WWE Universe witnessed the return of Charlotte Flair at the 2025 Royal Rumble event. It was a monumental moment for her as she clinched her second Rumble win. However, witnessing the fan reaction to her victory, WWE might just have listened to the audience for her plans moving forward.

According to Dr. Chris Featherstone of Sportskeeda on Backstage Pass, WWE will be utilizing Charlotte Flair as a heel for her WrestleMania 41 feud. It has rumored for months that she will be battling Tiffany Stratton at the event. Originally, Flair was supposed to work the feud as a babyface. However, after witnessing the audience’s reaction to her on Monday Night RAW, WWE might have switched up their plans.
