by Charlotte Flair injured her knee during her match against Asuka on 12/8/2023 episode of SmackDown. WWE announced that she would be out of action for at least 9 months.
Ric Flair recently was on Busted Open Radio, where he provided update on Charlotte Flair’s injury. Ric Flair says Charlotte Flair is expected to return soon than expected.
“I was speaking with Dr. Dugas [of Andrews Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center] … You know what he said to me? He said since he’s been at the Andrews clinic, 30 years, [Charlotte] is one of the top three athletes that they have ever done surgery on. Now think about that. We’re talking [former NFL and MLB player] Bo Jackson. I can go down the list of people – the Tommy Johns.”
“He said, ‘We consider her one of the top three athletes, not wrestlers, to ever come through the doors.’ Her recovery, she is crushing it, guys. She’s not going to come back faster than they will ever recommend, but that’s unbelievable. I thought that might be one of the biggest compliments that anybody could ever get. It’s unfortunate that it had to come from a doctor in a hospital, but I keep telling people, she’s a different kind of cat.” (H/T: WrestlingInc)
