Charlotte Flair praises WWE women’s tag division, names dream singles opponents
Charlotte Flair feels like she and Alexa Bliss have been able to make a difference in the WWE women’s tag team division.
At WrestleMania 42, the Women’s Tag Team titles will be on the line when current champs Nia Jax & Lash Legend defend against Flair & Bliss, The Bella Twins, and Bayley & Lyra Valkyria. Ahead of that, Flair appeared on Busted Open Radio this morning and discussed her involvement in the tag title picture. Flair believes the division is “stacked” at the moment with so many incredible women involved.
“When I won the titles with Lexi in August [at] SummerSlam, it really did feel like I was holding up a World title,” Flair said. “Given the scenario last year when I came back and losing at WrestleMania last year and then out of nowhere — no one had that [teaming with Bliss] on their bingo card. And I don’t know what I would have been doing had the opportunity not come up.
“So I do take the match for the tag titles very serious, because I do feel like what Lexi and I have been able to create together has made a difference. And saying that, there has been — when Lexi and I were going to Raw and facing Bayley & Lyra or IYO & Rhea, there’s been some incredible women revolving around the tag titles. I don’t know if there’s been that much competition — there’s always been competition but that stacked tag team division that there is now. And that says a lot.”
Before Flair & Bliss were paired together, Flair didn’t know if WWE had any creative plans for her. She wasn’t sure if she would even be featured on SummerSlam 2025 — but she ended up winning the Women’s Tag Team titles with Bliss at the PLE. It took place at the same venue (MetLife Stadium in New Jersey) where Flair main evented WrestleMania 35 alongside Becky Lynch and Ronda Rousey.
Flair told Busted Open that the knee injury she suffered in December 2023 has helped her become more grateful and appreciate every moment. She’s having a lot of fun in the tag division and wants that to carry over whenever she shifts her focus back to going after singles gold.
When asked about potential dream opponents, Flair named Jade Cargill, Stephanie Vaquer, and this new version of Liv Morgan that she’s never faced before. Flair also believes that she and Rhea Ripley have unfinished business. With a 1-1 record against each other at WrestleMania so far, Flair wants to finish that trilogy.
