Charlotte Flair to bring back 20-time champion after 4 years on WWE RAW tonight? Chances explored

At last night's Royal Rumble, Charlotte Flair made her comeback to WWE for the first time since the December 8, 2023 edition of SmackDown, where she suffered an injury. Flair's return to the ring was marked with immense success as she won the 30-woman match.

To celebrate the same, The Queen will be making an appearance on tonight's episode of Monday Night RAW. While Flair is expected to come out on her own, there is a chance she could bring out a 20-time champion with her. Her father Ric Flair.

As per reports, Charlotte Flair's return to WWE will witness her take on a 'Top Girl' persona. The 14-time World Champion is expected to embrace and highlight her family legacy in this upcoming run with the Stamford-based promotion. Hence, it would make sense for Ric Flair to make his first appearance in the company for four years, to accompany his daughter when she celebrates tonight.

The 16-time World Champion's potential return might not necessarily indicate him taking up a managerial role, but instead coming out in support of his daughter. He could cut a promo in typical Ric Flair style and attempt to put The Queen over as she reportedly is set to embrace this Top Girl persona.

However, even if Ric decides to return to a managerial role, Charlotte could benefit a lot from his experience. After all, The Nature Boy is a 16-time World Champion, a former Intercontinental Champion, and a three-time WWE Tag Team Champion.
