Charlotte Flair is gearing up for her much-anticipated WWE comeback, and it looks like she’ll be returning with a fresh moniker. Following an initial teaser, WWE aired another vignette on the January 24 episode of SmackDown, confirming that Flair will participate in the Royal Rumble on February 1. The video provided more insight into her mindset and road to recovery, fueling excitement among fans.
Adding to the speculation surrounding her return, WWE Shop has unveiled new merchandise for Flair. The t-shirt design prominently features an image of the Queen with the words “Top Girl” across her eyes. This suggests that “Top Girl” may be the latest nickname for the dominant WWE Superstar as she prepares to reclaim her place at the top of the division.
Flair has been out of action since December 8, 2023, when she suffered a devastating knee injury during a SmackDown match against Asuka. The 14-time world champion tore her ACL, MCL, and meniscus, requiring extensive surgery and rehabilitation. Since then, she has largely remained behind the scenes, occasionally sharing training updates on social media.
In recent weeks, however, Flair has dropped multiple hints about her return, including appearances alongside former and current WWE stars. Though she was recently seen backstage at NXT, her official return will be on WWE’s main roster.
With her sights set on making a statement at the Royal Rumble, Flair’s return promises to shake up the women’s division.
