Indians just love WWE. Wrestling was once the most-watched “sport” on Indian television, surpassing even cricket, according to a report by the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry and Ernst & Young. WWE’s biggest market in terms of Facebook engagement and YouTube viewership is India (even bigger than the USA). WWE has the largest fan base outside the USA in India, with 335 million unique viewers annually.
‘The Nature Boy’ Ric Flair’s daughter is Charlotte Flair. Charlotte is a professional wrestler from a second-generation family. The Queen was born to Elizabeth Harrell, former wife of Ric Flair, on April 5, 1986, in Charlotte, North Carolina.
There are times when WWE Divas and Superstars visit India for tour. The superstars of WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) have always shared a bond of affection with fans in India. There have been many wrestling stars who have expressed their love for the culture and the Indian audience, like John Cena, Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock and Ryback. Charlotte Flair, the daughter of legendary wrestler Ric Flair, has joined the list of India’s admirers.
Out of these stars Charlotte Flair is the only diva who visited India twice.
Charlotte Flair visited India for the first time nearly four years ago when she participated in a WWE event here. Despite being a rookie at the time, Charlotte is now a 10-time WWE Women’s Champion. She has achieved so much in her WWE career in such a short period of time. During her last live event visit in India, she competed against former WWE superstar Summer Rae in a Divas Championship match. At that time she stayed in India for a few days and enjoyed the culture and essence of india.
The second time she visited India was last year in November. It was a three day tour. Charlotte Flair was given the warmest welcome by the Special Olympics Bharat Athletes in Mumbai on the first day of her visit to India. She began her three-day visit with a celebration of Children’s Day with the young and exceedingly talented group. Charlotte Flair’s second day in India included some incredible Bollywood moves and a yoga lesson from Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan. On the third day of her India Tour, WWE Superstar Charlotte Flair wore an Indian Saree in the color selected by her fans.
In talking about her experience in India, she said that she has been here twice and she feels treated like royalty from the moment she arrived, which just shows how much they respect them as wrestlers. She even believes that WWE has a great deal of potential in India.
