The Queen returned to in-ring action after over a year to enter the 2025 Women's Royal Rumble Match. She won the bout to punch her ticket to a championship clash at The Showcase of The Immortals. Flair chose to go after Tiffany Stratton, and the two were involved in a heated rivalry on the Road to WrestleMania.

On the most recent edition of the Busted Open podcast, wrestling veteran Bully Ray stated that her character traits did not resemble those of a babyface. The 53-year-old noted that there was nothing special about The Buff Barbie's presentation apart from her finisher. For this reason, he believes Stratton should have lost to Flair.

There's nothing.'] This is why Charlotte Flair should have defeated Tiffany Stratton at WrestleMania," he said. [From 02:44 to 03:19]
