Charlotte Flair Reveals Why She’s Taking Time Off From WWE

Charlotte Flair has been one of WWE’s top stars for some time now, and The Queen had been having a great year in 2020.

She won the women’s Royal Rumble match, then went on to defeat Rhea Ripley for the NXT Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 36. But unfortunately for Charlotte, she dropped the title weeks ago, and it was later reported that she would be taking time off.

The Queen recently took to Twitter to explain that she is taking time off to undergo a plastic surgery operation related to her breast plants. Charlotte clarified that she does not have silicone poisoning, and that she will be back when she’s ready.

Charlotte Flair released the following statement via Twitter:

“My air conditioning is broken, and we have a little free time. These tweets may be spaced out a bit, but we’re going to talk time off, plastic surgery and boobs. The entire world having an opinion on the topic bothers me more than I care to let on, so we are going to discuss it.

I’m going to save the history of my boobs for a different bedtime story, so: Picture it. Charlotte, North Carolina, 2018. A young queen, shortly after a career defining Wrestlemania victory, finds herself sicker than sick at her brother’s house. A trip to the doctor tells us the likely culprit is silicone poisoning, and that my implant had been leaking for quite some time. It was one of the worse cases the doctor had seen.

At that time, I had a few options to fix the issue. Each option had a specific recovery time. I love this job more than anything, so I picked the option that allowed me to return the soonest. That was the choice I made.

Fast forward to a few months ago. Something felt off, so I went back to the doctor. Same issue again.

This time, I’m going with an option that I believe will solve the issue long time, even though the recovery period is a little longer than I would like.

To clarify: I do not have silicone poisoning this time. The surgery is cosmetic to fix an issue from a prior surgery

I’ll be back when I’m ready. The body will be rested, and the mind still focused on legacy. Focused on this job. Focused on being better. Always being better.”
