Charlotte Flair, former SmackDown Women’s Champion, has gone on hiatus from WWE once again following her loss to Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania. Meanwhile, Randy Orton, who holds a pinfall loss to Alexa Bliss, has been dealing with a back injury that caused him to miss WrestleMania. There are speculations that his and Flair’s hiatuses could coincide, with both possibly returning to the ring in a few months’ time.
Charlotte Flair wrestling male counterparts
Given the lack of female challengers in the Women’s Division, there is now a call for Charlotte Flair to wrestle against her male counterparts. With Rhea Ripley breaking barriers by wrestling men, this possibility is gaining attention.
Randy Orton as a potential opponent
Randy Orton, having never had an issue wrestling women, may be considered a potential opponent for Charlotte Flair. Both are children of well-known WWE Superstars, with impressive achievements – 14-time world champion for Orton and a similar record for Flair – thus a match between them could be interesting.
Potential impact on WWE’s future
If these matches between male and female wrestlers become common practice in WWE, it could signal a significant shift in the company’s stance on intergender wrestling. Whether or not this will materialize remains to be seen, but the possible return of Orton and Flair to the WWE ring could lead to interesting changes in the future.
