Money in the Bank Pay-Per-View set the stage for a great match between Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley. It would also be the night that The Queen would finally get one over on Ripley, forcing her to tap out to become the new RAW Women's Champion.

Flair did admittedly use underhanded tactics to pick up the win, trapping Ripley's legs between the ringpost and the steel steps and then slamming it. We could very well see a rematch between the two RAW stars.

However, Flair as RAW Women's Champion also opens up the field for the rest of the RAW Women's division to challenge for the title, meaning that pretty much anyone could challenge Flair for the title next.

Here are five WWE Superstars who could be Charlotte Flair's next opponent for the RAW Women's Title.


#5. Rhea Ripley tried to avenge Charlotte Flair unfairly targeting her leg to pick up the win at Money in the Bank

Starting with the obvious one. Ripley and Charlotte Flair have been in a program together for some time now, some of it has been good and some of it has been bad.

The two women lost the crowd at the beginning of their match during Money in the Bank, but by the end the crowd were fully won over as Flair's vicious assault on Ripley allowed her to tap the Aussie out.

Ripley will probably be sporting a leg injury for a while to sell the effects of what Charlotte did to her at Money in the Bank. This would certainly fit with the storyline that the two have been telling about faking injuries and being 'The Dirtiest Player in the Game.'

But Ripley will more than likely want to try and regain the title she lost and will want revenge for the assault on her leg, so we could very well see the feud between the two continue instead of a new challenger.

#4. Nikki A.S.H could be the hero to take down the villainous Charlotte Flair

After what Charlotte Flair did to Rhea Ripley at Money in the Bank it seems safe to say that the Queen is going full bad guy in WWE, which means that everyone will need a hero to save them.

Thankfully, the company has just the hero for the job, well she's almost a hero. Nikki A.S.H. may not have superpowers, but she does have the power of positivity and more importantly she has the Women's Money in the Bank contract, after winning the Women's MITB Ladder match this weekend.

Nikki A.S.H.'s new gimmick has received mixed reactions from the WWE Universe, but it's one that she fully believes in, one she's fantastic at portraying and the one important man in WWE, Vince McMahon is reportedly a fan. This means we could see a battle of good vs. evil with A.S.H coming out on top at last!


#3. Doudrop dumps Eva Marie and goes it alone to challenge Charlotte Flair

It's only a matter of time before Doudrop completely and utterly loses it with Eva Marie and the very act of her doing so would be enough to see her challenge Charlotte Flair for the RAW Women's Title, alone.

The former NXT UK Superstar has the potentially to be a total monster in WWE's Women's Division if the company play their cards right, and seeing Doudrop break free from her shackles would be massive.

You could even have her demolish Flair in the same way that Bobby Lashley defeated Kofi Kingston at Money in the Bank, in a one-sided squash. It would be shocking and the perfect way to help Doudrop make that jump.

#2. Asuka and Charlotte Flair could renew their storied WWE rivalry

When in doubt for someone to face Charlotte Flair in WWE, simply activate the break glass, and smash the Asuka button until the magic happens. I'm being a little flippant but at this point, WWE must be confident that putting the two together in matches will just work.

The rivalry between the two goes all the way back to Charlotte Flair ending Asuka's undefeated streak at WrestleMania, thus proving that one person was ready for Asuka after all.

Since then the two women have faced each other periodically and honestly, it's about time they did it again. Purely because it reminds everyone that Asuka could be an out-and-out main event talent if booked properly.


#1. The Man Becky Lynch vs. The Queen Charlotte Flair, run it back!

As much as it would be a shame for WWE to revert back to these two facing each other the moment Becky Lynch returns, it would also be one of the biggest feuds you could have in the women's division heading into SummerSlam.

Lynch does seem poised to return any day now and even teased an appearance at WWE Money in the Bank, which she wasn't going to make, obviously. Lynch returning in front of a keen live crowd and confronting Charlotte would certainly blow the roof of the place too.

However, the pair have so much history that they can feud with each other whenever WWE wants them to, so perhaps the company will wait and have Lynch and Flair do their own things for a while.
