Charlotte Flair return vignette airs on WWE SmackDown
Charlotte Flair is on her way back to WWE, with a new vignette for her return from injury airing on Friday’s SmackDown.
Flair is making her comeback after missing more than a year of ring time due to a catastrophic knee injury and subsequent reconstructive surgery and rehab. On the December 8, 2023 SmackDown, Flair suffered a torn ACL, MCL, and meniscus in a match against Asuka. She underwent surgery in late December 2023, or early January 2024, posting about it on social media on January 4, 2024.
Friday’s return vignette included shots of Flair boarding a private jet, driving a Rolls Royce, lounging on a yacht, and wearing fur coats interspersed with highlights from her wrestling career.
A return date for Flair has yet to be announced. The upcoming Royal Rumble match on February 1 would be a logical conclusion, although to this point, no participants have been revealed for the women’s Rumble bout.
