Charlotte Flair made her return to WWE programming on the May 9, 2025, edition of SmackDown in Dayton, Ohio. This was her first appearance since a loss at WrestleMania 41.
Upon her return, Flair declared her intentions to pursue championship gold once more. However, she received a negative reaction from the audience, prompting her to address them directly before she walked out.
Later, backstage, Jade Cargill approached Flair, suggesting she must earn her way back to the top. Soon after, Alexa Bliss, who also returned to WWE that evening, engaged Flair in a private conversation. Bliss herself had just ended a 69-day hiatus, securing a victory earlier in the night. Her brief but pointed words to Flair were, “Let’s chat,” hinting at a potential collaboration between the two.

The WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship is currently held by Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez. Morgan’s present filming commitments for a movie have temporarily sidelined her from active competition. Morgan is anticipated to complete her filming obligations around May 16, 2025, and is expected back in the United States the following day, potentially impacting her immediate return to action.
This situation could open a door for a newly formed team of Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss. They might challenge for the tag team titles as early as the Saturday Night Main Event on May 24, 2025. A Flair and Bliss alliance would represent a formidable force, leveraging significant star power. The current champions’ cohesiveness might be affected by Morgan’s recent absence, creating a window of opportunity.
While the prospect of Flair and Bliss capturing tag team gold before the end of May 2025 is compelling, it remains speculative. The coming weeks will reveal if this potential partnership materializes.
