Charlotte Flair Reveals Tag Team Journey with Alexa Bliss

East Rutherford, New Jersey, January 7, 2026

WWE Superstar Charlotte Flair has shared insights about her unexpected tag team with Alexa Bliss, clarifying that their partnership wasn’t originally meant to last. Born out of necessity post-WrestleMania 41, their on-screen chemistry surprised fans and led them to a successful 100-day reign as WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions. Despite doubts about their contrasting styles, Flair credits the alliance for revitalizing her character and enhancing her connection with the audience. As they aim to reclaim their titles, the evolution of their collaboration continues to intrigue fans.

East Rutherford, New Jersey – Recent revelations from WWE Superstar Charlotte Flair confirm that her highly successful tag team with Alexa Bliss was never intended for a prolonged duration, a surprising insight given their solidified presence at events like SummerSlam 2025, which took place in East Rutherford. Flair’s statements, emerging from recent interviews, shed light on the organic evolution of their partnership, which has resonated strongly with audiences and defied initial expectations regarding its longevity.

An Unexpected Alliance: From Pitch to Prowess

The genesis of the Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss tag team traces back to an idea initially proposed by Alexa Bliss herself. This pitch occurred during a period when WWE reportedly had no immediate creative direction for Flair following her WrestleMania 41 defeat to Tiffany Stratton for the WWE Women’s Championship. Flair, who had long maintained an isolated character, acknowledged the unexpected nature of the alliance, particularly her teaming with Bliss, a character widely beloved by fans. Initially, there was hesitation about whether their contrasting characters would effectively translate into a cohesive on-screen partnership.

Flair, known for her formidable and often unyielding persona, found herself in an unexpected pairing with Bliss, a superstar often characterized by her more whimsical or unpredictable nature. This ‘odd couple’ dynamic, initially met with some skepticism, proved to be a catalyst for a significant shift in audience perception for Flair. Whereas Flair’s character often drew boos from the crowd prior to WrestleMania, the partnership with Bliss led to a noticeable increase in positive fan chants, such as ‘We Want Charlotte,’ during premium live events like their match at Evolution in July 2025. This evolution, Flair believes, helped her connect with the audience on a more relatable level, moving beyond an untouchable or ‘perfect’ image.

Despite these initial reservations, the duo’s collaboration quickly flourished. Flair recently highlighted that their genuine chemistry, both in and out of the ring, became a pivotal factor in the partnership’s unforeseen continuation. This strong connection led to a consensus that breaking up the team would feel detrimental, especially considering the positive reception from their fanbase. Alexa Bliss herself has pointed to the evolving storyline as her favorite aspect of their tag team journey, indicating a mutual satisfaction with the narrative progression of their alliance. Their partnership was officially cemented as a formidable force at SummerSlam 2025.

Tag Team Championship Reign and Future Aspirations

The tandem of Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss achieved significant success in the tag team division throughout 2025. They captured the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships in July 2025. Their reign as champions lasted for an impressive 100 days, showcasing their dominance and synergy as a team. However, their championship run concluded in November 2025 when they lost the titles to the Kabuki Warriors.

Currently, Flair and Bliss are actively pursuing a return to championship status, having expressed their eagerness to reclaim the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships. This ambition sets the stage for potential future encounters, as they are now looking to challenge the current champions, Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY, who recently secured the titles from the Kabuki Warriors on the first episode of WWE Raw in the new year. The path to reclaim the gold will see them potentially face Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY, a formidable challenge that highlights the competitive landscape of WWE’s women’s tag team scene. The narrative of their journey continues to unfold, with fans anticipating whether this unexpected alliance will once again reach the pinnacle of the tag team ranks.

Charlotte Flair’s Storied Career and Continued Impact

The context of Flair’s tag team run with Bliss is set against a backdrop of her already illustrious career. Prior to forming the partnership, Charlotte Flair had solidified her status as one of WWE’s most decorated Superstars. She notably won the 2025 WWE Royal Rumble, a victory that granted her a championship match at WrestleMania 41. [cite: 9 (original snippet), 13] This accomplishment is part of her remarkable journey to becoming a 14-time Women’s Champion, placing her among the most titled individuals in WWE history.

Her ability to pivot from a dominant singles competitor to a successful tag team member, embracing a storyline born out of a perceived lack of individual creative direction, showcases her versatility and commitment to evolving within the WWE narrative. This tag team run with Alexa Bliss not only added new accolades to her record but also provided a fresh perspective on her character, proving that even a celebrated ‘Queen’ can thrive in unexpected collaborations. The journey of the tag team, from an unexpected proposal to a celebrated alliance, further underscores the dynamic and unpredictable nature of professional wrestling narratives and Flair’s adaptability within them. Separately, Alexa Bliss also participated in a semi-finals match against Asuka on SmackDown in June 2025.
