Charlotte Flair shares subtle brag ahead of rumored WWE return

The WWE Universe is buzzing over Charlotte Flair this week after she provided sneak peeks at her recovery and a new look. The multi-time champion is expected to return soon, but no date has been confirmed. She just shared a blunt warning and new photos amid the return speculation.

The Queen has been out of action since suffering a torn ACL, MCL, and meniscus during the SmackDown loss to Asuka on December 8, 2023. Flair underwent surgery a few weeks after her last match and was expected to be on the shelf for around nine months, which would put her back as soon as the next few weeks. The 38-year-old recently signed a WWE contract extension, and while she's been gone, her husband Andrade returned to the company.

Flair revealed her new look earlier this week. The 17-time champion continues to show off her new look, but this time, she took to X to brag and boast about her greatness.

"I'm cut from a different cloth. And they don't make that fabric anymore," Charlotte Flair wrote with the photos below.

Flair was on SmackDown when she left in December, but due to her inactive status, she is not currently assigned to a brand on the company's website roster. Amid new rumors on her WWE future, it's believed Flair will stay on the blue brand with Andrade as officials often try to keep real-life couples on the same roster.

Charlotte Flair's return to impact rising WWE Superstar?

The Queen has been pushed to the top of the WWE women's division since she signed in 2012. While Flair has been recovering from surgery, Tiffany Stratton was brought up from NXT and is busy making her name on the main roster.

Stratton is also heavily pushed and is the current Ms. Money in the Bank. Speaking on Sportskeeda's The Wrestling Time Machine, Senior Editor Bill Apter wondered what impact The Queen's return might have on The Blonde Bombshell.

"Nothing wrong with any of the other ladies. I think Chelsea was very close, but in terms of marketing and viable for a match against one of the champions, it's gotta be her. She looked tremendous. She has got that athletic background. My question is, I don't know when this is gonna happen, but the women's division has changed so much. What's gonna happen in your opinion when Charlotte Flair clicks that button and says, 'I am ready to come back,'" Bill Apter said.

Stratton teamed with Nia Jax for a loss to Bayley and Naomi on last week's SmackDown. The former NXT Women's Champion recently made a big pitch for a new mid-card championship.
