Charlotte Flair continues her medical rehabilitation to return to action. The WWE Superstar suffered a mishap during her last match on Friday Night SmackDown, which resulted in an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, a meniscus tear, and medial collateral ligament (MCL) damage. Flair underwent surgery to fix the problem, and since then, she hasn’t stopped working out to get back to work as soon as possible.

However, her medical leave has prevented her from being in the WWE Draft that the company is carrying out these days. At the moment, it is unknown when she will be cleared to compete, but she did provide a major update that proves that she might be back anytime soon. Even as soon as Backlash!

Early estimates suggested that the wrestler would be out of action for nine months, which would make her miss three of the company’s four “big four” (Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, and SummerSlam). On the other hand, before her injury, Charlotte signed a new deal with WWE that will keep her with the company for several more years as one of the highest-paid women in the company’s history. But who will she face next once she returns? Well, according to Flair, she sure would like to face the EST of the WWE.

Flair wants to share the ring with Bianca Belair for a “one-on-one moment”

Charlotte Flair and Bianca Belair are two of the best wrestlers in WWE history, and surprisingly, in recent years they have not had the opportunity to see each other face-to-face, even though they have always recorded splendid matches. Nonetheless, it seems that both are eager to fight again and this time on a big stage.

While speaking during a WWE World panel during WrestleMania week, Charlotte Flair commented on her desire to have that moment face-to-face with Bianca Belair at a big show in a stadium, hinting at the possibility of facing the two at WrestleMania. She said, “I really want that one-on-one moment with Bianca Belair. I really do. After Bianca, give it for Tiffany. I could not be more proud of her. Seeing her, watching her from home, watching her in Australia. She owns it. She’s going to be a big deal. First, Bianca and I, our history, her athleticism, I respect her so much as a talent. Bianca is the first opponent I would like to have a big stadium show with.”

Despite having several matches throughout their career, Belair and Charlotte have not shared a ring in a one-on-one match since October 2021, a match that took place on a weekly episode of Monday Night Raw and in which Bianca Belair finally won by disqualification after Charlotte attacked her with a chair. So the WWE Universe would surely want a rematch with a better build and ending. What do you think? Should the Queen face the EST when she returns? Let us know in the comments.
