If there is an opportunity in front of Charlotte Flair, she takes it. That has been the whole story of this Flair vs. Ronda Rousey vs. Becky Lynch rivalry from the very beginning, dating back to the summer of 2018 when “The Queen” shoehorned her way into the SmackDown Women’s Championship match at SummerSlam between Lynch and Carmella.

She has since worked her way into the Survivor Series match against Rousey, albeit that was a decision made by Lynch (in storyline), while she was granted another SmackDown Women’s Championship opportunity against Lynch and Asuka at TLC despite already losing multiple title rematches.

The biggest opportunity that Flair received, of course, came when Vince McMahon hand-picked her to main-event WrestleMania 35, even though she had not won a match in three months and she was eliminated from the Royal Rumble by Lynch.

Maybe this decision to give “The Queen” the title was merely another chapter in the ‘opportunity’ story that has been playing out over the last eight months.
