5 possible opponents for Charlotte Flair at SummerSlam 'that will be better than Ember Moon'

On tonight's SmackDown Live another match was teased for SummerSlam with 'The Queen' Charlotte Flair having a rant backstage about being left off of the SummerSlam card whereas Bayley and Ember Moon would be on it.

Charlotte Flair lost to Ember Moon earlier on in the night after Bayley caused a distraction. This clearly upset Charlotte and this is what she had to say about it,

"Did you see what happened earlier tonight with Bayley and Ember? No? It was a slap in the face. Actually, no, being off of SummerSlam is a slap in the face.No, Bayley choosing Ember has her opponent at SummerSlam is a slap in the face."

She went on to add that she will be on the SummerSlam card and would have a 'better opponent than Ember Moon'.

"You know it made me think - how do you leave the woman solely responsible for the Women's Revolution off of SummerSlam? No, how do you leave the queen of all eras of Sports Entertainment off of SummerSlam? How? Mark my words I will be at SummerSlam. Actually, no, I demand to be at SummerSlam and my opponent will be better than Ember Moon and I'm going to prove why I am the greatest female Superstar of all time"

But, assuming that Charlotte Flair will have a match on the SummerSlam card, who could her opponent be? Well, let's take a look shall we? Here are five possible opponents for Charlotte Flair at SummerSlam that are 'better than Ember Moon'

#5. Trish Stratus

Trish Stratus seems like the most likely opponent for Charlotte Flair at SummerSlam

I have put this one first because I actually think this is the most likely option and would be a huge match to add to the card for a multitude of reasons.

First of all a match between the former record-holder for women's world title wins with Trish Stratus and her seven world titles and the current record holder Charlotte Flair, with eight, would be a match big enough for any card, even WrestleMania.

Secondly if you look at the specific verbage used by Charlotte in her backstage promo above it certainly seems to hint that not only is she going to wrestle a Superstar from the past, but that it will be Trish. She says she's 'the queen of all eras of Sports Entertainment' and that she wants to 'prove why [she's] the greatest female Superstar of all time.

Thirdly, Pro Wrestling Sheet reported that Trish Stratus vs Charlotte Flair is indeed the plan for the event.

And finally there's the below tweet.

Seems fairly conclusive right? Charlotte Flair Vs. Trish Stratus, old Vs. new, battling it out to determine who truly is the greatest of all time.

#4. Sasha Banks

Will a match with Charlotte at SummerSlam be the thing that entices Sasha Banks back to WWE?

'The Boss' Sasha Banks has been missing from WWE television for quite some time now and is still the subject of constant speculation that she is due to return fairly soon. First it was around Extreme Rules and now it's suggested that she'll be back for SummerSlam.

So, if Banks is back for SummerSlam it stands to reason that WWE would give her a high-profile match to capitalise on her anticipated return and also to keep her happy so why not give her Charlotte to wrestle against.

The pair already have a lot of history with each other in WWE having risen through the ranks of NXT to the main roster together as the 'Four Horsewomen of NXT' and they're almost certainly guaranteed to put on a potentially show stealing match if given the proper amount of time to showcase their talent.

#3. Alexa Bliss

'The Goddess' Vs. 'The Queen'?

With Bayley taking on Ember Moon and Becky Lynch taking on Natalya there doesn't seem to be anything for Alexa Bliss to do on the card so why not let her finally turn face and reveal herself as the opponent to Charlotte Flair at SummerSlam.

This not only allows WWE to move forward with the face team of Nikki Cross and Alexa Bliss in the Women's Tag-Team Division but it also lets them make use of two multiple time women's world champions on a big show like SummerSlam.

Sure Alexa Bliss has her detractors and that'll likely never change, but I'd wager that Flair and Bliss battling for bragging rights will be a decent addition to the card, especially if Cross and Bliss are given a PPV spotlight to continue their ongoing relationship and storyline which has been mostly 'hit' so far.

#2. Ronda Rousey

There are several reasons why Ronda Rousey could be Charlotte's opponent at SummerSlam and why if it's an option WWE should absolutely go for it!

Firstly, Ronda Rousey and Charlotte have unfinished business. Let's not forget that time Charlotte annihilated Rousey with a kendo stick and left the 'Baddest Woman on the Planet' battered and bruised.

Secondly it's been widely speculated that Ronda Rousey is on her way back to the WWE sooner rather than later with SummerSlam becoming the epicentre of online Rousey return speculation. Rousey has stepped up her involvement with WWE stars on her social media so it could be true.

It would be a fairly big deal and a huge moment for SummerSlam as well as a much needed shot in the arm of WWE's Women's Division that seems in dire need of some adrenaline given WWE's woeful use of it over the last few weeks.

#1. Becky Lynch

This one is, perhaps, the least likely to happen but there's certainly no denying that a continuation of the long-running Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch feud would be worthy of a SummerSlam match.

But Becky Lynch already has a match I hear you think to yourselves whilst reading this. And you're right! But Lynch has pulled double-duty before and Charlotte has deployed her nepotism to wrangle opportunities she doesn't deserve before so there's every chance that Flair could talk her way into taking on Lynch for the title One. More. Time.

Lynch, being 'The Man' and the winner of the first female WrestleMania main event would definitely be considered 'better than Ember Moon' and beating her would help Charlotte prove once and for all that she's the 'greatest female Superstar of all time'.

But, realistically this is probably less likely than another Superstar of the past like Kelly Kelly, Lita or Torie Wilson.
