Charlotte Flair has been out of action for almost a year now. The 14-time WWE Women's Champion suffered a torn ACL, MCL, and meniscus during a match against Asuka last year in December 2023. She later underwent surgery and since then has been out of action.
However, there has been speculation about her return ever since she began training again. Flair was expected to return at WWE SummerSlam in August, but that didn't happen. As RAW is moving to Netflix from next year, the return of The Queen has gained more steam. This article will discuss four ways the former WWE Women's Champion can make her return.
#1. Charlotte Flair can return and dethrone Nia Jax as Women's Champion
There are high chances of Flair returning and feuding with the current Women's Champion Nia Jax and then dethroning her. Jax even teased a rivalry with Flair in September when she said that there was no chance that Charlotte would take the title from her.

‘With Charlotte, she’s a 14-time women’s champion. She’s rehabbing faster after her ACL surgery, but I’ve been working hard for the last year, while she’s been sitting back and enjoying a little vacation. So if she thinks she’s coming back to take this title, I wish her all the luck, but it’s definitely not happening," Nia Jax said.
In Flair's absence, Nia Jax won the King and Queen of the Ring tournament earlier this year. She later defeated Bayley at SummerSlam to win the Women's Championship. The Queen can finally return and beat Nia Jax, reminding her that she is still the dominant player in WWE.
#2. Charlotte Flair can return to RAW on Netflix premiere
The Queen might also return on RAW next year when the red brand moves to Netflix. She might challenge Liv Morgan for the Women's World Championship as IYO SKY already has a match with Morgan on December 14 at Saturday Night's Main Event.
Further, Rhea Ripley might also not challenge Morgan for the time being. The Eradicator has already faced Morgan twice, and this leaves the spot open for Flair to challenge The Miracle Kid.
#3. Charlotte Flair could return as Jade Cragill's mystery attacker
Another tremendous booking for Charlotte would be her return as a heel. The Queen might emerge as Jade Cragill's mystery attacker. The former AEW star was assaulted by an unknown assailant on the November 22 edition of SmackDown.
While it has not been revealed who her attacker was, with the suspicion needle pointing at Bianca Belair, Naomi, and other superstars, Charlotte Flair can return and pull up a shocker by emerging as Jade's attacker. She could then feud with Belair unless Cargill returns, and once she does, the two can face off at WrestleMania 41.
#4. The Queen might return at WWE Royal Rumble next year
Royal Rumble returns have always been special, and WWE might have kept that booking for Charlotte Flair. The Queen can return to the grand event next year, win the tournament, and then challenge Nia Jax for the WWE Women's Championship.
She might then dethrone The Irresistible Force at WrestleMania 41 to win the championship. And who knows, Tiffany Stratton might come out to cash in her Money in the Bank contract on Flair. It now remains to be seen how Charlotte Flair's return is booked by the company.
