It’s been a long year without “The Queen” in the WWE spotlight, but the wait for Charlotte Flair’s return might finally be over. Flair, a 14-time women’s world champion, has been sidelined since December 2023 after sustaining severe knee injuries—tearing her ACL, MCL, and meniscus—during a match against Asuka on WWE SmackDown. Initially given a nine-month recovery timeline, fans have been eagerly anticipating her comeback, especially after Charlotte posted a cryptic teaser on her X account last month.
Now, according to a promising update from WrestleVotes, Flair’s return could be happening sooner than expected:
“Sources indicate that Charlotte Flair’s return is imminent, with the possibility of it happening as soon as this weekend on NBC. We are told creative was tasked earlier this week with structuring the presentation of her return.”
This weekend’s Saturday Night’s Main Event on NBC seems like the perfect stage for such a monumental return. While the show hasn’t been overtly promoted as a nostalgia-driven event, there’s plenty of buzz surrounding the lineup and potential surprises.
Here’s what fans can look forward to:
- Jesse “The Body” Ventura is set to return to the WWE commentary team for one night only.
- The iconic winged-eagle WWE Championship design, famously carried by legends like Hulk Hogan and Bret Hart, has been teased as a possible return for Cody Rhodes.
- The crowning of the first-ever Women’s United States Champion, with the tournament finalists being decided on this week’s SmackDown.
- Major title matches, including defenses of the Women’s World Championship, the World Heavyweight Championship, and the Undisputed WWE Championship.
Charlotte Flair making her comeback during Saturday Night’s Main Event would add yet another layer of excitement to an already stacked night. Given the show’s legacy and Flair’s lineage, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Ric Flair accompany his daughter for her return, creating a special multi-generational moment.
As one of WWE’s biggest stars, Charlotte’s return is a game-changer for the women’s division. With WrestleMania season looming closer, her comeback could shake up championship plans and set the stage for blockbuster rivalries. Whether she appears this weekend or shortly after, the wrestling world is ready to welcome “The Queen” back to her throne.
Keep an eye on Saturday Night’s Main Event this weekend for what could be an unforgettable night in WWE history!
