Dana Brooke wants to challenge Charlotte Flair at WWE Royal Rumble

WWE has not penciled in Charlotte Flair for a singles match at the Royal Rumble, but Dana Brooke wants to make it happen. In a recent interview with Matthew Connell of Alternative Sport, she said:

"Honestly, Charlotte Flair. I feel as though Charlotte and our business is not done yet. I started my career with Charlotte tagging being her protege. So I feel like I have something to prove and be like 'Look, you've done all this in me before. Now I can stand face to face you and say, You know, I can do this. You've motivated me. I haven't got a chance to show you what I'm capable of ,and I definitely would absolutely love to stand face to face with her and show you that I'm possible of doing anything and also not only being the 24/7 champion, but going after her for her title as well."

Both WWE Superstars are a part of the Women's Royal Rumble right now, and there are no indications to suggest a singles match will be added to the card before Saturday.
