Despite her current role as one of the top heels in WWE, Charlotte Flair is hoping to one day return to being a babyface. Flair, who returned from a major knee injury to win the 2025 Women’s Royal Rumble, was quickly turned heel by the company after fans rejected her as a “good guy.”
In a new interview with WrestleZone, Flair explained that she was enjoying her previous babyface run before the injury.
“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,” Flair said. “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.”
She acknowledged that the nature of her return, winning the Royal Rumble for a second time, 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 explained.
Still, she hopes to transition back to a babyface role in the future, citing her enjoyment of interacting with younger fans.
