Bow down, folks—Charlotte Flair is back. And in shocking news (read: absolutely expected), she just won the 2025 Women’s Royal Rumble.
Entering at #27, Flair made her first in-ring appearance since tearing basically every ligament in her knee back in December 2023. If anyone thought ring rust might slow her down, she quickly reminded them who she is. The multi-time champion racked up four eliminations, including Piper Niven and Michin, before sealing the deal by tossing out Nia Jax and Roxanne Perez in the final moments.
This marks Flair’s second Women’s Rumble win—the first came in 2020 when she shockingly used her title shot to challenge then-NXT Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley. That led to Flair beating Ripley at WrestleMania 36… before Ripley got her revenge at WrestleMania 39.
With reports swirling that WWE is eyeing a Flair vs. Tiffany Stratton showdown for WrestleMania 41, it seems like The Queen’s next reign is already being manifested. Can Stratton handle the spotlight? Or is this just another chapter in Charlotte’s book of inevitable victories?
Either way, Charlotte Flair is back, and history tells us one thing—when she’s in the title picture, she’s probably leaving with gold
