Charlotte Flair remains one of WWE’s top stars, renowned for her incredible in-ring performances that have earned her a record 14 World Championship reigns. However, fans often criticize how frequently she’s placed in title matches, taking away the spotlight from the younger crop of talent. Adding to that conversation, the company has now booked ‘The Queen’ for yet another championship bout at Evolution 2. But this time, with an intriguing twist.

On the July 4th edition of SmackDown, GM Nick Aldis announced a high-stakes triple threat tag team match featuring Flair and Alexa Bliss against The Secret Hervice and B-FAB & Michin, with a shot at the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles at Evolution on the line. Though their alliance seemed uneasy at first, the two former Women’s Champions surprisingly managed to work together and pick up the win. Moreover, they secured themselves a championship opportunity at the all-women’s premium live event.

WWE has been subtly building an intriguing storyline between Flair and Bliss over the past few weeks. What initially seemed like a setup for a potential singles feud gradually took a different turn, as fans began enjoying the chemistry between ‘The Queen’ and ‘The Five Feet of Fury’ on screen. This was visible on SmackDown as the duo exchanged playful taps on the head during a segment before the match and the ending of their tag bout.

Sensing the crowd’s reaction, WWE shifted gears and decided to explore an alliance between the two, leading into their tag team journey toward Evolution. Now, Flair and Bliss are set to challenge for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles at Evolution next week in a high-stakes Fatal 4-Way Match.

They’ll face the reigning champions, Roxanne Perez & Raquel Rodriguez, along with two other teams from Raw and NXT. This marks The Queen’s first title match since her tough loss to Tiffany Stratton at WrestleMania 41. With momentum on their side, it will be interesting to see what WWE has planned for Flair and Bliss on this all-women’s stage.

Charlotte Flair acknowledged her friendship with Alexa Bliss following SmackDown victory

Alexa Bliss has been on a mission to rekindle her past friendship with Charlotte Flair, dating back to their early days in NXT. A few weeks ago on SmackDown, ‘The Goddess’ shared a heartfelt moment, recalling an incident from 2014 where ‘The Queen’ made her feel seen and confident. However, Flair has been distancing herself from Bliss, coldly brushing off those memories and claiming she no longer cares about the past.

However, following their victory on SmackDown, the 14-time World Champion shared an unexpected hug with ‘The Five Feet of Fury’, possibly signaling a shift in their dynamic. While the embrace appeared somewhat forced, it may hint that Flair is slowly beginning to accept Bliss as a friend. Despite the awkward moment, the two stood tall in the ring, celebrating their hard-fought win together.

Additionally, last week, Flair shared a throwback photo with Bliss from their NXT days, even tagging ‘The Goddess’ and adding an emoji that hinted at feeling overwhelmed with nostalgia. With all the emotional tension and subtle shifts in their dynamic, it’s clear there’s more to this storyline than meets the eye.

Charlotte Flair talked about a babyface run in 2025

Charlotte Flair made her return at Royal Rumble 2025 as a heel, debuting a new persona dubbed ‘The Top Girl.’ The character quickly drew heavy backlash from fans, cementing Flair as the top heel on SmackDown during her heated feud with Tiffany Stratton. However, in a recent interview, ‘The Queen’ hinted at the possibility of a babyface turn in the near future.

Speaking with WrestleZone, Flair expressed her appreciation for interacting with fans, especially children. The former Women’s Champion emphasized that fans are the heart and soul of the wrestling business, adding, It’s all about the fans. Flair went on to hint at a potential babyface turn, saying she’d be open to exploring that path if the opportunity arises.

I really do enjoy seeing the kids. And that’s what it’s all about, right? It’s the fan interaction, and if it wasn’t for you guys, we’d be out of business.

Currently, Flair finds herself aligned with top babyface Bliss, which could potentially pave the way for ‘The Queen’s own babyface turn down the line. However, with Triple H delivering major surprises in his booking recently, it remains to be seen what direction WWE has in store for Flair on SmackDown.
