Charlotte Flair delivered a strong performance on last night’s SmackDown in a solid match against Michin. She’s on her way to another blockbuster showdown at WrestleMania 41 against Tiffany Stratton. However, with so much talent on the current roster, The Queen still has plenty of dream matches left. At The O2, she even teased a major first-time-ever clash with The Storm—Jade Cargill.
Before Flair’s match, Cargill stormed to the ring looking for Naomi, but the latter slipped away after taking out B-Fab. As The Storm was heading to the back, The Queen stepped into the aisle, creating a brief yet intense face-off with the former AEW star. Though subtle, the moment was powerful enough to tease a potential showdown in the future.
Interestingly, when Cargill debuted in WWE in 2023, she and Flair had a similar face-off, instantly sparking dream match buzz among fans. However, both The Storm and The Queen have put that showdown on hold as they dive deeper into their personal feuds on the road to WrestleMania. Cargill aims to take down Naomi, while Flair pushes forward to reclaim the Women’s Championship.

Flair was on a mission to make a statement last night, picking up a strong win over Michin to keep her momentum rolling toward The Showcase of the Immortals. Over the past few weeks, she has had the upper hand against her WrestleMania opponent, Tiffany Stratton. The big question now is whether The Queen can keep up the momentum all the way to The Show of Shows.
Charlotte Flair vows to break her father’s 16-time World Championship record
Charlotte Flair is one of the most decorated WWE stars of all time. She has main-evented WrestleMania, won the Royal Rumble, and battled countless legends. With 14 Women’s Championship reigns, she holds the record for the most in women’s wrestling history. However, her ultimate goal is to surpass her father’s legendary 16 world titles record.

Speaking with The Independent, Flair confidently stated that she believes she will surpass her father’s record one day. Whether it happens this year or next, she sees it as inevitable. However, The Queen added that if John Cena breaks her father’s record at WrestleMania 41, she wouldn’t hesitate to surpass The Cenation Leader as well.
I plan on breaking my dad’s record, that’s something I want to do and will do. But if John is the first to break it, then I will break John’s record.

The former Women’s Champion is widely regarded as one of the strongest female wrestlers in WWE history. Many believed she was destined to break Flair’s record. However, with Cena’s heel turn and his career nearing its final chapter, she now seems poised to surpass The Nature Boy’s legendary milestone.
Charlotte Flair to become 15-time Women’s Champion at WrestleMania 41?
Charlotte Flair is charging toward WrestleMania 41 with confidence. She’s set to face rising star Tiffany Stratton, who will be making her WrestleMania debut. Meanwhile, Flair, a seasoned veteran with an impressive track record on The Grandest Stage of Them All, is widely expected to reclaim the Women’s Championship in Las Vegas.

There’s a strong chance Flair will defeat Stratton at The Show of Shows. WWE has been consistently booking The Buff Barbie as the underdog against the former Women’s Champion. This could be a strategic storytelling approach, portraying the 25-year-old as a rookie who stumbles against a seasoned legend. However, it could also set the stage for an incredible redemption arc for Stratton over the summer.
The 38-year-old star could become a new champion in Las Vegas to further elevate her WWE career. Meanwhile, The Center of the Universe could rebuild herself to reclaim her WWE Women’s Championship, potentially at SummerSlam. It could be an intriguing feud to shift the trajectory of the 25-year-old’s career.
