Charlotte Flair has given her thoughts on appearing in WWE Unreal.
WWE Unreal has given fans more access to what goes on behind the scenes than ever before. Because of that, the show has been polarising for fans and wrestlers alike, as some believe it lifts the curtain too far while others argue that it’s a natural evolution of the business.
As well as Unreal, WWE has recently been using real life in its storylines, with Pat McAfee and CM Punk talking about WrestleMania ticket sales and prices, among other issues fans have been bringing up in the past few months.
While appearing on Unsportsmanlike, Charlotte Flair was asked her opinion on reality being used more by WWE. The Queen has no issues with the idea, saying everyone already knows wrestling is scripted.
“Every business needs to evolve and we’re here to sell conflict. The older generation, everyone lived in gimmick. Either you play the good guy or the bad guy. You weren’t traveling with the person you were in a feud with. Now, you can see me and whoever I’m wrestling at the gym the next day. We know it’s scripted.”
“For Me, It Did Wonders” – Charlotte Flair On WWE Unreal
Charlotte Flair added that Unreal has actually helped her career as fans have been able to see the human being behind the villainous character she portrays on TV.
“For me, Unreal did so much in terms of the fans being able to connect with the person and not just the character. I played my character so well that they believed that I was that bad guy for the last nine years. For me, it did wonders. Everything has to evolve. If you’re really good at your job, it shouldn’t be an issue.”
Although it has been divisive, WWE Unreal has been a success for the promotion, and it was recently nominated for multiple Sports Emmy Awards. The Awards Ceremony is set to take place on May 26th in New York City.
