT. She made her way to the main roster soon after WWE WrestleMania 31 in 2015, along with Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch. By the time 2016 came around, Charlotte Flair had become a major name in the WWE Women's division. She held the Divas title at the time and was being managed by her father, Ric Flair.

The Nature Boy helped Charlotte retain her title against Becky Lynch on an episode of SmackDown and at the 2016 Royal Rumble PPV as well. She went on to become the inaugural Women's Champion by defeating Lynch and Sasha Banks at WrestleMania 32.

At Extreme Rules 2016, Flair defeated Natalya to retain her title in a Submission match. The next night on WWE RAW, Charlotte turned on Ric Flair and made it clear to him that she no longer needed his services. Charlotte instead aligned with Dana Brooke, who had helped her retain her belt against Natalya at Extreme Rules.

Abhilash Mendhe is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda with nearly five years of experience. He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
