Charlotte Flair is back in WWE, and she is the winner of the Royal Rumble match of 2025.
The multiple female champion has fought her first match since her heartbreak of ACL, MCL and meniscus in December 2023, entering her fifth female rumble match at n ° 27. She accumulated four eliminations on her way to the Victory, eliminating Piper Niven alone and throwing Michin before overcoming Nia Jax and Roxanne Perez in the last moments of the competition. This is the second female victory of Flair for women – she also won the match in 2020, finally using her guaranteed title of unorthodox fashion by contesting the female champion of NXT Rhea Ripley. Flair defeated Ripley for the title at Wrestlemania 36; Ripley would make the favor three years later by beating Flair in a title match at Wrestlemania 39.
Flair was widely considered the favorite to win the female rumble this year, especially after the report was released that WWE discussed associating it with the new WWE women’s champion Tiffany Stratton, in Wrestlemania 41 in Las Vegas.
