Charlotte Flair was supposed to challenge Asuka for the WWE RAW Women's Championship soon. However, Charlotte recently revealed that she had tested positive for COVID-19. As a result, The Queen has been resting at home during her absence from WWE television.

Less than 20 days remain as WWE WrestleMania 37 will air all across the world on April 10 and 11. So the question remains, will Charlotte be ready in time for WrestleMania? The Show of Shows wouldn't be the same without The Queen, and she could very well return to resume her latest storyline or start a new one on the Road to WrestleMania.

But with such a short amount of time left to go before WrestleMania, what will be Charlotte's status after the pay-per-view is over?

With that in mind, let's take a look at five potential feuds for Charlotte Flair after WrestleMania 37.


#5 Charlotte Flair could resume her feud with Asuka on WWE RAW

The most obvious development for Charlotte Flair upon her return would be to resume her latest storyline with Asuka.

The two stars had become tag team partners in recent memory. But as predicted, their partnership did not last for long. Prior to Charlotte's recent COVID-19 diagnosis, she made her intentions for WrestleMania 37 quite clear.

The Queen wanted to challenge Asuka for the RAW Women's Championship, and their match would have likely occurred at WrestleMania. Now, even if Charlotte returns to resume her pursuit of the RAW Women's Championship at The Show of Shows, a one-on-one match against Asuka may no longer take place at the event.

After all, Rhea Ripley has inserted herself in the title picture during Charlotte's absence. If Charlotte has the same goals, she could be booked in a triple threat situation at WrestleMania.

However, after the pay-per-view, Charlotte Flair can conclude her separate storyline with Asuka. It would be quite odd if their long-term angle (that started at WWE TLC 2020) would just be forgotten after WrestleMania. As a result, Asuka vs. Charlotte should happen soon, with or without the title at stake.

#4 Rhea Ripley and Charlotte Flair will likely face-off once again in WWE

Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley wrestled each other for the NXT Women's Championship at last year's WrestleMania event. Charlotte became the new NXT Women's Champion after she defeated Ripley at the Grandest Stage of Them All.

Since then, Ripley hasn't received another opportunity to fight Charlotte in a one-on-one contest. Many WWE fans believe that the former should have picked up the victory at WrestleMania 36.

Since the result of their previous year's encounter can't be changed, WWE should book a redemption angle for Ripley after this year's WrestleMania is over.

Both stars are currently part of Monday Night RAW. With their top-tier status, Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley will likely cross paths once again.

As mentioned in the previous slide, their involvement in Asuka's RAW Women's Championship scenario could lead to a multi-person showdown. As a result, Ripley and Charlotte's singles feud must be resumed after the culmination of WrestleMania 37.

For what it's worth, either Charlotte Flair or Rhea Ripley could be the RAW Women's Champion after WrestleMania. Perhaps their feud may involve the title as well. But in any scenario, Ripley must overcome The Queen whenever their rivalry is rekindled in the future.

#3 Peyton Royce could step up to Charlotte Flair after WWE WrestleMania 37

Charlotte Flair has been at the top of the women's division for several years now. At this point, she could also help someone else to become a top star in WWE.

Peyton Royce cut a passionate promo on RAW Talk not too long ago. As a result of that promo, she got a chance to step up against Asuka in a one-on-one match. While Royce did not win the bout, it became evident that her in-ring performance against The Empress of Tomorrow was just as passionate as her RAW Talk promo.

Clearly, Royce has the drive to become a top star one day. While she probably won't achieve that goal at WrestleMania 37, WWE could finally pull the trigger on her onscreen push after the pay-per-view.

A feud against Charlotte Flair is exactly what Peyton Royce will need to maintain her relevancy on Monday Night RAW. Out of all the times they have faced each other in singles competition, Charlotte has emerged victorious in every instance.

That dynamic must change over time, as the outcome of their potential feud could lead to a major victory for Royce in WWE.

#2 Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair must cross paths on WWE RAW soon

Charlotte Flair's run on the main roster could take a bizarre turn after WWE WrestleMania 37. On Monday Night RAW, Alexa Bliss has carved out her own relevant spot in a supernatural setting.

While Bliss has mostly achieved her recent popularity through The Fiend and Randy Orton's saga, her newfound potential hasn't been properly unleashed on the women's division.

She came close to becoming the new RAW Women's Champion earlier this year, but her onscreen program with Orton prevented her from achieving that goal.

After The Fiend and Orton's long-term storyline reaches its conclusion, Bliss could finally shift her priorities to the women's division. The Fiend's demonic counterpart could get involved in a feud with Charlotte Flair.

Survivor Series 2017 was the last time these women faced each other in a singles match on WWE television. Bliss was also an entirely different character at that point in time.

Meanwhile, Charlotte Flair isn't someone who steps out of the title picture for any bizarre feuds. Her entire image is built around "championship excellence." So it would be interesting to see her feud with Alexa Bliss for a change of pace.

#1 Charlotte Flair and Bayley's feud on WWE SmackDown could be an exhilarating ride

According to recent rumors, Charlotte Flair could ignite a WrestleMania 37 feud on WWE SmackDown. Being a Monday Night RAW star, the "brand-to-brand invitation" rule would explain her potential appearance on SmackDown, but could it justify her constant presence on the Blue brand for a feud?

Perhaps one way to overcome that plothole would be for RAW to trade Charlotte Flair in exchange for another WWE Superstar from SmackDown.

If Charlotte's next major feud happens on the Blue brand, Bayley seems like the perfect opponent for her. As members of the Four Horsewomen, the two stars already share a detailed history with each other.

On the Road to WrestleMania 37, Bayley has not been booked to wrestle at the pay-per-view, even at this stage. This is a surprising situation since Bayley has consistently delivered in terms of promos and matches in recent memory.

If Rhea Ripley and Asuka's match at WrestleMania proceeds without Charlotte's presence, then Bayley vs. Charlotte sounds like an intriguing matchup at the event.

However, an impromptu feud of such high caliber does not deserve a three-week buildup and conclusion. As a result, Bayley and Charlotte Flair's potential feud should continue even after WrestleMania 37 is over.

Bayley's heelish charisma will ensure that their storyline remains relevant for a while, allowing Charlotte to stay active in WWE without immediately getting involved in the title picture once again.
