Yahoo! Sports recently caught up with former WWE Women’s Champion, Charlotte Flair to talk to her about her upcoming ESPN Body Issue, Ronda Rousey, her involvement with the Special Olympics & more. Check out the full article HERE with highlights below.

On her involvement with the Special Olympics…

“This is actually my second opportunity to go to the Special Olympics games. WWE has a special relationship with them and I’m honored to be one of the WWE superstars to be part of the games this year. I know as a talent and someone who performed, it means a lot to have people who support us and cheer us on and for me to take time out of my schedule to go give back, and I have so much respect for the athletes who compete at a very high level at the Special Olympics games, and support them and let them know that they have encouragement and they also have fans from the WWE.”

On her upcoming Body Issue for ESPN….

“I think just the message that being who you are in any shape, any size, no makeup, completely raw, is just so important and that’s what I just kept thinking about,” Charlotte said. “It was almost like a weight lifted off my shoulders. This is who I am. I’m so proud of my body. I’m so proud to be an athlete. I wouldn’t change anything. I’ve always been a huge fan of the issue and growing up as an athlete, it was very encouraging to see that strong was being shown as sexy. So, the athletes very much inspired me and I guess almost helped me full comfortable in my own skin. I’m an athlete, I am sexy. It was obviously a bucket list but a WWE superstar had never been in the issue, so when I found out that they were going to have me in the 10th anniversary issue, I was like is this real? I kept annoying our talent relations department like, ‘I really am picked, they aren’t going to change it? For sure?’ Up until the shoot, I kept checking in. I was just so excited and the fact that the women have worked so hard for WWE for so many years to be more than just eye candy, more than just the women are divas. Just to show the world that we are athletes and have so much to offer.
