Charlotte Flair not only returned in the Women’s Royal Rumble match, but she also outlasted all of her opponents to win it. As such, she has punched her ticket to WrestleMania, where she will battle for a women’s title of her choosing. Following Flair’s win, Cathy Kelley spoke with both current champs, Rhea Ripley and Tiffany Stratton. Kelley asked the two stars who they thought Flair would pick for her WrestleMania opponent.

In response, Ripley looked toward Stratton, who was sitting next to her. The Eradicator wished the WWE Women’s Champion good luck before leaving the shot. Meanwhile, Stratton’s smile slowly faded away as the clip ended. Barring any surprises, Flair will be squaring off against Stratton for the Women’s Title at WrestleMania. For weeks, reports had long suggested that Flair vs. Stratton was the plan for the Showcase of Immortals.

If Flair does somehow choose Ripley, this would mark their third ever encounter at WrestleMania. After winning her first Royal Rumble in 2020, The Queen decided to face the then-NXT Women’s Champion, which was Ripley. This ended with Flair defeating the former Judgment Day member at WrestleMania 36.

Three years later, the roles were reversed. This time, it was Ripley who had won the Royal Rumble and challenged Flair for the SmackDown Women’s Championship. The Australian star exacted her revenge as she dethroned Flair at WrestleMania 39, solidifying her position at the top of the women’s division.

Following her win on Saturday, Charlotte Flair will be appearing on tonight’s episode of Raw. While she might not yet officially challenge Tiffany Stratton, fans can expect her to address her future. Nevertheless, it will be interesting to see what Flair has to say after making history at the Royal Rumble.

Fans felt that Flair dethroning Stratton was inevitable, similar to how The Queen defeated Ripley back in 2020. Some users poked fun at Stratton’s reaction to Ripley wishing her luck.

Meanwhile, a few fans suggested that WWE could pivot to doing Ripley vs. Flair III at WrestleMania instead. They further added that the story between Nia Jax and Stratton was far from over, which could culminate at the grand spectacle.
