Charlotte Flair will face Iyo Sky for the third time for the WWE Women’s Championship on SmackDown this week. The previous two matches did not end in the favour of The Queen, as she lost the triple threat match Fastlane. The second encounter happened at Saturday Night supershow where Sky defeated Flair with a surprise roll-up.

But with the impending debut of former AEW superstar Jade Cargill, The Queen might face her in the ring soon. However, speculations are that WWE will set them up for the WrestleMania 40 main event.

However, Flair has to be careful about other threats looming around, specifically one from Jade Cargill. Although WWE seems to position Cargill as a top-tier baby face, any interference can cost Flair her 15th World title. But, Triple H might just have different thoughts with the signing of Jade Cargill.

Both superstars are top draws for the wrestling business. Flair is a top-tier performer with a proven record of main-eventing WrestleMania, while Cargill is over with the crowd now. Hence, it should be placed for WrestleMania as both superstars are physically dominating.

 

The only thing that can push the ante up for this match is a World title in the picture. But, to bring any title into the picture, Sky must lose it first. This Friday, Flair has a golden opportunity to dethrone Sky’s first reign while starting her record 15th World Title reign.

However, Flair isn’t the only contender in line for Jade Cargill here. WWE is expected to bring Bianca Belair back on this week’s SmackDown after her 2-month break. While Flair is a strong opponent for Cargill, the same can be said about the EST of WWE.

Moreover, Belair has a history with Flair from SummerSlam. But Jade Cargill has shown interest in feuding against Bianca Belair. While speaking to Fightful, about facing Belair, she said, “That would definitely be a match for the culture because I’m sure that she would put on a show like she always does and I know I would put on a show.
