Charlie acknowledges that her ring name needs a last name and says she’s working on it. The former Dakota Kai has been going by just Charlie since she exited WWE in May of 2025. She made her return to the ring in March, and she spoke about her ring name in an appearance on Sirius XM’s Ring the Belle.
“I keep hearing people say I need to add a last name because Charlie by itself — and I agree,” she said (per Fightful). “I agree, but I can’t just be like, ‘Okay, I’m Charlie Brooks, you know what I mean? It has to be something.”
She continued, “So yeah, I hear you and I understand that by itself, it sounds very, like, meh. It is my actual nickname. It’s under construction. We’ll get back to it.”
The WWE alumna most recently competed at HOG Culture Clash 2026 over WrestleMania 42 weekend where she challenged Shotzi Blackheart for the HOG Women’s Championship.
