Charlotte Flair competed for nearly an hour in the Women’s Royal Rumble held in Saudi Arabia on Saturday. Despite her strong performance, the former Women’s Champion did not secure a third victory in the match. During the chaotic bout, Flair accidentally eliminated her tag team partner and close friend, Alexa Bliss, causing confusion among fans and commentators.
Confusion Over Alexa Bliss’s Elimination
After the event, viewers pointed out that Flair appeared to try saving Bliss from elimination. The mistake became more evident as there was no official graphic showing Bliss’s exit following Jax’s elimination, signaling a glitch or error in the match’s presentation. This sparked widespread speculation about whether the elimination was intentional or a botched moment.
Though the incident caught fans’ attention, Flair has since addressed the Royal Rumble on Instagram by sharing her match time, but notably, she avoided referencing Alexa Bliss. This omission stands out as fans flooded the comments seeking clarity about Bliss’s status following the accidental elimination.
Future of Bliss and Flair’s Partnership Remains Unclear
It is uncertain how WWE intends to handle this situation moving forward. The storyline involving Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair, who have worked closely as allies in recent months, may be impacted if the elimination error forces a narrative reset. This moment could also mark a turning point in their alliance, potentially leading both wrestlers back to focusing on their individual careers instead of continuing as teammates.
Anticipating Charlotte Flair’s Role in the Elimination Chamber
Charlotte Flair’s endurance and prominence in the Royal Rumble highlight her status as the ironwoman of the match. Given her history with WWE’s Women’s Championship, she is expected to take part in the upcoming Elimination Chamber event and vie for a title shot at WrestleMania once more. Meanwhile, Alexa Bliss, also a decorated champion, could join that same match, although it is more likely they will face off elsewhere beforehand.
Liv Morgan is expected to target the RAW Championship, currently held by Stephanie Vaquer, which might influence the dynamics between Flair and Bliss ahead of the Elimination Chamber. This could lead to new rivalries or alliances as the road to WrestleMania intensifies.
