WWE Superstar Charlotte Flair was backstage during Tuesday’s WWE NXT television broadcast at the Performance Center in Orlando, Florida.
Flair has been absent from WWE television since December 2023 due to a severe knee injury. She sustained the injury during a match against Asuka on the December 8, 2023, episode of SmackDown, where she tore her ACL, MCL, and meniscus.
Following surgery in January 2024, Flair has been focused on rehabilitation and has shared her recovery journey with fans through social media, often posting training videos and photos.

The 14-time World Champion shared a photo on social media alongside NXT Tag Team Champions Jakara Jackson and Lash Legend, captioned,
Some girls want to be a princess when they grow up, I wanted to be in a bad b**ch girl gang.”

This caption has sparked speculation among fans about the possibility of Flair leading a faction upon her return to WWE television. While Flair is widely recognized as a standout singles competitor, she was part of a faction during her early days in NXT over a decade ago.
Most wrestling fans know about the (unofficial) Four Horsewomen, but real ones remember the Beautiful, Fierce Females. In November 2013, Charlotte joined The BFFs alongside Sasha Banks and Summer Rae, turning heel after attacking her former tag team partner, Bayley. The BFFs became one of NXT’s most successful factions before disbanding when Summer Rae was called up to the main roster.
Though WWE has not officially announced when Charlotte Flair will return to television, her appearance at this week’s NXT broadcast suggests her return is imminent.
