Huge Charlotte Flair update: Return from injury, WWE plans and more

Charlotte Flair has been out of action for a long time due to a knee injury. New details have now come to light regarding her injury.

Charlotte Flair suffered a severe knee injury during her match against Asuka on the December 8, 2023, episode of SmackDown. It was reported at that time that The Queen had torn her ACL, MCL, and meniscus, and would be out of action for a considerable amount of time since she required surgery. Flair has not been seen on WWE TV since but she has kept fans updated regularly on her progress via social media. Fans have been wondering when she would make her return to the ring again.

Fightful Select is reporting that WWE talent are expecting Charlotte to return any time soon but they are unsure of the exact timeline. Many people expect her to return at the Royal Rumble but there is no confirmation of any plans yet.

It is also reported that there were creative plans for Charlotte last year although WWE never expected her to return to the ring in 2024. The Stamford-based promotion expected her to miss the entire year due to the extent of her injury.

It will be interesting to see whether Charlotte Flair will make her return from injury at the Royal Rumble 2025.
