Charlotte Flair Teases WWE Comeback After Devastating 2024 Injury

ORLANDO, Fla. — WWE superstar Charlotte Flair is gearing up for a potential return to the ring after missing all of 2024 due to a devastating knee injury. The 14-time women’s champion suffered a torn ACL, MCL, and meniscus during a match in December 2023, sidelining her for over a year.

Flair, whose real name is Ashley Fliehr, recently posted a training video on social media with the caption “Me vs Me.” The video features an internal dialogue between Ashley and her wrestling persona, Charlotte, as they debate her readiness to return to WWE. “Charlotte, she’s selfish. She’s just Ric Flair’s daughter. She’s gonna come back washed,” Ashley says in the video, addressing critics. “You’re gonna prove them wrong. Ashley, get out of your fucking head.”

The Queen of WWE has been a dominant force in the women’s division since her debut in 2013. Her absence in 2024 left a significant void, with fans eagerly anticipating her return. Speculation is mounting that Flair could make a surprise appearance at the women’s Royal Rumble match on February 1, 2025, marking her official comeback.

Flair’s injury occurred during a high-stakes match last year, forcing her to undergo extensive surgery and rehabilitation. Her recovery has been closely followed by fans and wrestling analysts alike, with many questioning whether she can reclaim her spot as one of WWE’s top stars. “She’s not even that good. Oh, she’s been handed everything,” Ashley says in the video, echoing criticisms often leveled at Flair due to her famous lineage as the daughter of wrestling legend Ric Flair.

Despite the doubts, Flair remains determined to silence her critics. Her training video showcases her intense physical preparation and mental resilience, signaling her readiness to return to the ring. “You’re gonna prove them wrong,” she declares in the video, a clear message to her detractors.

Flair’s potential return comes at a pivotal time for WWE, as the company continues to expand its women’s division. Her comeback could reignite rivalries and create new storylines, drawing fans back to the product. Whether she enters the Royal Rumble or makes her return at another event, all eyes will be on Charlotte Flair as she aims to reclaim her throne in 2025.
