Charlotte Flair is still recuperating from the ACL, MCL, and meniscus injury she suffered in December, which required surgery. The Queen is making a full recovery, and it is unclear when she will make her in-ring return to WWE.

Recently, Flair posted a video working at the Performance Center, bringing excitement to WWE fans about a comeback as early as SummerSlam this weekend. Even though she will likely not be cleared for in-ring action as early as Saturday, the multi-time women's champion could appear at the show in Cleveland, Ohio.

In this article, we look at three things she could do at SummerSlam.

#3. Charlotte Flair could provide an update on her status

A top AEW star just called one of his colleagues 'spoiled' and 'narcissistic' HERE.

This would make sense, clearly showing how long she will remain sidelined and when we should expect her to return to WWE.

Charlotte Flair could have a segment similar to the one John Cena had at Money in the Bank. For those unaware, he came to the ring and revealed his retirement plans, announcing a Farewell Tour in 2025.

Given that she wants to be cautious with her rehabilitation, we could assume that she will be back closer to the end of the year, likely for Crown Jewel (November 2) or Survivor Series (November 30).

#2. Confronting Rhea Ripley and reigning Women's World Champion Liv Morgan

Charlotte Flair was not part of the WWE Draft due to her injury. She is a free agent, meaning she can appear on RAW and SmackDown once she is back in action.

With that in mind, if she travels to Cleveland for SummerSlam, we could see her backstage for a confrontation with Rhea Ripley and reigning Women's World Champion Liv Morgan, who will have a title match at The Biggest Party of the Summer.

That way, once she is back from her injury, she could set the tone for a future feud. Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley have a lot of history, as Mami beat the Queen at WrestleMania 39 to become the new Women's World Champion.

#1. Coming to the aid of Bayley

Bayley could face an inconvenient situation this Saturday at SummerSlam when she competes against Queen of the Ring Nia Jax for the Women's Championship.

The reigning champion will have to focus on The Irresistible Force, but she will also have her sights set on Tiffany Stratton. Ms. Money in the Bank has made her presence felt over the past few weeks, and she could cash in at any time.

Thus, a cash-in at SummerSlam could take place, as Bayley and Jax will be vulnerable after the match. Meanwhile, Tiffany has sided with Nia, so we can see her at the ringside trying to distract Bayley.

As for Charlotte Flair, the likely scenario is that she will come to Bayley's aid and prevent Tiffany from cashing in her Money in the Bank briefcase, setting the stage for a feud with Stratton once she is back.
