This WWE Star is ready to break John Cena’s massive WWE Title record.

WWE legend John Cena retired from in-ring action in December last year at Saturday Night’s Main Event at the hands of Gunther by tapping out to his deadly sleeper hold.

The retirement capped off a career full of major accolades for the wrestler dubbed the Greatest of All Time (GOAT) by WWE. He won his record-setting 17th WWE World Title at WrestleMania 41 last year by defeating Cody Rhodes. Other top wrestlers, like Ric Flair’s daughter Charlotte and Randy Orton, have 14 career WWE World Title wins, with Orton notably missing out on a possible 15th this year at WrestleMania.

Charlotte Flair still has a bit of her career ahead of her, and the 40-year-old star is surely going to be eyeing John Cena’s title record. Speaking to TMZ’s Inside the Ring, Flair spoke about wanting to go after Cena’s Title record.

Charlotte Flair Says John Cena Knows That She’s Coming For Him

Flair said on the podcast that she and her dad speak every day and that her father keeps asking her when she’s going to break his record of WWE Title wins.

Well my dad I speak with daily. He’s like ‘when are you beating my record’. I’m like ‘I don’t know’. Don’t tweet about this father, I’m taking your phone!

Charlotte then talked about how she hasn’t discussed this title record matter directly with John Cena, but she does recall Cena leaving the spot open for someone to do it. She goes on to quip that John Cena knows she’s coming for him.

With Cena, I have not spoken to him directly about this topic but I do know when I came back last year and won the Rumble, he was also on the press conference, he said, he didn’t ‘male’ he said ‘to the person who’, I don’t remember his exact wording, but he left gender open.

I do think that, I will take that as a nod to me, but he just didn’t say male, he said to whoever person, so I’m like ‘ok, he knows I’m coming for him’.

Charlotte also spoke highly of the newly promoted NXT stars. Multiple NXT stars have debuted on the main roster recently, with Kiana James, the entire Fatal Influcence faction, and Lash Legend, all on Friday night SmackDown.

I feel like people know if they watch my social I adore Kiana James. I also had my eyes on Lash Legend before she even debuted.

I think it’s exciting, I think as much as we’re there to mentor, I look at it as always keeping me on my toes too, because there’s always someone younger, faster, I don’t want to say more hungry because it’s not in me to not be at my best, but I think it’s exciting to have fresh faces to create new storylines.

When you have a group like Lainey, Jacy Jayne and Fallon, and they’re ready to go already. They are working as a well oiled machine, they’ve been a group for a while, it just helps storyline push more forward, because they’re ready to go. Those three didn’t seem nervous.
