Charlotte Flair has returned to WWE. Not only that, but she’s your new SmackDown Women’s Champion.
During Friday night’s episode of WWE SmackDown, “The Queen” made her return to WWE television after not being seen since WrestleMania: Backlash.
After Ronda Rousey successfully defeated Raquel Rodriguez to retain her title, Charlotte’s music hit and she came to the ring to face off with “The Rowdy One.” As Rousey taunted her and asked if she wanted a match, Charlotte accepted. But the match wouldn’t be taking place at the Royal Rumble as Rousey suggested – it’d be taking place right here, right now.
With Rousey going against the advice of Shayna Baszler to hold off, the bell rang and Flair quickly rolled Rousey over during an armbar attempt to get the 1, 2, 3.
Ronda Rousey’s reign as SmackDown Women’s Champion ends at 83 days. Charlotte Flair is in her seventh reign with the title. This also marks her 14th overall women’s title reign in WWE.
