Top WWE Star Hoping For Babyface Turn In Future

WWE

A top heel WWE star has expressed her wish to turn babyface at some point in the future.

After over a year on the shelf due to a serious knee injury, Charlotte Flair made her return to WWE during the 2025 Women’s Royal Rumble match.

Entering at number 27, Flair last eliminated Roxanne Perez to earn her second Rumble win as well as a WWE Women’s Title shot against Tiffany Stratton.

Upon her return, WWE fans immediately rejected Flair as a babyface, forcing WWE to turn her heel heading into WrestleMania 41.

While Flair embraced the role, she revealed in a new interview with WrestleZone that she is still hoping to get the chance to turn face once again in the future, having enjoyed her time in the role prior to her knee injury.

Flair 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.

“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.

“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.”

After failing to dethrone Tiffany Stratton at WrestleMania 41 Flair has found little success in her path back to another title shot, failing to qualify for both the women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match and the Queen of the Ring semi-finals.
