Several top WWE Superstars and legends showed up last night on RAW's debut on Netflix. While Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, and Alexa Bliss were rumored to be on the show, none of them appeared. Former WWE employee Tommy Carlucci recently predicted when the three ladies would return.
While The Goddess has been on maternity leave for nearly two years, The Queen has been absent since December 2023 after suffering multiple knee injuries during a match against Asuka on SmackDown. Meanwhile, The Man's contract expired in June 2024. However, WWE seemingly confirmed Becky's return as she was included in RAW's teaser on Netflix.
While none of the three ladies were on the red brand last night despite speculations about their potential return, Carlucci predicted on the Behind The Turnbuckle: The Last Word podcast that the company would push their comeback until the Royal Rumble. He said that either Lynch or Flair could win the Women's Royal Rumble Match and challenge Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania 41.
"Personally, I think they're gonna push Charlotte and Becky to Royal Rumble and have them actually be in the Rumble, and maybe one of them win to actually face Rhea at WrestleMania. So, I think that's how long we're gonna wait a three weeks before we see even Charlotte, Becky, and maybe, even Alexa Bliss, too," he said. [22:01-22:19]
On his Notsam Wrestling podcast, WWE analyst Sam Roberts addressed the upcoming Women's Royal Rumble Match. He claimed Charlotte Flair could return to participate in the match.
The 41-year-old picked The Queen as the favorite to win the Women's Royal Rumble for the second time in her career.
"Charlotte is my pick to win the Women's Royal Rumble this year right now, but who knows? Who knows she'll even be back," he said.
Former 24/7 Champion Peter Rosenberg also predicted that Flair would return to win the Women's Royal Rumble and book her ticket to WrestleMania 41. It will be interesting to see if that happens.
