WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair has addressed missing a recent WWE TV event.
If you recall, the sports entertainment company had announced that Flair suffered an undisclosed injury and was pulled from her non-title match against Natalya on last week’s episode of SmackDown Live. This would’ve been a rematch.
She was also scheduled to team with Bobby Roode against Finn Balor and Sasha Banks on Mixed Match Challenge but wasn’t be able to compete on the show and thus, Becky Lynch replaced her.
It was later revealed that Flair underwent minor dental surgery due to a mouth infection.
Flair is slated to return to show of the blue brand this week as well as the Mixed Match Challenge for the finals as she and Bobby Roode face Asuka and WWE Intercontinental Champion The Miz.
Flair, who is slated to defend her Smackdown Women’s Championship against Asuka at WrestleMania 34, recently did an interview with Barstool Sports. During the interview, she addressed her recent injury. Here is what she had to say:
“I’m good. They just kept me off TV because it was so swollen and I was talking funny from the stitches. They cleared me to wrestle, but I just looked a mess. So, I’ll be back next week.”
