Charlotte Flair Wins 2025 Women’s Royal Rumble, NXT Star Shocks
Charlotte Flair returned from injury at the 2025 Royal Rumble, entering at number 27 and eliminating Roxanne Perez to secure her historic second victory.
Charlotte Flair captured the 2025 Women’s Royal Rumble Match, making history as the first woman to win the annual competition twice. Flair, who entered at number 27 wearing a knee brace following her year-long absence, last eliminated Roxanne Perez to secure the victory.
The match opened with IYO SKY and Liv Morgan. During the contest, Jordynne Grace made her WWE debut, while Alexa Bliss marked her return to in-ring competition. WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus delivered her signature Stratusfaction during her appearance in the match.
Nikki Bella entered at number 30, competing for the first time since the 2022 Royal Rumble. Nia Jax dominated a portion of the match by eliminating six competitors simultaneously before Flair eliminated her.
With this victory, Flair joins an elite group of eleven WWE competitors who have won multiple Royal Rumble matches. She now has the opportunity to challenge either Rhea Ripley for the Women’s World Title or Tiffany Stratton for the WWE Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 41.
What a comeback for CHARLOTTE FLAIR!
