Charlotte Flair Reveals Her Mount Rushmore of Female Wrestlers

Multi-time WWE Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair recently appeared on Episode Four of the Complex Graps Wrestling Podcast. Over the course of the conversation, The Queen was asked to list her Mount Rushmore of wrestlers.

Charlotte paused for a bit before saying that she can’t look past the Four Horsewomen (herself, Becky Lynch, Mercedes Mone [FKA Sasha Banks], and Bayley), purely because she feels she would have had the same passion for wrestling if Bayley, Banks, and Lynch weren’t around her in NXT. The 14-time World Champion admitted that her fellow Horsewomen are the reason she fell in love with pro wrestling.

Here’s what Charlotte Flair said:

“I always say the Four Horsewomen just because they’re who and why I fell in love with wrestling. Not that I didn’t respect or love or look up to the women before me; had I not, we all have kind of gone our separate paths, but had I not been with that core when I started, I don’t know where I’d be today. They’re the reason why I fell in love with wrestling, got good at wrestling, and, like, we all took it to the next level together. So, that’s my four.”

The Four Horsewomen are widely and deservedly credited for kicking off the women’s revolution in WWE in the mid-2010s. While Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, and Bayley continue to be a part of the WWE main roster, Mercedes Mone departed the company earlier this decade and is now a prominent fixture on AEW television.
