5 reasons why Charlotte Flair will drop the SmackDown Women's Title next week

The biggest shocker from this past week’s episode of SmackDown Live was Charlotte Flair beating Asuka to become the new SmackDown Women’s Champion.

The surprise doesn’t lie in Charlotte Flair winning the match - the Queen is one of the most talented superstars in the women’s division and has the ability to put on decent matches every now and then.

The surprising fact about Charlotte’s victory is the timing! With WrestleMania around the corner, it usually doesn’t happen that a major championship changes, but here we are with Charlotte Flair as the new SmackDown Women’s Champion.

#5 Flair proved her credibility, but dropping the title seems best for business

Charlotte Flair defeated Asuka to become the new champion on SmackDown

Ever since Charlotte got hand-picked by Vince McMahon for the Raw Women’s title match at WrestleMania, there have been critics all around claiming that the queen is not a worthy opponent.

Flair’s WrestleMania opponents too have taken jibes at her by not being a credible part of this bout at the grandest stage of them all.

Charlotte had the worst outing on Raw this past week when all three women - Ronda Rousey, Becky Lynch, and Charlotte competed in a beat the clock challenge, which was won by Becky.

What remains pretty startling is that Charlotte Flair was the only one to not win amongst the three, thus dropping her a bit more in the order!

But The Queen being the warrior she is, silenced every critic by defeating Asuka all by herself, to win the SmackDown Women’s Championship.

Charlotte did a tremendous job but it seems that the Queen might have to drop the title next week simply because it seems best for business.

Flair is set to battle Becky and Ronda for the Raw Women’s title, thus it is most likely that the SmackDown Women’s title will be dropped by the Queen such that we have an altogether different bout for the women’s title exclusively belonging to the blue brand.

The Queen is set to face Ronda Rousey and Becky Lynch in arguably the biggest match of her career, as the three women are set to create history by competing in an all women main event at WrestleMania, yes something like that has never happened before!

#4 A chance to give someone from the SmackDown Women's locker room a major push

Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville have been impressive so far

When you talk about the SmackDown Women's locker room - there are many names that often impress us with their in-ring prowess and more.

Now imagine what a major push an individual shall have upon becoming the new Women's Championship right before the Grandest Stage of Them All!

Things like these truly make this company special, and knowing the WWE, a new champion might be on the cards.

If women like Mandy Rose, Sonya Deville, or say an out of the box pick in Nikki Cross becomes the New Champion - the scenes will be terrific and nothing short of spectacular!

WWE has taken giant strides in revolutionalizing the Women's Division, and the proof is right in front of us as three women superstars - Ronda Rousey, Becky Lynch, and Charlotte Flair are set to headline WrestleMania. An enticing turn of events in the SmackDown Women's title picture will definitely turn out to be a masterstroke.

Charlotte dropping the title to someone relatively new will be like a passing the baton moment in the evolution of women's wrestling!

#3 The Queen's eye will be set on just one belt - Raw Women's Championship

The three women will make history come April 7

WrestleMania is known to provide awe-inspiring moments which then stay alive in the memories of WWE enthusiasts forever. The 35th edition is on its way and we can't wait for the Showcase of Immortals simply because Mania is utterly special!

WrestleMania 35 will always be remembered for a lot of things but the one thing which shall be recalled upon the most is the fact that this edition's main event will be graced by three iconic women who will soon see their names lodged in the history books of the WWE.

Ronda Rousey will be defending her Raw Women's Championship in a Triple Threat match against Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair. While Becky has been on a roll, Charlotte grabbed many headlines recently for becoming the new SmackDown Women's Champion.

While her recent accomplishment is mighty impressive, I just feel that at this stage with WrestleMania so close, Flair's sole aim should be to claim the Raw Women's Championship.

Charlotte dropping the SmackDown title will get her wholehearted attention back on the big prize - The Raw Women's Championship, and most importantly a chance to become the first woman to win a WrestleMania main event.

#2 For the sake of keeping Asuka ‘ready’ for WrestleMania

Asuka will be looking to compete at WrestleMania 35 for the SmackDown Women's Championship

Asuka faced a shocker as the Empress of Tomorrow lost out to Charlotte right before WrestleMania! Asuka has had a decent run but her lack of connection with the WWE Universe isn’t helping her a lot.

With that being said, the former SmackDown women’s champion has nothing going on right now, and with Mania approaching, it is confusing as to what the company holds for Asuka at the Showcase of Immortals.

Charlotte dropping the title seems like the right choice simply because Asuka’s only shot at competing at WrestleMania is by being involved in the SmackDown title picture.

A rematch with Charlotte is off the cards simply because the Queen is set to main event the PPV alongside Becky Lynch and Ronda Rousey, and any other match wouldn't make sense.

#1 Add some more drama to the hottest feud of the company

Becky or Ronda costing Charlotte the belt will add yet another dimension to this feud

It's perfectly clear that the hottest feud heading onto WrestleMania is between 3 women who'll be vying to become the centerpiece of a historic moment.

Becky Lynch, Ronda Rousey, and Charlotte Flair have gone to great lengths in order to keep this clash as intriguing as possible and there is every chance that 15 years from now people will remember what a great time it was when 3 dominant women fought for the Raw Women's Championship at the Grandest Stage Of Them All!

If WWE Creative does decide to take the title away from Charlotte Flair, then it is quite likely to happen due to her fierce rivals, Ronda or Becky!

This will be a perfect way to take the title away from Charlotte, as a sudden interference will not hurt Charlotte's status and at the same time, it'll do the desired job, which is to have someone else walk into WrestleMania as the SmackDown Women's Champion!
