LeBron James and Charlotte Flair [via- NBC News and WWE]
WWE was in Cleveland for this week’s Raw. Making her return to the show was Charlotte Flair. During her promo, in which she talked about how the previous year broke her both mentally and physically, the crowd didn’t seem to care and booed instead. Flair is still fresh off making a complete recovery from her banged-up knee. Taking a stand for Flair, Kofi Kingston took to X.
The former WWE Champion went off on the boorish Cleveland folks who treated Charlotte with nothing but disrespect. No wonder why LeBron James decided against staying with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2010, quipped Kingston. But he wasn’t done talking smack. As the fans witnessed on Raw, Kofi, flanked by Xavier Woods, dissed the locals for Myles Garrett‘s trade request from the Browns.
Kofi took another dig at Clevelanders for their past issues with former Chicago Bulls center Joakim Noah. At last, The Jamaican brought up how the city hasn’t been kind to someone who was born there—The Miz. Taking all those instances into account, Kofi’s disdain for Cleveland will only grow manifold.
Circling back to Charlotte, she didn’t get a favorable response on Raw as mentioned above. After realizing it wasn’t going to change for the night, she resorted to her old trickery. The 38-year-old got interrupted by Rhea Ripley. After going back and forth for a while, the Aussie pleaded with Flair to pick her at WrestleMania.
For the unversed, the two women have faced each other twice at The Show of Shows. They’re squared up at one win apiece. So if Charlotte decides to run it back with Ripley, it might put a decisive end to this rivalry. However, The Queen has yet to call her shot.
Did Charlotte Flair confirm her WrestleMania plans on NXT?
After deciding not to jump the gun about the champion of her choosing on Raw, Charlotte Flair showed up on NXT this Tuesday. She confronted the NXT Women’s Champion, Guilia, Roxanne Perez, and Bayley.
Those three women will duke it out for the gold in a triple threat match at Vengeance Day. Flair first heaped praise on Perez for lasting over an hour in the women’s Royal Rumble match. The Queen was the one who dumped her out to stand tall.
The Nature Girl warned The Prodigy that history would repeat itself if Roxanne has the NXT women’s title by the time it’s WrestleMania. Now that Flair has bumped into Rhea Ripley and Giulia, she’s in for a collision course with Tiffany Stratton. And if the reports are to be believed, The Buff Barbie will end up facing The Queen at Mania.
