WWE has set plans in motion for Charlotte Flair’s in-ring return, with her participation confirmed for the Women’s Royal Rumble match on February 1st. This marks Flair’s first competition since suffering a major knee injury during a match against Asuka in December 2023.
According to Fightful Select, WWE has discussed a potential WrestleMania 41 match between Flair and Tiffany Stratton. The pairing appears natural given Stratton’s previously expressed admiration for Flair, with fans frequently noting stylistic similarities between the two competitors.
In related developments, reports suggest Rhea Ripley may face Bianca Belair at the event.
The two competitors have a limited history of singles competition, with their last one-on-one encounter taking place at NXT TakeOver: Portland, where Ripley retained the NXT Women’s Championship.
