Charlotte Flair Rebrands Herself Ahead of SummerSlam Showdown—“Auntie Char” Era Begins

Charlotte Flair Embraces ‘Auntie Char’ Persona as Fan Support Surges Before SummerSlam

Charlotte Flair is flipping the script heading into WWE SummerSlam 2025—and she’s doing it with a brand-new nickname: “Auntie Char.”

Just months ago, Flair topped online surveys as the most disliked WWE Superstar due to a wave of social media abuse and fatigue from fans. But now? The tide has turned dramatically. Every time her entrance hits, the crowd pops—a stunning reversal fueled by her unexpected alliance with the beloved Alexa Bliss.

Originally set to feud, Flair and Bliss have instead become fan favorites thanks to their organic chemistry and mutual respect. WWE quickly pivoted, scrapping a rivalry storyline and aligning them as a tag team—a move that’s proven to be a creative win.

The “Auntie Char” moment came during a recent Twitter exchange. After a fan cruelly told Bliss to “stay home with her child” following a SmackDown match against Roxanne Perez, Bliss calmly responded that her daughter travels with her. Flair chimed in with unexpected warmth:

“Damn right she does… Auntie Char 🫶🏻”

The post instantly went viral and sparked a wave of positive fan reaction, effectively rebranding Flair with a more personal and relatable edge.

Flair and Bliss will team up at SummerSlam Night 1 (August 2) to challenge Raquel Rodriguez & Roxanne Perez for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships. Their match headlines a stacked first night also featuring Jade Cargill vs. Tiffany Stratton for the WWE Women’s Title.

Night 2 (August 3) will spotlight Becky Lynch vs. Lyra Valkyria for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship and Naomi defending the Women’s World Championship in a triple threat against Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky.
