Charlotte Flair is back on the sidelines of WWE after missing most of 2022 due to a wedding in May and then dental troubles. She returned to SmackDown on December 30th, where she won the SmackDown Women’s Title.
Flair was defeated by Rhea Ripley for the WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 39 last month. Following the match, it was speculated that Flair might compete in a bodybuilding competition this summer.
As previously reported, Flair informed the company before WrestleMania that she would be taking time off. It was assumed that she and her husband, Andrade, would travel while on vacation at the time. It was later revealed that Charlotte will compete in the American Cornhole League’s third preliminary round for the Johnsonville SuperHole Series IV.
Flair discussed the company’s acquisition by the Endeavour Group and her recent absence from WWE with Boardroom.
“For me, I went from having never any off-days to getting injured last year after WrestleMania and being off for seven months, and then now off again for a couple weeks for something that I needed to take care of, so it’s a blessing and a curse. Like, no one wants to be injured, but having that first time off for that extended amount of time, I think was definitely healthy for my mindset.”
Uncertainty surrounds the length of her WWE break.
