The Ric Flair and Lacey Evans relationship might play into the story of the Women's Royal Rumble Match this weekend.

Of course, the winner of the 30-Superstar battle royal will earn the right to challenge the champion of their choosing at WrestleMania 37. But the Royal Rumble Match is also important for other reasons.

The marquee match typically contains multiple plotlines within the match itself. As of this writing, Evans has not officially entered the match. But it would be a major surprise if she doesn't compete in the battle royal. Charlotte declared herself for the match on the January 4 episode of WWE RAW.

Assuming that Evans does participate, Ric Flair will not be far from her side. Here, most fans would expect Charlotte and "The Southern Belle" to cross paths during the Royal Rumble Match itself.

Charlotte has competed in two Royal Rumble Matches during her career, and she has never finished below the runners-up spot. "The Queen" was the last Superstar eliminated by Becky Lynch in 2019. Charlotte Flair won last year's match by dumping Shayna Baszler out of the ring.

If Charlotte fails to win this year's Royal Rumble Match, Ric Flair and Lacey Evans could cause her elimination from the match. This development would allow the feud to continue, as it would set up a definitive blow-off match between the two stars.
