On this week’s episode of SmackDown, WWE broke the news to the fans that Charlotte Flair will be out of the ring for almost 9 months. While at first many thought of it as kayfabe for storyline purposes, the injury, unfortunately, is real. On last week’s episode of SmackDown, fans witnessed The Queen going off against Asuka in a singles match. Hours after the news came out, the details of her injury have been made public. And things are not looking great for Flair.
Details about Charlotte Flair’s injury
According to a report by PW Insider, the details of her injury have finally been shared with her fans. It was rumored that she might have suffered an ACL tear. However, the injury might be way worse than that. It is reported that the injury is “likely worse” than just an ACL tear. Along with that, FLair has suffered a myriad of injuries on the same knee. However, sources have decided not to elaborate on the additional knee injuries suffered by her.
Along with that, there are some positive updates. It has been stated that the 37-year-old star is set to go under the knife around the holiday season. The surgery is scheduled in the upcoming weeks while Flair might be resting until then.
The injury occurred on the 12/8 episode of SmackDown. While Flair was on one of the turnbuckles to attack Damage CTRL’s Asuka, she lost control and landed an injury. Following this, WWE made an official announcement this week that the 14-time World Champion will be out of action for almost 9 months.
This means that she will be missing out on the upcoming Royal Rumble 2024 which is scheduled for January 27, 2024, in Tampa Bay Florida. She will also be missing out on WrestleMania 40, which is the promotion’s biggest annual premium live event. Following the announcement by WWE, Flair took to X (formerly Twitter) to share how devasted she was after the news broke out.
Currently, Flair is involved in a storyline with the Damage CTRL. The former Women’s Champion had formed an alliance with Bianca Belair and Shotzi to take down the heel stable. She was even present at the 2023 Survivor Series, where she called in her friend Becky Lynch to take down the faction at the main event. It would be interesting to see how the storyline involving Flair and Damage CTRL will change following this announcement. Do you think Flair will return soon to claim her rightful spot as The Queen?
