Natalya is ready to see a different side of Charlotte Flair on WWE programming.
RAW Superstar Natalya recently sat down with Bill Apter of Sportskeeda. When asked what she thinks Charlotte Flair’s strengths and weaknesses are, Nattie said she’s very durable and stubborn, but she’d like to see The Queen eventually portray a vulnerable character.
“I think the thing about Charlotte is I think she’s very durable,” Natalya said. “And I think that she’s durable and she is stubborn in a good way where she wants to whether it’s a live event or whether it’s a pay-per-view or whether it’s a television taping, she always wants to have the best match of the night. And I think that’s a great quality because we should always be striving to tell the best stories and to have the best matches.
“I would love to one day see Charlotte in the role of being super, super vulnerable. And so when you talk about weaknesses, I don’t look at Charlotte and go wow, she’s got a lot of weaknesses. But for me, from a fan standpoint, I think the one thing that we haven’t seen from Charlotte is just being very, very vulnerable. And I think there’s something character-driven about being vulnerable, and I know it’s not easy for everyone to go to that place.
“Because when I think of Charlotte, I think strong; I think she’s empowered. I think that she’s the most decorated Women’s Champion of all time. But what would it be like, from the audience’s point of view, to see her really, really vulnerable? I haven’t seen her knocked down on her ass, where I’m like, oh my god, is she gonna get up?
“It’s a different side; It’s a different take. It’s a different perspective. I would, as part of the audience, I would love to see her in a moment where we don’t know what’s next, that sort of thing. You know what I mean? A little bit more like we tear down that fourth wall because I think she’s so wildly talented, but it’s just that one area.”
Examples Of Vulnerability
Natalya offered examples such as Rey Mysterio and Roman Reigns as stars who have displayed vulnerability on WWE programming.
“When I look at like, Rey Mysterio. I don’t really think about the titles that Rey has won. I think about these moments that Rey’s had that they’re very vulnerable moments,” Natalaya continued. “Whether his son Dominik is disrespecting him, whether he’s overcoming adversity. Whether he was told you can’t do this, or he was put down.
“They’re the moments that make me feel the most for someone, even when Jimmy Uso kicked Roman in the head. I saw that vulnerability in Roman where I was like, oh my god. Roman looked weak. So that vulnerability is a very hard place for people to go to, and even for myself talking about we talked earlier about what happened with me at Night of Champions.
“It took me ten days to tweet about how I don’t even know if I know how to be me anymore. It’s a vulnerable place. And it’s also a place of like, hey, I’m not afraid to say that I’m not okay. And we sometimes, as humans, we need to be okay to say that. So yeah, I would love love love to see that different little side of Charlotte. But I think she’s amazing, and I can’t wait to wrestle her again.”
