Charlotte Flair has a powerful message
The 38-year-old daughter of Nature Boy Ric Flair also gave a major update on social media, suggesting that she was ready to return to WWE.
In a video posted on social media on Thursday, The Queen had a message for her haters.
"It's ME vs ME. Always has been, always will be," she wrote.
The video showed Charlotte, sporting a knee brace, running up and down a road.
"Charlotte, she's selfish. She's just Ric Flair's daughter. She's going to come back washed. She's not even that good. Oh, she's been handed everything. You're going to prove them wrong. Ashley, get out of your f**king head," she said in the video.
