Charlotte Flair's WWE return could be even bigger than a Royal Rumble win and WrestleMania 41 title match.

This is per WrestleVotes, who tweeted that;

Flair has been injured or absent for the bulk of the last two years, with her return promoted heavily on screen over the last few weeks. Various reports have suggested that she's set to take on Tiffany Stratton at WrestleMania 41, but wants to take the role as the babyface in the match. This could be the "sooner rather than later" part of the deal for Flair, or it could be even earlier than that if plans - as they often do - change.

Flair is the odds-on favourite to win Saturday's Royal Rumble, entering a match that doesn't have too many other advertised front-runners. She stands to make history if she wins, becoming the first female since the match's 2018 inception to win it twice. Flair was the victor in 2020 and went on to defeat NXT Champion Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania 36. They rematched at WrestleMania 39 in one of 2023's matches of the year and could yet go again in Las Vegas if the mooted Stratton plans don't go ahead.
