The 2025 WWE Royal Rumble opened with the Women’s Royal Rumble Match, delivering high-energy moments, surprise entrants, and an emotional return for Charlotte Flair. However, while Flair’s victory secured her spot at WrestleMania 41, it also triggered a massive wave of backlash from WWE fans.
The moment WWE uploaded the official clip of Flair’s win to YouTube, fans wasted no time making their displeasure known. At the time of writing, the video has 5,513 likes but a staggering 16,447 dislikes, meaning nearly 75% of viewers rejected the outcome. This overwhelmingly negative reaction speaks volumes about the growing frustration with Flair’s continued dominance in the women’s division.
Many fans took to social media to voice their complaints, accusing WWE of recycling the same main-event players and refusing to push new talent. Some pointed out that Charlotte has already won two Royal Rumble matches and had multiple WrestleMania title shots, making it hard to get excited for yet another run.
To make matters worse, Flair hasn’t even announced who she will challenge at WrestleMania 41. With Rhea Ripley (Women’s World Champion), Tiffany Stratton (WWE Women’s Champion), and Giulia (NXT Women’s Champion) all holding titles, there are multiple options for The Queen, but the fan reaction could put WWE in a tough spot.
Some speculate that WWE might adjust their creative plans based on the negative feedback, while others believe Flair is locked in for another main event moment at WrestleMania—whether fans like it or not.
As the Road to WrestleMania unfolds, it remains to be seen if WWE will stick to their decision or throw a curveball to shake things up.
Do you think WWE made the right call by having Charlotte Flair win the Royal Rumble, or should someone else have taken the spotlight? Drop your thoughts below!
