Charlotte Flair's WWE Comeback Date Revealed—Here's What She Said

Charlotte Flair, a 14-time champion, has been out of action for over a year after injuring her knee in a tough match against Asuka. Fans have been eagerly waiting for news about her return, with rumors swirling around WWE events.

However, it wasn’t until last night’s Smackdown that Charlotte finally confirmed her comeback—she’ll return at February’s biggest event, the Royal Rumble.

The Royal Rumble is just around the corner, with only one week to go. Fans have been expecting Charlotte Flair’s return, especially after seeing her updates on social media. To everyone’s surprise, during this week’s Friday Night SmackDown, Charlotte officially announced she would return at the 2025 Royal Rumble on February 1.

The big reveal was made in a video that aired on SmackDown on January 24. In the video, Charlotte boldly said, “I don’t need to tell people that I’m The GOAT. They already know.”
