Bengaluru, January 29: At WWE Royal Rumble pay-per-view, Drew McIntyre won the men's Rumble match whereas Charlotte Flair won the women's Rumble.
McIntyre revealed that he will challenge Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship match in one of the main events of WrestleMania 36. It was also officially announced on WWE’s official website.
Charlotte Flair, however, didn’t reveal her WrestleMania opponent on RAW earlier this week. The reason for her hesitation could be due to the fact that the creative team has not finalized the plans for her as yet.
But the latest update suggests a Queen-sized surprise would be waiting for her at the showcase of immortals wiping out complaints of the Flair fans.

Dave Meltzer noted on Wrestling Observer Radio that Charlotte Flair vs. Rhea Ripley is “on the books” for WrestleMania 36 in Tampa, Florida. If that's true, the 2020 Women's Royal Rumble winner will be going after the NXT Women's Championship.
As previously reported by ringsidenews.com, Charlotte Flair’s WrestleMania opponent isn’t going to be what most of the fans think.
Either The Raw Women's Champion Becky Lynch or the SmackDown Women’s Champion, Bayley were the predictable choices. But WWE will not take the usual route at the grandest stage of them all.
WOOOOO!
