Backstage reports indicate WWE officials are considering a major change to the WWE Women’s Championship match planned for WrestleMania 41. Charlotte Flair’s position in the title bout against Tiffany Stratton is reportedly in jeopardy following recent on-screen incidents.

The situation stems from last week’s SmackDown, where Charlotte and Stratton exchanged personal jabs during their segment that sources claim weren’t part of the approved script. Internal reports suggest this was a continuation of tensions that began two weeks earlier when Charlotte allegedly went off-script during a split-screen interview in what some fans perceived as an attempt to undermine Stratton’s performance.

WWE management, led by Triple H, is reportedly weighing disciplinary action that could result in Charlotte being removed from the WrestleMania championship match. This wouldn’t be unprecedented, as Charlotte has faced similar accusations of deviating from planned content in past programs with other performers including Becky Lynch and Nia Jax.

If WWE opts to make the change, Becky Lynch would likely step into the title match against Stratton. The switch makes sense from a storyline perspective given Lynch’s existing history with the champion. As one of WWE’s top draws, Lynch’s inclusion would maintain the high-profile nature of the championship bout while allowing WWE to address the backstage situation.

The timing of this potential shake-up comes at a critical point in WrestleMania season, with only weeks remaining before WWE’s flagship event. WWE has yet to make any official announcement regarding changes to the women’s championship match.
