Tommy Dreamer doesn't think Charlotte Flair will choose to face Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania 41

After winning the 2025 Royal Rumble match, Charlotte Flair can now choose which champion she wants to face at WrestleMania 41. Given their history at WrestleMania, Rhea Ripley begged Flair to pick her for one more match so that they could settle their score. However, The Queen told her that she would assess the other two champions and then make a decision.

Speaking on his Busted Open Radio, Tommy Dreamer said that Charlotte will choose to face Tiffany Stratton over Rhea at WrestleMania 41.

​

"I think they would go with her [Charlotte Flair] and [Tiffany] Stratton because of what I saw with Rhea Ripley tonight with all the other stuff that was happening... My spidey sense is tingling, and I think something's going to happen with Charlotte and Tiffany Stratton," Dreamer said. [22:20 - 22:44]

It will be interesting to see who Charlotte Flair will choose as her opponent at WrestleMania 41.
