WWE began their 2021 Draft during the SmackDown show and some of the main faces of the company changed brands. During the first round of elections, with the third pick, SmackDown chose Charlotte Flair, current Raw Women’s Champion. In this way, Ric Flair’s daughter will have to leave Raw after Crown Jewel to join the WWE blue brand.

According to Raj Giri, the president of Wrestling Inc, the change of the brand of the Raw champion would be a request from Fox, a chain that hosts SmackDown every Friday.

“I’m working to find out which draft picks the networks required, but I can confirm that FOX specifically asked Charlotte Flair.”

On draft nights, televisions often make requests to WWE to keep wrestlers for their shows, so it is not surprising that Fox asked Charlotte. The Raw champion is the most decorated in WWE and is surely one of the most relevant wrestlers in the world, so it does not seem like a tender that Fox wanted her for his program. SmackDown, which airs on Fox, competes indirectly every week with AEW Rampage, AEW’s secondary program, so it is possible that WWE will bet on having a large number of stars to do the competition.

With Charlotte’s move to SmackDown, WWE has just under three weeks to create a story for her to lose the red brand women’s belt. The roster changes will take effect after Crown Jewel and Charlotte currently has no clear rival on Raw.
