WWE Superstars put their bodies on the line every time they step in the ring. Sadly, now a top Superstar seems to be out of action, but it’s unknown how long that hiatus will last for Charlotte Flair.
On the December 8th episode of WWE SmackDown, Charlotte Flair faced Asuka in a singles showdown. With Damage CTRL ringside, the battle was intense, but in the end, The Queen fell short against The Empress of Tomorrow.
What followed raised concerns among fans and WWE talent alike. Reports started circulating that Charlotte Flair might have sustained an injury during the match. In a distressing moment, she was seen clutching her knee and crying out, “My knee!” Medical personnel rushed to her side after the match, adding to the apprehension surrounding her condition.
