Charlotte Flair, who won the 2025 Women’s Royal Rumble, recently opened up about her current heel run and her desire to return to being a fan-favorite.
Speaking to WrestleZone.com during WrestleMania 41 week, Flair reflected on her pre-injury run and the positive reactions she was receiving before turning heel to feud with then-Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton.
“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.”
Flair noted that her heel turn following her Rumble win—her second Royal Rumble victory—shifted the audience perception:
“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.”
Despite her current persona, Flair said she still hopes to turn face again in the future:
“But I do hope later down the road that I can transition back into that because I really do enjoy seeing the kids, and that’s what it’s all about, right? It’s the fan interaction, and if it wasn’t for you guys, we’d be out of business.”
