After a truly shocking result, WWE announces what's next for Charlotte Flair

WWE has announced what's next for Charlotte Flair after a shocking outcome on SmackDown. The Queen, who holds the Women's Tag Team Championship with Alexa Bliss, took on Piper Niven on this week's show in a one-on-one match.

The 14-time women's world champion was the obvious favorite heading into the contest, but interference from Alba Fyre and Chelsea Green turned the tables. Green raked Flair's eyes, allowing Niven to drop her with a driver and pick up the win, in one of the most shocking results of the year.

Now, Flair will have her chance at revenge next week on the go-home show before Clash in Paris. Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss will defend their Tag Team Titles against The Secret Hervice on SmackDown in Lyon, France. The match was made official during this week's show.

Flair and Bliss won the championship at SummerSlam after beating The Judgment Day's Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez. Since then, they have been feuding with The Green Regime, who have gotten in their way.

The Tag Team Champions will be eager to get back to winning ways after this week's result.

Alexa Bliss was not in Charlotte Flair's corner on SmackDown

Charlotte Flair was overwhelmed with interference from Alba Fyre and Chelsea Green in her match against Piper Niven. Notably, her tag team partner, Alexa Bliss, didn't come out with her and was missing from the ringside.

As Flair made her way to the ring, Wade Barrett mentioned that Bliss was not medically cleared to be on the show. Little Miss Bliss had beaten Niven last week on the blue brand, but she was attacked by The Green Regime after the match.

It was noted that her absence was due to the attack. With the Tag Team Titles set to be defended next week, Flair would hope Bliss will be back healthy alongside her.

Sherjeel Malik is a writer at Sportskeeda and covers pro wrestling. He was hooked on the product from the moment he saw The Hardy Boyz jumping off ladders during the Attitude Era. While he comes from an engineering background, Sherjeel’s love for pro wrestling and content writing led him to pursue a career in sports journalism. Before assuming his current role at Sportskeeda, Sherjeel worked at other reputable organizations for five years.

While writing articles, he ensures that he only relies on credible sources for information and covers relevant subjects that do not project an agenda against a particular person or association. WWE legend Paul Heyman once shared Sherjeel’s work on his social media handle.

Sherjeel’s earliest memory of pro wrestling is watching Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker square off for the WWE Title in the main event of a pay-per-view in 1998. His favorite wrestlers are Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy. While he admires Orton for his character work as a heel, he looks up to Jeff because of his unique wrestling style and risk-taking ability.

If he could go back to the Attitude Era, Sherjeel would like to manage Ken Shamrock and be his mouthpiece. He feels Shamrock’s promo skills prevented him from becoming a main event-level act in WWE. Hence, he would like to help the UFC Hall of Famer get over with fans.

When not writing about pro wrestling, he likes to read classics and fiction books.
