Former SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair returned to WWE after months of hiatus. She interrupted Asuka and demanded a championship match against the Women’s Champion. During the latest episode of SmackDown, Flair was attacked by The Empress of Tomorrow. As a result, Flair responded to the attack on Twitter, following the episode of SmackDown.
Charlotte Flair wrestled Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania 39. She lost the SmackDown Women’s Championship to the Eradicator, who won the Women’s Royal Rumble. Flair had been out of action since the match and returned only a few weeks ago. With her return to SmackDown, WWE inserted her into the title picture.
On the latest episode of SmackDown, Charlotte Flair took on Lacey Evans. Flair defeated Evans in a quick match. However, after the match, the Women’s Champion attacked Flair and ambushed her from behind. Asuka mocked Evans and saluted the crowd mockingly. The Empress of Tomorrow then left the ring.
Asuka tweeted the clip, to which Charlotte Flair replied. She said, “Cheap shots and ambushes? Yeah, I still have your number”. The two have been exchanging tweets ever since Flair returned. They will clash on the upcoming episode of SmackDown for the championship. WWE will go to London for Money In The Bank, and therefore the match will take place on the go-home edition of SmackDown.
Fans have gone on social media to react to the match. According to them, Charlotte Flair getting a title shot out of nowhere does not make any sense in WWE programming. Flair is one of the most prominent superstars on the main roster. However, her storylines have been unconvincing to the audience recently.
Charlotte Flair poses like her husband on SmackDown
Flair married former WWE superstar, Andrade last year. However, the two do not work together, as Flair is a top star in WWE, while Andrade works for AEW. This has not stopped the couple from showing their love for each other on television. Recently, Andrade returned to AEW programming as he wrestled on the debut episode of AEW Collision against Buddy Matthews.
Coincidentally, Matthews is dating Flair’s former opponent, Rhea Ripley. The two superstars referenced their respective relationships during their matches. Buddy used Rhea Ripley’s submission against Andrade, while the latter used Flair’s famous figure-4 submission move on Matthews. The moves did not go unnoticed by fans, as they reacted to the match immediately on Twitter.
Charlotte Flair also made sure that she acknowledged her husband. During her match with Lacey Evans, she posed like her husband, Andrade. The move received a lot of attention, and fans talked about it online. These exchanges on national television have increased in the past year since the growth of AEW as a competitor against WWE.
