Charlotte Flair has been absent since the December 8 episode of SmackDown due to an ACL, MCL, and meniscus tear. Flair recently underwent surgery, and she has now provided a major health update to the WWE universe.
Charlotte Flair, who began 2023 as the SmackDown Women’s Champion, clashed with Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania 39, losing in a great bout. After the loss, Flair took time off, eventually returning to SmackDown and engaging in a feud with the Damage CTRL faction. Following her triumph in the Survivor Series: WarGames match, she faced Asuka in a SmackDown match. Unfortunately, during this bout, Flair sustained an injury that is likely to sideline her for most of 2024, including WrestleMania.
In a surprising turn of events, Flair shared a video on her Instagram story, showcasing her return to training merely two weeks post-surgery, an impressive feat for any individual. The relentless dedication to her recovery is evident in this astonishing video shared with her followers.
Check out the video below:
With an estimated nine-month recovery period, Flair appears poised to make a comeback by the year’s end or early next year.
Charlotte Flair to stay with WWE for the coming years
Charlotte Flair recently suffered a major injury, keeping her out of action for a significant part of 2024. However, fans of Flair can rejoice, as they will be able to see her for years to come.
Last month, it was reported by Fightful Select that Charlotte Flair renewed her contract with WWE. Flair’s contract extension was the first deal post-TKO merger, which happened in September. The new deal solidifies her status as WWE’s highest-paid female star.
It also marks one of the highest-paid deals for a woman in WWE history. Interestingly, Flair’s agreement reportedly includes the added perk of a travel bus, which is becoming a growing trend among wrestlers. It looks like fans can enjoy Flair’s performances for years to come.
