WWE NXT: 5 potential mystery partners for Charlotte Flair

This Wednesday on WWE NXT, Charlotte Flair teams up with a mystery partner to face Rhea Ripley and Io Shirai in tag competition. Who could she tag with?

WWE NXT TakeOver: In Your House will see Io Shirai and Rhea Ripley both challenge Charlotte Flair for her NXT Women’s Championship in a triple threat match, but first, they collide in tag competition on Wednesday with the challengers facing the champion.

But the champion needs a tag team partner. Which, given how the Flair character often positions herself as holier than thou and better than just about every other woman in the WWE, it won’t be the easiest task for The Queen to find herself a tag team partner. But alas, she still needs someone by her side for one night only.

Who could that partner be? Let’s take some guesses.

Candice LeRae

The newly heel Candice LeRae has enjoyed a fresh transition to the dark side alongside her husband. In her and Johnny Gargano’s quest to become “NXT’s first married couple to reign over NXT” as champions, LeRae is going to need to make a statement in the women’s division that she belongs at the top.

Accepting an invitation to join the top champion for a night would be step one of such a thing. Even if it amounts to only LeRae attacking Flair mid-match and leaving her out to dry (thus forcing a one on one match between them down the line), LeRae would be inserting herself into the same conversation as the NXT Women’s Champion, which isn’t a bad thing.
