Charlotte Flair has stated that she wants to wrestle men in WWE for their titles.
What do you do when you’ve held women’s titles across three brands twelve times? Declare that you want to wrestle men for their titles.
Gary Cassidy of Sportskeeda asked “The Queen” if she’d ever personally pursue a male championship like Tessa Blanchard.
She responded,
"“It’s something that I want to pursue but, if you look at the big picture, when women are succeeding in different organisations all around the world, we’re all succeeding and we’re all winning from that, so for her to hold that accolade is just…”"
Flair continued,
"“We should support and be just extremely proud, as a woman, to see her do that because when one’s doing well, we’re all doing well, and that is what has pretty much driven the Women’s Revolution is we work better in numbers, so it’s not something that I think about right now but I couldn’t be more proud and happy for what she is doing for women around the world.”"
Although it would be really cool to see Flair wrestle men and wrestle them for their title, it’s very unlikely to happen. WWE hasn’t let women wrestle men in years. The Mixed Match Challenge is as close as they’ve gotten in recent years, which is a real shame. Flair competed in the MMC with her partner, Bobby Roode.
Here are some Superstars I’d like to see square off with Charlotte Flair, even if there isn’t a title on the line.
Randy Orton
Randy Orton is a third-generation wrestler. Flair is obviously a second-generation wrestler. Orton has been one of the best of his generation. He also has one more title reign than Flair.
As seen in the video above, Orton has no qualms getting physical with women in the ring. He has hit his trademark RKO on multiple women over the years. Although she could take it, Flair would be expecting the RKO and could easily counter it and put him in the Figure Eight.
The physicality between these two would be fun to watch, although the match would likely feature many rear chin locks. Can you imagine how heated the promos would get leading up to a match?
The meeting of two of the best second-generation talents would be a WrestleMania ready match.
Bray Wyatt
Keeping with the second generation Superstars, Bray Wyatt has to be on the list to face The Queen.
Although Wyatt vs. Flair would be quite interesting, I think The Fiend would be an even better opponent. For all the matches that Flair has had, none have been cinematic. With the rise of those types of matches in WWE lately, it would make sense here.
Wyatt was in a cinematic match with Orton with the House of Horrors match. Of course, The Fiend had his epic FireFly Funhouse match at WrestleMania. This type of match would be something fresh for Flair to be involved in. It would push her in a way that we haven’t seen before.
Roman Reigns
You can’t have a second-generation match without Roman Reigns. The Big Dog comes from the storied Anoa’i family.
This is another WrestleMania level match. For better or worse, Flair has been booked like Reigns was a few years ago. The talent is there and they are both stars. However, WWE forced Reigns on fans for years. The same has been happening with Flair.
The NXT Women’s Championship was put on her to bring ratings up. It turned out that Flair ended up being booked on all three brands. No one is denying that Flair is a workhorse. But, it’s been overdone and it needs to be pulled back to prevent burnout for Flair (some fans have long been burnout on her).
Regardless, Reigns vs. Flair would be a huge attraction. These two are at the top of their game and know how to rise to the challenge in big moments.
Andrade
ANDRADE would be a given. “El Idolo” is one of the roster’s best and just happens to be engaged to Flair. Matches between former tag team partners have built-in drama. A match between a real-life couple would be no different, except maybe there would be even more drama.
Both wrestlers are at the top of the game and have consistently been putting out great matches. A match between them would force them to raise their respective games even more. They are going to want to push each other to their limits and perhaps beyond said limits.
A word to the wise: Flair would be smart to have Zelina Vega banned from ringside.
Adam Cole
Cole became the longest-reigning NXT Champion back in March when he surpassed Finn Balor’s record of 292 days. On June 1, Cole surpassed the one year mark as champion.
Being a two-time NXT Women’s Champion herself, it’s only logical that Flair would return to NXT (again) to take on such a dominant champion. Their styles would mesh well. Neither are above playing a little dirty when necessary.
This could be a show-stealer at an NXT TakeOver, baybay. WOOOO!
These are just a handful of Superstars that Flair could face if WWE allowed intergender wrestling. Intergender wrestling happens all over the world and in major promotions like IMPACT. More companies are likely to have women represent their companies as THE top champion. WWE should get on board sooner rather than later, otherwise they’re likely to be left in the dust.
