WWE reportedly planning major return for RAW’s Netflix debut

Former Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair’s recovery progress sparks speculation about potential appearance at streaming platform premiere.

Charlotte Flair’s absence from WWE competition since December 2023 could end at RAW’s Netflix debut. The 14-time Women’s Champion has been sidelined with knee injuries sustained during a match against Asuka on SmackDown.

Peter Rosenberg shared his thoughts about Flair’s potential return during an appearance on the ZASLOW SHOW 2.0:

I wonder if on January 6th we’ll have some real surprises and if Charlotte would be one of them? (…) I’m sure she’ll be on the show. I mean, I’m guessing. She’s been gone for so long. She’s been posting videos looking great for months. It has to be now, right?

Flair has maintained a presence on social media throughout her recovery, sharing training updates and rehabilitation progress following injuries to her ACL, MCL, and meniscus.

Signs point to Charlotte Flair’s imminent WWE return

Recent developments suggest Charlotte Flair is preparing for her in-ring comeback. Reports indicate her return could materialize between RAW’s Netflix premiere on January 6 and the Royal Rumble on February 1.

The PWInsider reported Flair’s presence at WWE headquarters for a photo shoot and logistical work, suggesting preparations for her reintegration into storylines.

She recently highlighted her training partner, NXT’s Lainey Reed, in a social media post showcasing her ring readiness progress.
