Wrestling fans know that Ric Flair holds the distinction of being the 16-time World Champion. John Cena is tied at the same number, while Triple H and Randy Orton are in very close proximity.
According to pro wrestling veteran Bill Apter, Charlotte Flair is destined to break her father's record. At just 35 years old, Charlotte is a 13-time WWE Women's Champion (as per her Twitter account) and is poised to overtake the record. Apter said the following during an interview for the Sportskeeda Wrestling Awards:
"Oh, she's destined for that. She's destined for that. Charlotte Flair is the, and I've said this to friends and I've said this on media and now I'm going to say it on Sportskeeda. Charlotte Flair wrestles as well as any male wrestler I have seen. She is one of the guys," said Apter.

The incredible legacy of Ric Flair is being carried on by his gifted daughter
Charlotte Flair has carried her father's legacy into a new generation and may end up surpassing it before she's done. As a member of WWE's famed 'Four Horsewomen', she's led the charge for the women's revolution with incredible matches and character work over the last decade.
The Queen will further that legacy at WrestleMania 38, where she's scheduled to take on Ronda Rousey in a match for the ages.
Unfortunately for Charlotte, she's not in the pole position for heel of the year in this year's Sportskeeda Wrestling Awards. The Tribal Chief Roman Reigns is leading the charge as 2021's most acclaimed villain, with MJF trailing close behind.
