17-time WWE champion is "ready to f***ing make a return" following injury, says Kevin Nash

WWE has been building some top storylines for its current champions since SummerSlam. Kevin Nash believes that a recently crowned champion could be in trouble as an injured star is now ready to make a return. This would be The Queen Charlotte Flair, who has been out of action since December last year.

Nia Jax won the WWE Women’s Championship from Bayley at SummerSlam earlier this month. The high-profile match allowed Jax to win a top title after a long wait. Meanwhile, the most decorated active female WWE Superstar Charlotte is silently watching from the sidelines, while she is on a hiatus, recovering from her injuries.

In a recent episode of the Kliq This podcast, Kevin Nash spoke about how no one came across as a believable challenger for Nia Jax. He also spoke about how she was the female version of 'Andre the Giant' in the locker room.

"Nia Jax is a version of Andre the Giant," Nash said. "She's just a beautiful... Facially, she's the beautiful Andre the Giant. She's such a beautiful girl. Every time I see her, I'm just like 'Wow, she's just...' Her face is just... But, she's so f*****g much bigger, it's just like... F*****g Bayley, Bayley did great s**t. And Bayley f*****g can work, and Bayley's over, it's just that... It's not believable."

When asked about a potential challenger for her, Nash revealed that Charlotte Flair was getting closer to making a return. He added that The Queen would be the perfect challenger for The Irresistible Force.

"Charlotte Flair, at 5'10, probably is your best bet against her," Nash said. "I saw Charlotte back at the Performance Center with her knee brace on. She's getting ready to f*****g make a return." [H/T - Wrestling Inc.]

WWE will be in no hurry to rush Flair back to the ring as they would want her enough time to fully recover from her injury. They could also hold her back for some time to give Nia Jax a good run with the title before bringing in Charlotte Flair on The Road to WrestleMania.

Becky Lynch's exit will put more pressure on Charlotte Flair in WWE

Becky Lynch was one of the top women in WWE who did a lot to elevate the female division. She decided to step back from the ring once her contract expired earlier this year, and it’s unclear if and when she will return to the Stamford-based promotion.

Charlotte Flair and Bayley are now the only two veterans left on the main roster who were once part of NXT’s Four Horsewomen. They have to carry the division forward without Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks’ assistance now.

Some fans feel Flair was capable enough of carrying the entire division herself, and the creative team will be looking forward to her return. She could also break John Cena and Ric Flair’s record for most world title wins next year at a time when The Greatest of All Time is capping off his retirement tour.
