WWE's first pay-per-view after WrestleMania 37, WrestleMania Backlash, is on Sunday. So natually, half the card is filled with variations of matches from the Showcase of the Immortals.
One of them involves the RAW Women's Championship. Charlotte Flair is added to the picture alongside Rhea Ripley and Asuka. Ripley won the RAW Women's Title at WrestleMania and faces a huge challenge from the red brand's two top women.
This triple threat match could be great thanks to Charlotte's in-ring chemistry with both Superstars. It isn't predictable either, with many possible outcomes. That's why it could even steal the show at WrestleMania Backlash if given enough time.

Here are five possible finishes for the Rhea Ripley vs. Asuka vs. Charlotte Flair match at WrestleMania Backlash. Who will stand tall with the RAW Women's Championship?
#5 Charlotte Flair dominates at WrestleMania Backlash
WWE has conditioned fans to believe Charlotte Flair has a major chance of winning any match she is in. That's the case at WrestleMania Backlash too. The Queen has picked up victories over both Asuka and Rhea Ripley in the past. She could do the same again, especially since she is currently a heel.
Charlotte defeated Ripley to win the NXT Women's Championship at WrestleMania 36 amidst backlash from fans. It isn't beyond WWE to book the same outcome at WrestleMania Backlash. More realistically, The Queen could pin Asuka.
It's likely that the Empress of Tomorrow may take the fall on Sunday before we transition into a feud between Rhea Ripley and Charlotte Flair, and The Nightmare could end up chasing the title again.
#4 Rhea Ripley pins Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania Backlash
WWE could take a different direction at WrestleMania Backlash. Charlotte Flair could get pinned by Rhea Ripley, who finally avenges her WrestleMania 36 defeat.
This is an unlikely outcome as the company may see value in a singles rematch between them later. Nevertheless, it would be a statement of intent by Ripley. She could then move on to different challengers like Naomi and Nikki Cross.
The RAW women's division needs fresh names in the title picture after WrestleMania Backlash. It has been poorly booked for a while now despite the talent on the roster. Hopefully Rhea Ripley's title reign doesn't suffer as a result. She could get a massive boost by beating Charlotte.
Some fans prefer this outcome over The Queen winning the RAW Women's Title. Either way, as long as Ripley stands tall with the belt at the end, all will be well.
#3 Asuka regains the title at WrestleMania Backlash
Asuka is the least likely to win at WrestleMania Backlash. She held the RAW Women's Championship for close to eight months even though it wasn't an eventful reign, which means she's unlikely to win it back soon.
Yet WWE could shock fans with an Asuka victory. She could redeem herself, destroying Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley en route to becoming a three-time RAW Women's Champion. Asuka could return to her NXT dominance and overwhelm her opponents with her brutal in-ring skills.
Will she regain the title at WrestleMania Backlash?
This would feel like a step backward for Ripley, and WWE may not want that. WrestleMania Backlash could also be Asuka's last singles title match for a while.
#2 Sonya Deville helps Charlotte Flair win at WrestleMania Backlash
In the weeks leading up to WrestleMania Backlash, a few seeds for an alliance between Charlotte Flair and Sonya Deville have been planted. The former Fire and Desire member returned to WWE at the start of 2021 as an assistant to Adam Pearce, but her role has grown over time.
Deville now makes many decisions on RAW and SmackDown, and a possible power struggle with Pearce looms. Some of these decisions have directly concerned Charlotte.
Deville allowed The Queen back into the building a week after getting suspended for attacking WWE officials. She then added Charlotte to the match at WrestleMania Backlash between Rhea Ripley and Asuka.
Fans consider the 11-time Women's Champion a favorite of WWE's management, so it would be smart to turn this idea into a proper storyline. It would cement Charlotte Flair as the top female heel once again, this time with the visible backing of an authority figure.
Sonya Deville could turn corrupt at WrestleMania Backlash, as she gifts the win and the RAW Women's Championship to The Queen.
#1 Alexa Bliss cost Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania Backlash
An intriguing element of the women's division heading into WrestleMania Backlash is Alexa Bliss. She says her evil doll Lilly has a specific target on RAW.
This week, she sat on a swing during a six-woman tag team match, observing the superstars involved. Among them were Asuka, Charlotte Flair, and Shayna Baszler. The likeliest to get involved with Alexa Bliss and her spooky doll might be Charlotte, based on her star power alone.
This, in turn, could affect the triple threat match at WrestleMania Backlash. Bliss may interfere and take out The Queen, possibly making her disappear, before Rhea Ripley and Asuka fight each other. It would be interesting as long as WWE has a solid plan for the story.
Ripley is the most likely victor at WrestleMania anyway, and an interference from Alexa Bliss and Lilly could play its part. WWE needs to follow up by elevating several women to challenge for the RAW Women's Championship if the Nightmare pins Charlotte Flair on Sunday.
Whichever way it goes, the triple threat for the RAW Women's Championship at WrestleMania Backlash will feature exciting action between three of the best on the roster.
