Charlotte Flair, who is a nine-time Women's Champion, made her in-ring return last week. The Queen skipped Stomping Grounds and Extreme Rules but she is expected to feature at SummerSlam. While Charlotte defeated Liv Morgan on SmackDown Live last week, she faced Ember Moon this week. Moon, who is set challenge Bayley at SummerSlam, beat Charlotte after a distraction from the Hugger.
Following the match, the Queen was furious and she demanded a match at The Biggest Party of the Summer. She even claimed to face a big name at SummerSlam. It is speculated that the WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus could face Charlotte Flair at SummerSlam which is less than three weeks away. It will be interesting to see if the two colossal names collide at The Biggest Party of the Summer.
Here we discuss three reasons why Charlotte Flair vs Trish Stratus must happen at SummerSlam:
#3 Charlotte Flair doesn't have a credible opponent at SummerSlam
There is no denying that Charlotte Flair is one of the biggest female Superstars in WWE. As a result, she continuously gets to perform in big matches. Considering SummerSlam is a gigantic event, she doesn't have a noteworthy opponent. Since the Queen failed to beat Ember Moon this week, she will not be in the SmackDown Women's Title match.
Charlotte Flair won the SmackDown Women's Title at SummerSlam last year where she beat Becky Lynch and Carmella. She main-evented the Showcase of Immortals along with Ronda Rousey and Becky Lynch. However, Charlotte is still not confirmed to be part of SummerSlam this year.
The return of Trish Stratus could alter the scene and the Queen could get the opportunity to face an elite opponent. The seven-time Women's is one of the most decorated Women's Champion, hence, she could match the stature of Charlotte Flair.
#2 The dream match could rejuvenate the women's division
The women's division reached its peak this year when the women main-evented WrestleMania for the first time. While Becky Lynch made history by winning the blue belt and the red belt, the momentum started to derail after the flagship event. The women's division needs a big boost and Trish's return could bring back the spotlight.
Following WrestleMania 35, WWE lost two of the biggest names in the women's division and it was certainly a big blow. Sasha Banks was unhappy with her booking and she hasn't been in the ring after the Showcase of Immortals. Ronda Rousey, on the other hand, also left and she is not likely to return anytime soon.
Becky Lynch will defend the RAW Women's Title against Natalya, while Bayley will face Ember Moon. Both the challengers are not big names, therefore, the two matches will not garner the attention of the WWE Universe. Considering Charlotte and Trish are two most decorated names of the women's division, a match between two women could be a titanic draw. The dream match could lift the current women's division.
#1 Trish and Charlotte are competent enough to deliver an extraordinary rivalry
While Charlotte Flair is a full-time Superstar, Trish Stratus is not an active performer. Trish's last WWE match was at Evolution which was held last year. The seven-time Women's Champion was supposed to face Alexa Bliss but the latter got injured. However, she teamed up with Lita to defeat Alicia Fox and Mickie James in a Tag Team Match.
Judging by Trish's last match, she is still adept at delivering a stupendous match. Though she has been away from the ring for a long time, her performance was praiseworthy. Charlotte, on the other hand, is one of the greatest in-ring performers to grace the ring if not the greatest. If Trish and Charlotte lock horns at The Biggest Party of the Summer, they could tear the house down. Due to the sublime mic skills of both women, the feud could become exciting.
