Charlotte Flair does not disagree that she should be higher up the card. She just thinks the tag run is getting her somewhere.
Flair, who has spent the past year teamed with Alexa Bliss rather than chasing singles gold, was asked on Busted Open Radio whether she ought to be positioned as a top attraction.
Do I agree that I should be a main attraction? Yes. Do I think that I should be looked at and marketed like that champion that you’re thinking? Yes.
She then made the case for what she is doing instead.
But I think being in this tag, whether it’s slow or not for some of my fans, I think there is a bigger picture, and that I’m going to keep working towards, keep fighting for that.
The word she reached for surprised her a little.
So, in me being able to be comedic with Lexi or in the tag or working with so many different characters, and I don’t want to say underdog, but I’m kind of like, am I kind of like an underdog right now? A little bit.
Her read is that the tag work has let audiences see something the dominant version of her never showed.
But I think it’s just showing that vulnerability and showing that, like, hey, I don’t need to have a main. Like, I’m interesting.
Flair last held a singles title in December 2023. She and Bliss, now billed as the Twisted Queens, teamed up in June 2025, won the Women’s Tag Team Championships at SummerSlam that August and held them for 100 days before losing to The Kabuki Warriors. She competed in the SummerSlam ladder match for the Interim Women’s Championship this month, which Chelsea Green won, and has since started a three-way alliance with Bliss and Tatum Paxley on SmackDown.
She is not treating any of it as a step down.
I truly believe this was, like, the best year of my career, and I’ve never been more versatile. So I’m like, if I can do that in a year that everyone had kind of, I felt, written me off, imagine what I can do in five years.
