The WWE universe is no stranger to controversy, and Charlotte Flair’s recent booking has once again stirred the pot. Known for her constant presence in the main event scene and frequent title wins, Flair’s latest title shot has sparked a backlash among fans who believe other talents deserve more.
Following a hiatus after WrestleMania 39 to attend to personal matters and spend time with family, Flair made a dramatic return during Asuka’s WWE Women’s Title presentation on this week’s episode of Friday Night Smackdown. Her immediate challenge to Asuka for the title, and the subsequent granting of a title shot, has left fans disgruntled.
In response to the backlash, Flair took to Twitter to share a classic promo video of Triple H, in which he addresses fans who consistently complain about WWE’s booking decisions and threaten to stop watching. The message was clear: Flair is unfazed by the criticism.
Flair believes fans should be grateful for her return. It has been announced that Asuka will defend her WWE Women’s Championship against Charlotte Flair in three weeks, on the final SmackDown before WWE Money in the Bank. Whether Flair’s potential victory will incite further outrage among fans remains to be seen.
