WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair recently posed with former WWE star Nia Jax for the latter’s Instagram post. Her caption read:
“Yin & Yang 🖤💛”
Charlotte Flair and her challenger Rhea Ripley is set to battle it out for the title at WrestleMania 39. It is one of the most awaited contests on the card. The two stars will make history by being part of the first sequel to take place on The Grandest Stage involving female wrestlers.
Their segment on the latest edition of the blue brand proved to be a lackluster promo. As per a report by Fightful, Flair and Ripley deviated from the original plan.
Mid-way through Charlotte Flair’s match against Shotzi, the 2023 Royal Rumble winner walked out into the arena to taunt her WrestleMania opponent. Flair called out Rhea to watch as the former forced Shotzi to tap out to the Figure 8 Leglock. After the bout, the duo cut a very awkward promo:
“We’re told the Charlotte-Rhea Ripley promo “deviated a little bit off the original plan,” but weren’t told how.”
Speaking on WWE Die Woche, Ripley explained her decision to challenge Charlotte Flair for the strap over Bianca Belair, despite being a member of the RAW roster:
“My choice to choose Charlotte was mainly because of revenge. She is pretty much my kryptonite and I’m sick and tired of it. I’ve worked so hard to get to where I am and be the sort of person that I am today and prove to everyone what I’m capable of and she’s the last person I have to prove myself to. I know, in my heart, at WrestleMania, she’s going to learn who Rhea bloody Ripley is and she’s not going to like the outcome.”
