"Why did Triple H do this?" - Twitter reacts to current champion showing up on WWE NXT after nearly 3 years

Prior to taking over the creative duties for the WWE main roster shows, Triple H was responsible for booking NXT. On the most recent NXT Premium Live Event, current SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair made a return after nearly three years.

Charlotte Flair was one of the Four Horsewomen of the women's wrestling revolution alongside Sasha Banks, Bayley, and Becky Lynch. Before achieving grand success on the main roster, these four women redefined women's wrestling in the Black and Gold brand under Triple H's tutelage.

With the Game getting promoted to the main roster responsibilities, Shawn Michaels is in charge of NXT. The Heart Break Kid presented the NXT Vengeance Day Premium Live Event, and the show kicked off with a promo involving Charlotte Flair.

The Queen was in the WWE Performance Center. She put over the NXT roster before previewing the matches. The six-time RAW Women's Champion put over the likes of Bron Breakker, Grayson Waller, Roxanne Perez, Toxic Attraction, and Pretty Deadly among others.

The video package was met with a mixed response from fans. Many enjoyed the fact that one of the biggest NXT legends made a reappearance on a big show.

Charlotte Flair will face a familiar foe at WWE WrestleMania 39

Charlotte Flair is a two-time NXT Women's Champion. She won the 2020 Women's Royal Rumble and challenged then NXT Women's Champion Rhea Ripley to a match at the Showcase of the Immortals.

The Queen showed up at NXT TakeOver: Portland to officially start her feud with The Eradicator. At WrestleMania 36, the seven-time SmackDown Women's Champion defeated the Australian star via submission to capture her second NXT Women's Championship.

She lost the title to Io Shirai at NXT TakeOver: In Your House on June 7 in a triple threat match which also involved Rhea Ripley. In 2021, Rhea Ripley and Charlotte Flair were involved in a feud for the RAW Women's Championship. At SummerSlam 2021, Charlotte emerged victorious yet again as she dethroned The Nightmare.

Rhea Ripley won the 2023 Women's Royal Rumble and challenged Charlotte Flair on WWE RAW to a match for the SmackDown Women's Championship at WrestleMania 39. They will become the first women in history to have a WrestleMania rematch.
