A major update has been shared by the former WWE Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair ahead of SummerSlam. On the December 8, 2024, episode of SmackDown, Flair faced Asuka in a high-stakes match. The bout took a dramatic turn when Bayley interfered, causing significant disruption and leading to Asuka’s victory. During this intense encounter, Flair sustained a severe knee injury.
Following medical evaluations, it was revealed that Flair tore her ACL, MCL, and meniscus. Furthermore, WWE announced that she required immediate surgery, and due to the extent of the damage and the necessary recovery time, Flair will be out of action for approximately nine months.
While Flair has been consistently updating fans on her rehabilitation progress, she has also made notable appearances despite her injury. Earlier this year, she was spotted at the Royal Rumble. Flair’s real-life husband, Andrade, made his return to WWE after a three-year absence. She was seen backstage with Andrade supporting him as he made his grand comeback to the WWE. In April, Flair made an appearance at WWE World in Philadelphia, where she engaged with the fans.
With Charlotte Flair nearing eight months out of action, she recently provided a major update on her recovery. This update has sparked speculation about whether she might be poised for a surprise return this weekend at WWE SummerSlam.
