Bengaluru, March 28: Charlotte Flair is just weeks away from heading into Wrestlemania for the third year in a row to compete in a championship match. Following the Fastlane PPV event, it was determined that Asuka will be the challenger for her Smackdown Women's title. She is invoking the title match clause due to the women's Royal Rumble match victory.
However, there's uncertainty whether this match would happen or not. Another injury scare broke out in the WWE after an official statement was released on the company's official website. It stated that Charlotte Flair is dealing with an injury. Hence, she was not able to compete in the Mixed Match Challenge contest, last night.
Not much was disclosed about the concussion that is bothering the Queen of the blue brand nor it revealed her exact status for Wrestlemania. Considering that we are just 12 days away from the biggest event of the year, the speculations are running rampant whether she would be 100 percent fit going into New Orleans, Louisiana.
I respect Asuka.

As you can see new participants were called down from the women's roster to participate in the Mixed Match Challenge. Becky Lynch, Lana and Miss Money in the Bank, Carmella were selected from the Smackdown female division. Through fan voting, the Irish Lass-kicker was selected for the contest. She managed to guide her team to the final match, next week.
