Charlotte Talks NXT, What Their Women’s Division Means To Her, Her ‘Figure 8’ Move, What Does She Expect For Her Main Roster Debut?

nxtNXT star Charlotte recently talked to Ring Rust Radio in promoting this week’s NXT Road Trip events in Philadelphia.

Charlotte talks about the state of the NXT Women’s division, moving up in the ranks, the story behind her ‘Figure 8’ finisher, and more. You can read a few excerpts, and listen to the interview in the player below: 

Charlotte talks NXT:

I am honored, I could not be more proud of where NXT is today.  Obviously I am solely a product of NXT, I didn’t have any prior work, and I started at OVW before the performance center was a thing.  Before we were even on the network we were with UK, Skysports, I am honored and it’s a big deal.  NXT is going places and I couldn’t be more proud to be representing them and the female division right now.  Especially with all the buzz around it it’s amazing.

Charlotte on where she got the Figure 8 from:

Well when I first started, I was just learning how to lock up and hit the ropes.  I really stayed away from what my Dad did, like the figure four, the chops, the woo.  When I had my match with Natty though, that’s when I started to incorporate some of my Dad’s signature move set.  Shout out to Simon Gotch of the Vaudevillians, helped me come up with the figure eight.  He said, “hey its twice as good as your Dad’s”.  We were just playing around with it, and it came from a combination of everyone at school helping me.  Its kinds like the figure four headlock I do.  Sara Del Ray was the one that helped me do the snap mare where I flip over the person.  I just want to take his move set and add my own twist to it.  Its gradually coming along thanks to my coaches and co-workers.
What does Charlotte hope for from her WWE main roster debut? 
When I do debut, I just want to run with it.  I don’t want anything to hold me back and I just want to shine and not be timid or scared.  NXT is getting bigger and bigger but it still doesn’t have the fan base of the WWE Universe has.  I want to take my NXT fan base with me to the main roster and show what I can do on a larger scale.  That is what I am most excited about.
