Charlotte Flair Reveals Her Initial Reaction To Career-Threatening Injury

Multi-time WWE Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair thought that her life was over after she suffered severe injuries last year. “The Queen” has been away from the programming since suffering a significant knee injury including tears to her ACL, MCL, and meniscus last year.

Charlotte Flair recently joined in for an interview on the Forever Young Podcast with Dr. John Layke and Dr. Payman Danielpour. She opened up on the injury and her recovery process. The former WWE Women’s Champion is determined to recuperate and bring back the best version of herself. She said:

“I thought my life was over. My husband [Andrade] had just come back to the company or was on his way back. I knew he was going to be debuting soon. From the moment I was taken out, I just have kept telling myself that I’m going to come back the best version of the Queen when I do come back.”

‘The Queen’ is using the injury hiatus to her advantage as she is scouting the present wrestling landscape to add more layers to her character when she is back. Flair explained:

“It’s been a challenge, but a challenge I know that’s going to make me better in the long run because I’ve had the opportunity over these, I think it’s been like nine, eight months now to go back and see things that I would have done over. What can I do over? Look at the landscape of the division and try to figure out where I can add character layers when I come back.”

During the conversation, she was asked how long until she returns. However, Flair remained tight-lipped and said that she wants fans to get surprised when she makes her comeback.

The daughter of legendary wrestler Ric Flair, is quite active on her social media and shares footage of her in-ring training. She previously dropped a clip of running the ropes and doing a series of rolls.

There is a belief that there is still some time left before she returns to the ring as the injuries that she sustained last year were severe. She is likely to miss the remainder of the year and could be back next year.
