Charlotte Flair made her triumphant return to WWE TLC when she replaced Lana in the Women's Tag Team Championship match to take on Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax.
Her return was a huge success, as she won the tag team titles with Asuka to become a WWE Grand Slam Champion in the process. The 12-time Women's Champion now joins Bayley, Sasha Banks, and Asuka on the elite list of stars who have won every title available in WWE.
Despite winning the tag team titles, Charlotte Flair and Asuka are essentially singles wrestlers. Asuka is the WWE RAW Women's Champion. Therefore, as we head towards the road to WrestleMania 37, she will soon be entering a title program, which means wrestling in singles action.
Charlotte Flair is one of the most decorated WWE Superstars in the company's history. WWE will no doubt use her legacy and star power to elevate both the women's tag and singles divisions on Monday Night RAW.
Similar to the Golden Role Models earlier this year, Sasha Banks and Bayley both fought in tag team and singles matchups. Charlotte and Asuka could very well do the same. There are plenty of opponents for Charlotte to face on Monday Night RAW.
In this article, we will look at five opponents for Charlotte Flair after WWE TLC.
#5 Charlotte Flair could feud with Nia Jax
Nia Jax was the reason why Charlotte was written off WWE television back in June. Jax attacked "The Queen" backstage on the June 17 episode of Monday Night RAW and slammed her arm into a crate, causing her six-month absence.
Charlotte got some form of revenge by defeating Jax and Shayna Baszler for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships at WWE TLC. However, Charlotte will undoubtedly be looking to dish out some payback on Jax face-to-face.
Charlotte hasn't faced Nia Jax one-on-one since 2017, therefore the match is somewhat fresh. Charlotte Flair's comeback has already made a statement, but "The Queen" will most certainly want to reinsert her dominance in the women's division. Nia Jax is the perfect first opponent for Charlotte to do just that.
#4 Charlotte Flair could feud with Shayna Baszler
As one-half of the former tag team champions, Shayna Baszler will be gunning for Charlotte Flair to get some payback for losing the titles.
Baszler and Charlotte have never met in singles action on WWE television, so the latter's return is the perfect time to do so.
They did clash in this year's Royal Rumble match. Many assumed that Baszler would be victorious to go on and face Backy Lynch at WrestleMania 36, but the honor would fall to Charlotte Flair.
Charlotte would go on to win the NXT Women's Championship at WrestleMania 36, while Baszler was unsuccessful in her title match against "The Man". Since then, they have been kept apart from one another, until now.
Baszler vs. Flair is a new and fresh first-time matchup that WWE could push and promote to boost the ratings on their flagship show.
#3 Charlotte Flair could feud with Mercedes Martinez
Charlotte Flair and Mercedes Martinez have never been in the same ring together, let alone wrestle one another. So, if Martinez were to be The Queen's next opponent, it would be another first-time match that WWE could promote heavily.
Martinez made her Royal Rumble debut in January of this year but was eliminated from the match before Charlotte entered.
Martinez is a legend in the wrestling business and was a massive signing for NXT. She had a very entertaining feud with Rhea Ripley, which saw them clash in a brutal Steel Cage match on NXT.
Martinez made her main roster debut as part of RETRIBUTION. However, this was a short-lived experience and she was removed from the faction quietly. She hasn't been seen on WWE television since.
There is no better way for Martinez to make her presence felt with a huge return to challenge Charlotte Flair to a match.
Martinez and Charlotte are both highly-skilled and decorated wrestlers, so it could be a fascinating clash if it were to happen.
#2 Charlotte Flair could feud with Lana
Lana could be on a collision course with Charlotte Flair after the latter returned at WWE TLC and replaced The Ravishing Russian in the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship match.
Lana was removed from TLC when Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler injured her in a brutal beatdown, which seemingly ending a long-term rivalry and storyline in the process.
Nia Jax targeted Lana. She bullied and beat Lana, putting her through a table nine weeks in a row on WWE television. Lana got a semblance of revenge when she shocked Jax and pinned her with a roll-up victory earlier this month.
Lana was meant to be in this Tag Team Championship match. It was supposed to be her time to prove that she belonged in a WWE ring.
It was Lana's big chance to exact revenge on Jax for all of the pain she caused and for every time she drove her through the WWE announce table. However, that was not to be. The Queen took/stole that spot from Lana, who was cast aside for Charlotte Flair's grand return.
Lana could now be out for revenge on Charlotte Flair for stealing her spot. Charlotte and Lana have never been in the WWE ring together, so it would be interesting to see what they could do when they went one-on-one.
#1 Charlotte Flair could feud with Asuka
Charlotte Flair and Asuka may be the Women's Tag Team Champions, but they have a long history and a storied rivalry.
At WrestleMania 34, Charlotte Flair ended Asuka's undefeated streak. Nine months later, The Empress of Tomorrow defeated Charlotte and Becky Lynch at TLC to become SmackDown Women's Champion for the first time.
The Queen ended Asuka's first title run in the lead up to WrestleMania 35 when WWE decided to make the triple threat main event with both titles on the line.
Asuka and Charlotte Flair clashed again in tag team action, which culminated in a match at last year's TLC event. Then, earlier this year, the duo met again on Monday Night RAW three more times over the space of a month. Their final meeting was a title match the July 17 episode of RAW, which Asuka won.
The match would be the last time we saw Charlotte Flair for six months after Nia Jax injured her arm. Charlotte returned to team up with her former enemy Asuka to win the tag titles. But how long can the champions co-exist, considering their deep-rooted rivalry?
Asuka is now a double champion. But, as RAW Women's Champion, she will soon be entering a title program as WWE heads toward WrestleMania 37. Charlotte Flair is the perfect opponent for Asuka at the "Show of Shows".
The Queen brings legitimacy and star power to RAW. Another feud with Asuka would go a long way in re-establishing The Empress of Tomorrow at the top of the mountain after months of lackluster booking and opponents.
Asuka vs. Charlotte Flair round 100? Bring it on.
