The 2025 Women’s Royal Rumble match opened WWE’s premium live event with Charlotte Flair securing her second Royal Rumble victory. Following the match, fan reaction has been notably unfavorable.
The YouTube clip of Flair’s victory has received significant negative feedback, with 16,447 dislikes compared to 5,513 likes, representing a 75% negative response rate.
Social media platforms filled with reactions questioning WWE’s creative direction, particularly focusing on Flair’s repeated presence in major title opportunities. The criticism centers on the perceived lack of opportunities for emerging talent in the division.
With three potential championship opportunities available for the Royal Rumble winner – Rhea Ripley’s Women’s World Championship, Tiffany Stratton’s WWE Women’s Championship, or Giulia’s NXT Women’s Championship – Flair has not yet announced her WrestleMania 41 opponent.
