Charlotte Flair will return at WWE Royal Rumble.
After a vignette teased Flair’s looming return on the January 17th episode of WWE SmackDown, another video the following week confirmed the date of her return. In a video that aired on the January 24th episode of WWE SmackDown, Flair announced that she would return at WWE Royal Rumble, as she said that she would be entering the Royal Rumble match.
Flair has been sidelined since December 2023. She suffered a torn ACL, MCL, and meniscus during a match against Asuka on the December 8th episode of WWE SmackDown.
Charlotte Flair previously won the Royal Rumble match in 2020. She is a 14-time champion on the main roster. Flair has also held the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship.
Charlotte Flair Is Still Hungry
Flair has made it clear that, even with all of her success, she is still as hungry as ever. Speaking on the Forever Young Podcast, she discussed her injury and her mindset about her return.
“It definitely made me slow down, and maybe I needed to slow down,” Charlotte Flair said. “But I’ve had the opportunity to be a part of most of the firsts for the women in WWE, and I think for me, knowing that I’m as hungry right now being the most-decorated female or having all these firsts, that I’m just as hungry now as I was when I debuted in 2015, that tells me that I’m doing something right because I think that’s what sets people apart from others.”
“If they have all these accolades but they still want to be better, get better, and still make an impact, even though I don’t feel this way, but I feel some people could say, ‘Oh, Charlotte could walk away and have an incredible legacy,'” Charlotte Flair continued. “But to me, I still have more things that I want to do, I still want to grow…there’s more. I think that’s the easy way, to say, ‘She’s done it all. What’s left?’ What’s left? That’s when it gets hard to reinvent, to re-create.”
