It’s been five months since Charlotte Flair sustained a devastating trio of injuries on “WWE SmackDown,” including a torn ACL, MCL, and meniscus. Initially, WWE projected that Flair could be out of action for upwards of nine months. However, Flair’s relentless dedication to rehabilitation has her poised for an earlier return than expected, leading WWE Hall of Famers Mark Henry and Bully Ray to discuss their hopes for her comeback on a recent episode of “Busted Open Radio.”
Charlotte Flair’s Confidence and Expected Comeback
Mark Henry, who has seen his fair share of incredible athletes, believes Flair’s return will be marked by a declaration of her dominance in the women’s division. Reflecting on her personality and attitude, Henry shared his expectations for Flair’s return promo, suggesting that she will come back with the same confidence that has made her one of the best in the business. Henry stated, “[Flair] cut that promo [a year ago] and I tell my son and my daughter, I want y’all to wake up in the morning, look in the mirror, and have that confidence. ‘I’m the best. Nobody better than me. If you better than me, I’m going to get you. I’m going to be working hard to get you.’ That’s Charlotte. Charlotte knows she’s the best. She wakes up and she’s the best.”
Henry also mentioned the potential of Jade Cargill and Tiffany Stratton learning from Flair’s experience and skill, pointing to the anticipation surrounding Flair’s eventual return to the ring.
