Charlotte Flair had an emotional response when she discussed her return from injury at WWE Royal Rumble.
After being sidelined for over a year due to a torn ACL, MCL, and meniscus, Charlotte Flair returned at WWE Royal Rumble and won the Women’s Royal Rumble Match.
Charlotte Flair then opened up about her return when asked about her win at the WWE Royal Rumble Post-Show.
“I really don’t want to break down,” Charlotte Flair said. “So this was the longest I’ve been away from you guys and fans since I started in 2012, and I got into this business because of my little brother. When my knee injury happened in December and it took me out, I just kept thinking, ‘I can’t go out this way.’ Then it made me realize how far I’ve come, and I was doing it because of him.
“Then seeing all the fans keeping up with my injury updates throughout the year with rehab and like, ‘We miss you Charlotte, we love you Charlotte,’ as a performer, sometimes you do feel like, ‘Do I still got it? What am I coming back to do? I’ve done it all.’ Coming back tonight and winning the Rumble two times, it’s like no, I’m coming back to do it all over again. That’s how hungry I am. Little secret, when I came out tonight, I couldn’t get my robe off. I was like, good thing I remembered how to wrestle because I can’t get this robe off [laughs], it had been so long. So it felt great, thank you.”
