Charlotte Flair was recently interviewed by the Wrap. During the interview, she spoke about Becky Lynch and Roman Reigns being on the cover of WWE 2K20 together.
Specifically, Charlotte responded to the fans who are complaining about Becky sharing the cover with Roman, rather than being featured by herself.
Here is what Charlotte said:
“So, I look at it this way. If you watched the video game’s commercial, and Roman acknowledging her like ‘You’re the man,’ there’s no bigger acknowledgement in our company than coming from Roman Reigns. I want to be where Roman is right now, on [the marketing materials] for Fox (Sports). I want to be the face of the company.”
“But Becky and Roman– right now, with Becky’s year and us main-eventing WrestleMania, which is the pinnacle of the Women’s Evolution, which is not just gonna stop there — it’s not a slight to Becky. It’s just Roman’s “The Guy,” or the man, and so is Becky. It’s a representation of saying, ‘OK we still put Becky on the cover, the first time ever (for a woman).’ I think it’s more kudos that– Roman is standing behind her. Roman Reigns is standing behind her. [He’s] the face of our company. That’s the big message to me.”
Flair added the following during the Fox Sports panel:
“Having me up here, and not another male is a message from WWE saying, ‘Hey, our women are taking over and we hope that this message spreads to every industry. Because WWE is positioning us as Superstars equally as the men in every aspect in the company.”
“So the fan’s saying ‘boo-hoo’ that Roman’s on the cover. That’s just– either they’re gonna be happy or they’re gonna be mad, they’re gonna have something to be negative about. It’s easier to be negative than to be positive.”
Charlotte also added that the Women’s locker room in WWE is 100% satisfied with the shared cover.
