Charlotte Flair didn’t just make a triumphant return to WWE—she made sure it looked exactly how she wanted it. According to Ric Flair, every detail of Charlotte’s comeback vignettes, from the private jet shots to the intense training montages, was all her vision.
Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Ric revealed that his daughter took full control of her return presentation. “All those skits with the airplane and all that stuff, that was all her. All her dialogue. The one where she’s running and training and putting her knee brace on. That’s all her. She thought of all of that and she’s been waiting, chomping at the bit, to get back.”
Charlotte had been out of action since December 2023 with a knee injury, but she didn’t just sit back and wait for WWE to script her return—she built it herself. The vignettes showcased her luxurious lifestyle while also emphasizing her grit and determination to reclaim her spot at the top.
Her return at Royal Rumble 2025 was the ultimate payoff, with Charlotte winning the women’s Rumble match and securing her shot at the WWE Women’s Championship against Tiffany Stratton at WrestleMania 41.
Ric also made it clear that Charlotte isn’t slowing down anytime soon. “Now that she is back, she’s not taking a day off. She’s working even harder.”
With WrestleMania on the horizon, Charlotte’s comeback story is far from over. But will her creative control extend into her championship chase?
