Charlotte Flair has been spotted in Philadelphia ahead of tonight’s episode of SmackDown, according to a new report from PWInsider. This marks the first SmackDown broadcast following Elimination Chamber 2025.
The Royal Rumble winner has not been officially advertised to appear on tonight’s show, which will air live from the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Flair returned to WWE at Royal Rumble 2025 after more than a year away due to injury. She secured her WrestleMania opportunity by winning the Women’s Royal Rumble match, earning a championship match against Tiffany Stratton at WrestleMania 41.
Stratton successfully defended her WWE Women’s Championship at Elimination Chamber this past Saturday, teaming with Trish Stratus to defeat Nia Jax and Candice LeRae.
The appearance of Flair in Philadelphia suggests the Royal Rumble winner might make an appearance on tonight’s show to further develop her championship storyline with Stratton heading into WrestleMania.
WWE has not made any official announcements regarding Flair’s status for tonight’s broadcast as of this report.
