Wrestling interviewer Chris Van Vliet recently predicted the possible winner of the 2025 WWE Women's Royal Rumble Match. His top picks include Charlotte Flair or her former rival Becky Lynch.
The Queen has been absent from WWE television for over a year. Her last appearance was on SmackDown on December 8, 2023, where she faced Asuka. Following a significant injury, Flair has been recovering and fans are expecting her to make a massive return at the Royal Rumble Premium Live Event on February 1, 2025.
On a recent edition of AskCVV on the INSIGHT podcast, Chris Van Vliet offered his prediction for the potential winner of this year's Women's Royal Rumble Match. The popular TV host and podcaster picked Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch as the top contenders, acknowledging their recent absence from WWE programming:
"On the women's side, interesting, because the two women I'm going to pick; we haven't seen [them] in a while. I think the two obvious picks on the women's side are Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch," Vliet said. [From 32:46 to 32:58]

For those unaware, The Man has been on the sidelines from in-ring competition since losing the Steel Cage Match against Liv Morgan for the Women's World Title in May 2024. Her husband, Seth Rollins provided an update, stating that Becky Lynch had not been on hiatus but rather has been actively involved in various projects during the past six months.
According to JoeyVotes on WrestleVotes Radio's Backstage Pass, WWE plans to feature Big Time Becks as a RAW Superstar on Netflix. Meanwhile, Charlotte Flair is expected to make her return as a SmackDown Superstar on the USA Network.
The wrestling world will have to wait and see if both Flair and Lynch will return at the Royal Rumble Premium Live Event and potentially earn a spot at WrestleMania 41.
