Charlotte Flair is reflecting on her unexpected partnership with Alexa Bliss after the two captured the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships at SummerSlam — and she admits this wasn’t something she ever saw coming.
Speaking on the WWE SummerSlam Post-Show, Charlotte said that teaming with Bliss wasn’t part of any plan when she returned to WWE earlier this year after a year away from the ring.
“I would not have had tagging with Lexi on my 2025 bingo card. I really mean that. When I was sitting at home for a year, I didn’t think, ‘Oh man, I really want to come back and tag with Lexi and win the tag titles.’ For me, it’s kind of like this is what needed to happen. Sometimes the best things come out of nowhere and aren’t expected. That’s what this is. It’s very organic. I don’t think anyone thought this was going to be a thing or that it would work, and it is. That’s when sometimes the best things happen. (Things that) aren’t planned.”
Charlotte also revealed just how much the moment meant to her, ranking it among the most memorable of her entire WWE career.
“Honestly, the ten years I’ve been here, tonight felt like a top-three moment. I’m not just saying that. I didn’t expect this or want this. Dang, I didn’t even think I was going to be on SummerSlam after WrestleMania. I was like, ‘Damn, I came back and gave it all and I don’t know what’s next.’ Here is this little five-feet of furry like, ‘Hey, what’s going on with you? Come hang out with me.’ ‘No.’ Then here we are at SummerSlam, and it was like, damn, even after ten years and everything I’ve done, this felt really freaking cool. It felt cool.”
Charlotte and Alexa, once billed as allies of convenience, have since developed a real friendship — even sealing their title win with a hug on the post-show.
