10 Quick Fixes For WWE's Women's Division In 2020

6. Charlotte Flair Wins The Royal Rumble...But Ducks Becky Lynch

Charlotte Flair was the first confirmed entrant in the 2020 Women's Royal Rumble, and why on earth wouldn't she be?

'The Queen' hasn't had the busiest of years, but it's that absence from the top of the card that's paradoxically shored up her reputation as a solidified WWE main eventer. 2019 was the year she proved that she could be of headline standard without regularly having to go on last, and there'd be few complaints of her pedigree if she came out of the Battle Royal on top.

But what if she returned to her roots in the aftermath?

Challenging Rhea Ripley for the NXT Championship would proffer something brand new for WrestleMania (and the Road To it), whilst allowing a narrative to fester that Flair no longer has faith in herself to beat longstanding rival Becky Lynch. The two will feud forever, so there might as well be something new to add to the mix - and that's before consideration of just how good Flair/Ripley on 'The Grandest Stage' might actually be.
