Flair spent two years on WWE's developmental show NXT from 2013-15 where she was made to find her own on-screen persona, wrestling under the name 'Charlotte' as she sought her own identity away from her famous father Rick.

"I wasn't allowed to 'Wooo!' or do anything that resembled who my dad was as they didn't know what was going to happen and they wanted me to figure out who I was."
