“The Queen” is moving to WWE SmackDown.
In the first round of the 2021 WWE Draft, reigning RAW Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair was selected by SmackDown, so she’ll officially become a member of the blue brand.

In a backstage interview after this selection, Flair bragged about being the first women’s Superstar to get drafted. She also noted that FOX drafted the real face of the women’s division.
Flair’s current reign as the RAW Women’s Champion began at the SummerSlam pay-per-view, where she defeated Rhea Ripley and Nikki A.S.H. in a triple threat match.
In the past, Flair has reigned supreme on the blue brand; she’s five-time SmackDown Women’s Championship. She was drafted to RAW in 2019, and other than a brief run as the NXT Women’s Champion, she had been on the red brand ever since.
