WWE RAW delivered a rather dull show this week

#2 Impressed on WWE RAW: Charlotte Flair

Charlotte Flair will soon get a shot at the WWE RAW Women's Championships

WWE Superstar Charlotte Flair returned on the first episode of RAW after WrestleMania 37. She didn’t feature at the pay-per-view this year, and The Queen was not happy about the same. She addressed the WWE Universe and said that he would go after the RAW Women’s Championship. The promo was brilliant and played its part well in introducing a ‘new’ Charlotte Flair.

Later in the night, Rhea Ripley put her RAW Women’s Championship against Asuka in their WrestleMania rematch. The two WWE Superstars delivered a grueling battle for the second night in a row. Unfortunately, the match ended in disqualification after Flair attacked Ripley and Asuka at ringside. She cemented her heel turn on the Red brand and demanded a shot at the RAW Women’s Championship.

It is expected that WWE will book a triple-threat match for the RAW Women’s Championship between Rhea Ripley, Asuka, and Charlotte Flair at their upcoming pay-per-view, WrestleMania Backlash. The Queen is adamant to prove that she doesn’t take away the fan favorites' opportunities backstage. Instead, she's good enough that she deserves to dominate the title picture. Flair looked very convincing, and the segment was quite engaging.

The only problem is that we have seen this unfold in WWE a lot of times in the past. It would be a huge challenge for the creative to ensure that Charlotte Flair’s role in the title feud isn’t the same as always, dominant but monotonous. They should avoid building her up at the cost of other top names that have just gained good momentum.
