Charlotte Flair Keeps WrestleMania Opponent a Mystery After Rejecting Rhea Ripley’s Plea on WWE RAW

WWE RAW took place on February 3rd at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland, Ohio. Charlotte Flair was on hand to make her big Netflix debut, and she’s doing so as a 2025 Women’s Royal Rumble winner.

The Queen was on RAW this week, so she could address her Royal Rumble win. She already made it clear that she doesn’t know who she will challenge just yet.

Charlotte Flair made her way out to the ring at the conclusion of RAW’s first hour this week. She received a rousing welcome from fans, as they bowed down to The Queen. The first two-time started off her promo by saying that she missed fans booing and cheering her, because last year on the injured list sucked.

Flair said that the last year broke her mentally and physically, because she didn’t know if her knee was going to get better. Then she stopped as fans booed her even more, but she said she will embrace all the boos, because she loves the fans. She explained that she loves the fans, because whether they’re wooing or booing, it doesn’t change the fact that she is “the greatest WWE Superstar in the history of this industry, so boo me now!”

Suddenly, Rhea Ripley interrupted Charlotte Flair’s promo. Mami entered the building, and she had a huge ovation behind her. There is a long history with two WrestleMania matches between them, with one win each.

Rhea Ripley was quick to remind Charlotte Flair that RAW is her show. Then, she said that going to war with someone helps you earn respect, which she has for Flair. Then she pleaded with Flair to pick her, because the last time they competed at WrestleMania, Mami came out on top. At that point, Charlotte Flair reminded Ripley about their first WrestleMania match, where Flair won the NXT Women’s Title.

Charlotte Flair then said she’s going to NXT this week and SmackDown to see if Giulia or Tiffany Stratton inspires her. However, she said that Rhea Ripley jumped the gun, and she proved to her that she’s “still just a kid,” so she told her she will see her next week. Ripley didn’t like that response, especially since Flair didn’t show her the respect she showed her “so I can beat the respect into her.”

We will have to see what is next for Charlotte Flair, but this will be a busy week for her. She will be on NXT and SmackDown on top of RAW, and we will have complete coverage here at Ringside News.
