It’s always unfortunate when a wrestler is sidelined due to injury which is something Charlotte Flair knows all too well. Back in December of 2023, Flair suffered a torn ACL, MCL, and meniscus during a match with Asuka on SmackDown, and she’s been out of action ever since.
The Queen opened up about her reaction to the injury on the Forever Young Podcast and she noted that she thought her life was over when the injury first happened.
“When it first happened, I thought my life was over. I was like, ‘oh my gosh, a perfect storm’. My husband had just come back to the company or was on his way back. I knew he was going to be debuting soon. From the moment I was taken out, I just have kept telling myself that I’m going to come back the best version of the Queen when I do come back, and you never like to be sidelined due to an injury.”
Charlotte Flair went on to add that her injury has been a mixed blessing while talking about some of the perspective she’s gained while being out of action.
“But then again, I’m not sure if I would have ever sidelined myself had it not been for the injury. So it’s been a challenge, but a challenge I know that’s going to make me in the long run because I’ve had the opportunity over these, I think it’s been like nine, eight months now to go back and see things that I would have done over. What can I do over? Look at the landscape of the division and try to figure out where I can add character layers when I come back.”
