If Flair was annoyed before, then the match outcome would leave her p*ssed.

The simple play here is having Asuka score the pin for her squad (preferably over Nia 'Eat That Chokeslam, Bitch' Jax) before attempting to celebrate with Charlotte like usual. Instead of the typical hugs though, Flair would be more concerned with her partner's intentions.

Her attention would instantly turn to the Rumble. WWE might even want to tease a heel turn from Charlotte here to sow seeds for the future; Flair is more effective as a villain, and everyone knows it. This smiling babyface routine doesn't really suit her too well, and it never has.

Maybe Asuka can even hit a blind tag when it looks like Charlotte has things well in hand. That's a lazy trope, sure, but it'd fit the story being told here and give Flair even more reason to believe that Asuka fears she'll win the Rumble and challenge her come 'Mania.
