Charlotte Flair vs. Bianca Belair

Arguably the biggest talking point coming out of last night’s TakeOver is Charlotte Flair’s surprise run-in to not only attack Rhea Ripley after her successful title defense, but to make their NXT Women’s Championship match official for WrestleMania 36.

However, one interesting thing that I could not help but notice is that the 10-time champion opted to also attack Ripley’s fallen challenge, Bianca Belair, before exiting the ring area. Granted, it makes sense after Belair helped Ripley lay out The Queen when she showed up to disrespect the NXT locker room a few weeks back, but I can’t imagine that Belair would take that lying down.

I’d imagine that, surely, this would have to set up either a match between the two, or Belair being added to the Mania match for a Triple Threat. Which would be cool and I know for a fact a lot of people would like to see Belair added to the match, I just don’t see it happening.

What I do see happening, however, is Charlotte Flair having a match the night before TakeOver, just as I’d imagine Ripley will do the same. And there’s no better opponent for Flair in NXT now than the brand’s EST in her breakout year.
