Charlotte Flair looks to have suffered a painful knee injury on this week’s episode of WWE SmackDown.
Flair faced off against Asuka in a singles match and appeared to have been hurt during the commercial break.
When the show returned from the break, Charlotte was seen in a lot of distress when being analysed by referee Charles Robinson. They ended the match quickly, with Asuka winning via a roll-up due to Bayley’s interference.
Following the match, Charlotte was helped to the back by WWE’s medical staff. It is said that the injury occurred as Flair was setting up for a move but slipped and was caught on the ropes. She wound up hitting her head and causing an injury to her knee. Unfortunately, when trying to complete the figure 8, she failed to do so.
We all wish Charlotte Flair a speedy recovery.
Update – WWE have officially announced that Charlotte Flair will be out for 9 months after suffering the injury on Raw last week.
