Charlotte made her return to WWE on the December 30th, 2022 edition of SmackDown as the face, beating Ronda Rousey in an impromptu title match for the SmackDown Women's Championship. She would show up after Ronda Rousey had defeated Raquel Rodriguez in a SmackDown Women’s Title Match.

Before Rousey could celebrate her victory over Raquel Rodriguez, The Opportunity suddenly came knocking. Charlotte Flair made a stunning return from an injury that Rousey had caused and immediately challenged the champion to a title contest.

Flair did 40 seconds of work when she quickly turned the tables and rolled up The Rowdy One to become a 14-time Women's Champion! According to Fightful Select, Charlotte Flair's return was not telegraphed internally. The title change was kept very quiet.

During the January 2nd edition of Monday Night Raw, it was announced that Charlotte Flair will be appearing on the show and we will get to know her next move ahead of WWE Royal Rumble.

Predicted Match Card

Bray Wyatt To Come Face To Face With Uncle Howdy

On the final SmackDown edition of 2022, LA Knight came face to face with Bray Wyatt and challenged him to a Pitch Black Match at Royal Rumble which has since been made official.

After LA Knight laid down the challenge, Uncle Howdy once again appeared and attacked Wyatt instead of attacking LA Knight. For sure it was a confusing turn of events, but I belive there could be a swerve reason behind this.

According to my pick, Wyatt will be in the ring to confront Howdy.

Charlotte Flair Vs. Ronda Rousey For the SmackDown Women's Title At Royal Rumble

After Ronda defeated Raquel to retain the SmackDown Women's Title, Charlotte Flair made a stunning return from an injury that Rousey had caused and immediately challenged the champion to a title contest.

When The Baddest Woman on the Planet went for an Armbar in the impromptu matchup, Flair quickly turned the tables and rolled up The Rowdy One to become a 14-time Women's Champion!
