Charlotte Flair recently clarified that she has no plans to retire from WWE in-ring competition in the near future.
The 12-time WWE Women’s Champion created headlines earlier this week after an out-of-character interview with BT Sport. Discussing the perception that she is difficult to work with, Flair implied that people only view her that way because she is a woman.
Speaking on ESPN’s Get Up show, the SmackDown Women's Champion responded to the criticism she has received since the interview was released.
“That’s what I don’t understand, when there’s so much, I guess, criticism about it," said Flair. "Because I’m confident in my work? Because I’ve grown as a performer? What is the issue? I’m not ready to retire. Like no one says, ‘Oh, I don’t want to win another National Championship’ to a football player. It should be no different. I don’t understand that. It’s mind-blowing to me."

They don’t understand, it’s a smaller division, why wouldn’t I want more? Why wouldn’t I want another title? Why wouldn’t I want that 13th Championship?"
