Charlotte Flair is recognized as a 16-time world champion in WWE, which is the same number of world titles held by her father Ric Flair.
Charlotte has been sidelined since December 2023 with a knee injury, and it is unknown when she will return.
Appearing on Busted Open Radio, Ric commented on Charlotte's potential return and what it will mean for the business.
"It's time. John Cena doesn't want to break the record, he doesn't given a shit about that. John is in a different world now. Wrestling will always be his passion, but he doesn't care about beating (the record). I still think the biggest thing in the business, when it happens, it'll be a real game changer, just like she is in real life, is her breaking the title record or even tying it. I believe it's in the cards. I can look at the show and watch. It's a woman's world now and she's the best woman's wrestler alive. I think maybe this time off, as unfortunate as it was because of the severity of the injury, I think she's been able to look back and realize just how damn good she is. I guarantee, when she walks back in the door at whatever show, SmackDown or Raw, it's a game changer. I would bet $10,000 that the first match she wrestles, if it's a good opponent, would get a rating that will be the highest women's rating in a long time in a singles match," he said.
Ric noted that he doesn't know when Charlotte will return, and she won't tell him because she knows he'll spoil it.
Charlotte has been active on social media, posting about her recovery.
