Charlotte Flair Claims WWE Had No Creative Plans After WrestleMania 41 Before Alexa Bliss Alliance Changed Everything

Charlotte Flair’s 2025 comeback started at the very top — and then hit an unexpected wall.

Flair returned at the start of the year, won the Women’s Royal Rumble, and punched her ticket to WrestleMania 41. There, she challenged Tiffany Stratton for the WWE Women’s Championship but came up short on the biggest stage. What followed wasn’t an immediate rebound storyline — it was silence.

After WrestleMania, Flair disappeared from WWE television for weeks at a time, leaving fans wondering what was next for one of the company’s most decorated stars. Now, Flair has openly acknowledged that the absence wasn’t part of some long-term plan.

Speaking with Clutch Points, Flair explained that she found herself in unfamiliar territory following the loss. Flair admitted that timing — and circumstance — played a major role in how her next chapter unfolded.

“I wrote the essay, and then Lexi [Alexa Bliss] had been pitching to partner with me, and I had been such an isolated character for so long.”

“Then, Evolution happened. I couldn’t have planned it better. I had just gotten to a point where they had no creative for me after WrestleMania.”

Rather than forcing a quick reset or returning to old formulas, Flair said she was pushed into a rebuilding phase — something she hadn’t really faced before at that level.

“What was next was to, I don’t know, rebuild. And like [John] Cena said, ‘Don’t be perfect, be you.’”

That shift ultimately led to her alignment with Alexa Bliss, a pairing that initially raised eyebrows but quickly gained momentum. The two went on to capture the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles at SummerSlam, holding the championships for 100 days and giving Flair a completely different lane to operate in than her usual singles dominance.

For Flair, the run wasn’t just about gold — it was about rediscovering herself creatively after hitting a rare career pause.
