Bow down to the Queen! Charlotte Flair has done it. After falling just short last year, Flair finally overcame 29 other Superstars to become the winner of the Women's Royal Rumble 2020 match and will now be challenging for the Women's Title at WrestleMania 36.
In a match that was filled with numerous surprises and unexpected moments and it came down to Charlotte and the former NXT Women's Champion, Shayna Baszler, who entered the Rumble at #30. With the rumors suggesting Baszler coming out victorious combined with the carnage she caused after entering the match, she looked to be the favorite to win it... until Charlotte reminded us all why she should never be counted out.
Let's take a look at the five reasons why WWE decided to book Charlotte Flair as the winner of the 2020 Women's Royal Rumble match.
Be sure to comment down and let us know your thoughts on the same and who do you think she will challenge at WrestleMania 36? The Road to WrestleMania has begun!
#5 To solidify her status as the greatest Women's Superstar of all time
Charlotte Flair is arguably the best women's wrestler of this generation, if not of all time. Leading the charge of the women's revolution from the front, Flair has impressed the WWE Universe with her in-ring skills, charisma, and amazing portrayal of her character as The Queen.
There's no doubt in the fact that Charlotte is a sure-shot future Hall of Famer. In her relatively short career so far, which is sure to go on for many more years, she already is a 10-time Women's Champion and looks all set to break her father and 2-time Hall of Famer Ric Flair's record of 16 World Championships.
A Royal Rumble victory is another massive feather in the Queen's ever-growing crown of accomplishments and will surely solidify her status as the Greatest Women's Superstar of all time.
#4 Put her over as a major heel
Charlotte is a natural heel and portrays her character of The Queen to utmost perfection. Though she was a heel for the majority of 2019, the year ending saw her team-up with Becky Lynch against the Kabuki Warriors, showing signs of a face turn.
After her Royal Rumble victory, when asked by Charly Caruso about her plans going forward, she gave massive heel vibes. The same was also evident during her pre-match backstage interview where she claimed how she let her thoughts get the better of her last year. There's nothing more dangerous than a determined heel Charlotte, having her eyes set on her goal.
"Since day one I have been a diamond cut to last. And whether any of you wanted me to win or wanted me to lose... tonight I reminded you that this is MY DIVISION"
The WWE Universe has been vocal about the booking of Charlotte, and fans have already started complaining since her Royal Rumble victory, which is not a bad reaction for a heel. With the notable absence of stars like Sasha Banks and Ronda Rousey, and Shayna Baszler coming out short, Charlotte might just be the most hated Superstar on the roster right now.
#3 A potential Horsewomen fatal-four way at WrestleMania?
It was in 2015 when three young women from NXT made their way to the main roster and changed the perception of the WWE Universe towards women's wrestling. These were Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, and Sasha Banks. Soon they were joined by another partner-in-crime when Bayley made her main roster debut in 2016. Together, these four Horsewomen of WWE brought a new change in culture!
While they were never officially a faction, much like any other massive group, fans have always been wanting a four-way clash between these Superstars. And what better place to do the same than a showdown at the Grandest Stage of them All.
With Becky Lynch and Bayley mostly entering WrestleMania as the RAW and SmackDown Women's Champions respectively, Charlotte winning the Royal Rumble, and Sasha Banks rumored to challenge for the Smack Down title at WrestleMania, can WWE combine both the rivalries and give us a dream fatal-four way match between them?
Remember, it was Bayley who defeated Charlotte to begin both of her SmackDown Women's title reigns last year, and Sasha was also in a massive feud with The Man not long ago. The four have enough history to build a story around them, and there's no denying that the match concerned would be a showcase for the women's division.
#2 A slow tease to begin the UFC vs WWE four horsewomen feud
The UFC vs WWE Four Horsewomen feud is too big of a rivalry to be left untouched by the company. Having teased it quite a few times in the past, the signs do point towards WWE planning to have the massive match sometime soon.
After last year's historic WrestleMania main event between Charlotte, Becky Lynch, and Ronda Rousey, it was at Survivor Series 2019 where Shayna Baszler defeated both Becky and Bayley in a triple-threat match. Tonight at the Royal Rumble, Baszler left with a sour taste in her mouth as she came just short of winning the match, thanks to the Queen. From what we know of Baszler, she is not someone who'll forgive Charlotte for this.
All this could be a slow build towards the huge UFC vs WWE Four Horsewomen match, which might happen as soon as Survivor Series 2020, or maybe at WrestleMania 37. When and if that match does happen, it is sure to be a historic moment for the Women's division and would help it reach a new level of success and popularity.
#1 WrestleMania 35 rematch with the roles reversed
WrestleMania 35 was a historic one, not only for the women's division but for the entire WWE Universe as we witnessed the first-ever Women's main event match on The Grandest Stage of them all. Almost a year forward, we are again on the Road to WrestleMania with Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair looking set for yet another massive faceoff at the Show of Shows.
There were massive rumors of Ronda Rousey showing up at the Royal Rumble, and while that didn't happen, there's still time left for her to return and get herself involved in the mix.
We might just see a WrestleMania 35 rematch, but this time with the roles reversed as Becky Lynch would enter as the Champion, Charlotte as the deserving Royal Rumble winner, and Ronda Rousey forcing her way into the match, much like The Queen did last year.
What could be the outcome this time if WWE goes ahead with this rematch? Can Ronda get her redemption from last year's Mania, or will Charlotte prove yet again why this is her Division!
