WWE RAW saw a few major superstars return to the show after WrestleMania. Former RAW Tag Team Champions The Viking Raiders made their comeback and defeated Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin.

Charlotte Flair was another surprise return on RAW. The Queen of WWE came out to talk about her absence and put the RAW Women’s Champion on notice. She reappeared during the match between Asuka and Rhea Ripley and attacked both superstars before standing tall.

This week on RAW, WWE must allow Ripley to come out and attack Flair during her match against Asuka. She must then review her past rivalry with The Queen and her NXT Women’s Championship loss at WWE WrestleMania 36.

Following her promo, The Nightmare must warn Flair that she’s not the same Ripley she faced at WrestleMania last year, and issue her a challenge for WWE Backlash.

The angle will put Ripley on the map as a fighting champion and build towards her next big assignment for the upcoming pay-per-view. Flair and Ripley put on some good matches in 2020, and they could replicate that in 2021.
