Charlotte Flair is on her way back to WWE after a long injury layoff and it seems she’s returning with a brand new nickname.

During the December 8, 2023 edition of SmackDown, things fell apart for Charlotte Flair. During a match against Asuka, the star suffered a torn ACL, MCL, and meniscus, and unsurprisingly, the major damage required surgery.

While recovering, Flair has largely stayed out of the spotlight, only occasionally uploading training clips, giving hints at her progress.

However, in recent weeks the star has appeared to drop several teases about her impending return, while she’s been pictured working out with several former and current WWE Superstars. Charlotte Flair teased a new gang when she was backstage at NXT, but her return will definitely be on the main roster.

Charlotte Flair’s On Top In WWE

One week after a vignette aired featuring Flair, another one aired on the January 24 edition of SmackDown that gave more detail. This video featured Flair discussing her return to the ring and revealing that she will be part of the Royal Rumble on February 1.

Now WWE Shop has showcased new merchandise for Flair as she gets ready to make her big comeback. The t-shirt features a picture of Charlotte Flair with the words “Top Girl” written across Flair’s eyes, indicating this could be a new moniker for the 14-time world champion.
