10 New Directions For WWE After Fastlane 2023

Some things are inevitable in WWE: Someone will open Monday's flagship by saying, 'I've always wanted to say this...' before welcoming everyone to Raw, creative forgets about the Draft mere weeks after it happens, and Charlotte Flair will always, always be in consideration for titles around these here parts.

Another championship reign is incoming for the 'Queen' people.

Charlotte was heavily protected during that Triple Threat at Fastlane for IYO SKY's Women's Title. Sure, Flair took the fall in the end, but only after Asuka had tapped out to her Figure Eight (which Bayley ensured the ref missed). Overall, Charlotte also palmed off a ton of offence from both opponents.

WWE seems intent to portray Flair as a top babyface hero who halts Damage CTRL's ability to use the numbers game and prolong IYO's reign. Will it work? No, probably not, because face Charlotte is rather painful. That seems to be where things are heading anyway.
