WWE aired a Charlotte Flair vignette on the latest SmackDown, signaling her return after knee injury. Industry veteran Jonathan Coachman commented on the possible timing of her return. During the Behind The Turnbuckle: The Last Word podcast, Coachman made his prediction:
Charlotte Flair, they’ve been advertising her return. It will probably be at the Royal Rumble. She’s been out for a long time. It was a serious injury.
Flair has been sidelined since December 2023, when she suffered multiple knee injuries during a match against Asuka on SmackDown. The wrestler has been sharing videos of her recovery process on social media.
The Royal Rumble is scheduled for February 1, 2025.
