In this contribution, the likelihood of seeing charged Higgs and W boson production in the context of 2HDMs type-I and type-X at the LHC is examined, assuming that either h or H resembles the detected resonance around ∼ 125 GeV. We consider the possibility of the charged Higgs boson decays channels through H^± → W^± hi / A, focusing on the bb and ττ decays of hi and A. In both type-I and type-X insights of the 2HDMs, we investigate the potential fingerprints resulting from the previously mentioned charged Higgs production and decay. We find in our study that these signatures can have sizable rates at low tanβ as long as the condition MH^± < mt - mb is met. As a result, we propose the bb and ττ final states associated with WW as an encouraging experimental avenue that would complement the LHC search for a charged Higgs boson.
