"During the Friday Night SmackDown broadcasts on the USA Network, Charlotte Flair's injury, which occurred last week, has been publicly confirmed.
After several days of concern from fans, WWE has provided a new update regarding the damage suffered by the American professional wrestler in Providence, Rhode Island. The company presented to the audience the previously untelevised moment from seven days ago when The Queen lost her balance and fell from the third rope.
Due to the damage sustained to her knee, Charlotte Flair has been projected to be absent for nine months. Details of a possible surgery have not been provided yet, although The Queen's time away could be an indication of a potential surgical process in the near future. More details are expected to be revealed in the coming days.
Charlotte Flair suffered this injury on December 8th during her match against Asuka. The wrestler slipped in the corner and fell awkwardly into the ropes, hitting her leg and head in the process. The incident took place during a commercial break.
As soon as she was taken backstage, The Queen received immediate medical assistance. Several company workers informed PWInsider that Charlotte Flair was pulled from the House Shows held this weekend in Utica and State College, stating that they were dealing with a possible 'high severity injury.'"
