Charlotte Flair Calls Out ESPN Over SportsCenter Graphic
New WWE SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair took to Twitter on Wednesday to call out ESPN for a graphic they used for her during Tuesday's SportsCenter appearance to promote the WrestleMania 35 main event.
ESPN used graphics for Becky Lynch and RAW Women's Champion Ronda Rousey that listed some of their WWE and UFC accomplishments. For Rousey, it stated that she was the first female inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame, while Lynch's graphic noted that she won the 2019 Women's Royal Rumble. The graphic for Flair just listed her as the daughter of WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair.

"Dear @espn
7x (now 8) WWE Women's Champion would have been fine.
If you need a more detailed list of my accolades, feel free to reference last year's Body Issue or one of the many articles about me on your website.
Sincerely,
Daughter of @WWE HOF'er Ric Flair"

I think that @ESPN owes @MsCharlotteWWE an apology for this.
7x Women's Champion outweighs who your father is...even if he is @RicFlairNatrBoy.#SDLive #RAW #Wrestlemania @WrestlingInc https://t.co/LSwa2RaC9w
