Charlotte Flair has been reigning RAW Women's Championship since defeating Nikki A.S.H. and Rhea Ripley at SummerSlam. She is back on her throne as one of the top women's superstars in WWE as she continues to create her legacy in the industry.
She successfully defended her title against Alexa Bliss at Extreme Rules, showing her dominance.
Charlotte recently faced a stern test from Bianca Belair, with the champion having to resort to using a steel chair to get herself disqualified in their title match on RAW.
Let's take a look at five challengers for Charlotte Flair's RAW Women's Championship, starting with The EST.
#5 Charlotte Flair vs. Bianca Belair
Trending
On the latest edition of Monday Night RAW, Charlotte Flair defended her Women's Championship against Bianca Belair. Bianca came very close to defeating The Queen, but Charlotte got herself disqualified to bring the match to an end.
After the match, The EST of WWE picked up the steel chair that Charlotte used to get her disqualified. Belair proceeded to hit Charlotte with it, to let out her frustrations. It's definitely not the end of this rivalry. Despite Bianca fighting for the SmackDown Women's Title at Crown Jewel, her home is on RAW, with Charlotte's home now SmackDown.
Could the writing be on the wall and we end up seeing Bianca Belair win the SmackDown Women's Championship at Crown Jewel? A championship vs. championship match at the Survivor Series would be perfectly set up for the next pay-per-view in November. Of course, historically, Survivor Series is the annual RAW vs. SmackDown event.
This would lead us to once having one double-champion, but down the road it is likely each brand's championship will end up back on the right show.
Time will tell, but Crown Jewel could be a big factor in how the future of the women's division will look.
Bianca Belair spoke about facing Charlotte Flair in an interview with TalkSPORT last year:
"We have two great athletes in the ring and we’re only going to bring out the best in each other. So I’m excited to have more opportunities to really get down in the ring with her, but I feel like we haven’t even really shown what we can do yet – we’re going to create some magic in the ring one day."

We certainly can't wait to see some of that magic once again in the ring between Charlotte Flair and Bianca Belair.

#4 Charlotte Flair vs. Shayna Baszler
The Queen vs. The Queen of Spades. Charlotte Flair vs. Shayna Baszler. This would be a rivalry like we've never seen before. We have already seen a glimpse of what these two women would be capable of.
Shayna is one of the most unique performers on the WWE roster and brings a different aura and legitimacy to her style. Now that both ladies are officially on SmackDown, it is a chance for them to finally have a feud. If the RAW Women's Championship remains on Smackdown for a little longer, it could have the makings of some hard-hitting title matches.
#3 Charlotte Flair vs. Naomi
It is about time that Naomi got her chance in the spotlight, and what better way than to be placed in the title picture?
The RAW Women's Title is somewhat temporary on SmackDown. It is a championship that has eluded Naomi during her time with WWE. Although she currently has Sonya Deville screwing with her, maybe Adam Pearce can step in and do the right thing.
Charlotte Flair and Naomi will put on some highly athletic matches that will no doubt captivate the WWE Universe. They had one mini-feud in 2017, but now might be the right time to pull the trigger and let the pair create some magic.
#2 Charlotte Flair vs. Zelina Vega or Doudrop
Charlotte Flair could be forced to face the winner of the Queen's Crown Tournament. Zelina Vega and Doudrop will collide at the Crown Jewel pay-per-view to determine the winner.
To really elevate the winner, a title shot should be granted. Both are Monday Night RAW superstars moving forward, meaning they have the right to essentially challenge for the RAW Women's Title.
The Queen has never faced Zelina Vega or Doudrop so it would create a fresh storyline and match for the WWE Universe. It would also bring the RAW Women's Title back to RAW if one of the women were to topple the champion from her throne.
#1 Charlotte Flair vs. Sasha Banks
A renewed rivalry could happen following the Crown Jewel pay-per-view.
If Sasha Banks fails to capture the SmackDown Women's Championship, she could immediately set her sights on her fellow horsewoman. Both Charlotte and Sasha are contracted to SmackDown so it would make sense for them to lead the women's division on the blue brand.
Of course, there's the small matter of the RAW Women's Championship.
We could potentially see a similar scenario to what we discussed earlier involving Bianca Belair. Banks could win the SmackDown Women's Title at Crown Jewel and essentially set-up a huge championship vs. championship showdown at Survivor Series.
Either way, it's going to be an interesting few weeks for Charlotte Flair and the RAW Women's Championship.
