• Why Charlotte Flair’s Recent Babyface Run Didn’t Last Long
Charlotte Flair is currently one of WWE’s top villains, but she hopes to be a fan-favorite again one day. After returning from a serious knee injury, Flair won the 2025 Women’s Royal Rumble. However, WWE quickly turned her heel after fans didn’t connect with her as a ‘good guy’. During a recent interview with WrestleZone, Flair shared how much she enjoyed her time as a babyface before her injury. She said, “Before I got injured, I was really in a groove being a good guy. I really enjoyed it, I was really getting that ‘good guy reaction’ on live events. And it was like the first time in my career that I felt like comfortable as a good guy. I just went with it, I loved it and I was digging it.”
Charlotte also explained that the way she returned made it difficult for fans to get behind her. “Then I got hurt and when I came back, and how I came back, obviously winning the Rumble twice isn’t like, and I don’t mean this in a bad way, but you don’t want the Yankees to always win, you know what I mean? So that is harder to gain that sympathy, that good guy feel,” she added.
Despite this, Charlotte Flair hopes to transition back to being a babyface eventually. She enjoys interacting with younger fans and looks forward to being a hero again in WWE.
