WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Charlotte Flair recently gave fans an exclusive glimpse into her daily routine as a top WWE superstar. Speaking with Lauren Kelly on Houston Life, Flair detailed the demanding yet methodical schedule leading up to a WWE event, shedding light on the behind-the-scenes commitment that accompanies her in-ring performances and media duties.

A Day on the Road: From Travel Delays to Media Engagements

Charlotte explained that a typical show day often starts off with travel, which can be unpredictable. For instance, on the day of her SmackDown appearance in Newark, she flew in the night before but faced flight delays, not reaching her destination until 2 a.m. “Some days I have media like I do right now where I have a signing,” Charlotte said. When there are no media obligations, she prioritizes fitness by stopping at the hotel gym or a local facility to stay in peak shape[1][3].

According to sources close to WWE, this balance of travel, media, and training is typical for many of the roster’s top stars, although the frequency of house shows has reduced in recent years, allowing performers more downtime between major events[1].

Arriving Early for Preparation: The Hours Before Go Time

Charlotte emphasized the importance of arriving at the arena well before the show’s start time. “We’re East Coast, so I’ll arrive at the arena two hours prior to call time to get ready, which will usually be around 12:30,” she said. The official call time might be 1 p.m. or so, but she factors in extra time to settle in and prepare mentally[2][3].

Once at the venue, Charlotte describes a bustling schedule involving rehearsals and preparations: “You wait for your rehearsal time, and for the girls, you’re in and out of makeup, in and out of wardrobe, finding your opponent, finding out whether you have a backstage segment or you need to shoot something for a prior date, whether that’s advertising another show, a pay-per-view, a Raw, SmackDown, a PLE, like we have SummerSlam this weekend.” This meticulous preparation ensures every segment and match runs smoothly during live broadcasts[2][3].

The Wrestler’s Mindset: Balancing Athleticism and Entertainment

Beyond the physical routine, Charlotte Flair has spoken in other interviews and personal essays about the mental and emotional demands of being a WWE superstar. According to a piece she wrote for The Players’ Tribune, Charlotte strives to “flip on that switch” during high-pressure moments, channeling the confidence and athletic prowess that define her iconic persona. “When I’m Charlotte Flair, nothing can,” she wrote, reflecting on how she embraces her role both inside and outside the ring[4].

Behind the scenes, WWE stars like Charlotte must also navigate demanding promotional work and media appearances, which are crucial for building storylines and engaging the fan base. Sources inside WWE affirm that maintaining physical health while juggling travel and public appearances is a consistent challenge, requiring dedication and organization[1].

Changing Landscape: WWE Schedule Evolves with Reduced House Shows

According to Fightful and insider reports, WWE’s touring schedule has shifted in recent years, with fewer live house shows allowing superstars, including Charlotte, to have more manageable travel and rest periods. This change has impacted how performers plan their routines and manage their health on the road. Charlotte’s routine reflects this newer balance between intense show days and valuable downtime[1].
