Ric Flair and Charlotte Flair's storyline heated up during this week's episode of WWE RAW.

Charlotte was scheduled to wrestle Lacey Evans in a one-on-one match. Before that could happen, The Nature Boy made it clear that he wouldn't take orders from his daughter, labeling his relationship with Lacey Evans as a "casual" one.

The Queen came out to confront her father, but the conversation immediately shifted to The Sassy Southern Belle's true intentions. It was revealed that Lacey Evans would get a RAW Women's Championship match against Asuka at Elimination Chamber if she could defeat Charlotte in a singles match.

While Lacey didn't exactly pin or submit The Queen, Charlotte lost her composure and got herself disqualified after she snapped against her opponent. Technically, Lacey won the match here, which means that she will now face Asuka for the RAW Women's title at the Elimination Chamber event.

The Sassy Southern Belle has immensely benefited from Ric Flair and Charlotte's storyline, even though it is unlikely that she will become the new RAW Women's Champion at the upcoming WWE pay-per-view.

As a result, one has to wonder if Asuka should have been booked in a multi-person Elimination Chamber match instead of Drew McIntyre, as the latter already had a pre-established rivalry with Sheamus.
