While Rhea Ripley stands the chance to redeem her enormous loss to Flair at WrestleMania last year, the challenger stands to gain something more impressive. By beating Ripley for the second time in her career, Charlotte can become a ten-time Women’s Champion.

To become the top contender, Flair knocked off Asuka on Raw. The former Raw Women’s Champion tried her best to repeat the win from last week, but the Queen outsmarted her. After an incredible match between two of the division’s best, Flair rolled up Asuka to pick up a big win.

Asuka busted out her entire arsenal and exhausted every move, waiting for Flair to make a mistake. The clinical Queen dissected her opponent and outsmarted her by landing on her feet off a moonsault, which led to the finish. Flair followed up the moonsault with a standing moonsault for a nearfall, before reversing an Asuka Lock attempt into a pinning combination.

WWE often books their champions like chumps, and that was a trend seen throughout the show. From Bobby Lashley faced with a potential ninety-day suspension to AJ Styles being pinned by Jaxon Ryker, and then Rhea Ripley suffering an embarrassing loss to Nikki Cross, it was a common them throughout the show.

Rhea Ripley approached Charlotte Flair backstage, demotivating her before her big match against Asuka. However, Nikki Cross appeared out of nowhere and claimed she could beat both Flair and Ripley at the same time. Charlotte extended a Beat the Clock challenge to Ripley, who accepted, thinking she could beat Cross within the limited time.
