• Charlotte Flair is currently out of action with a torn ACL, MCL, and meniscus.
In June, she posted the following about her recovery:
“Today, was my first biodex (isokinetic training) test! I needed to be in the 40 percent or less deficit for strength compared to my non surgical leg…
I had 20 percent or less quad strength and in some of the measurements I was stronger in my surgical leg…
I MISS YOU GUYS & can’t wait to lace my boots again!”
In an update, PWNexus is reporting that Charlotte is set to get cleared to return to in-ring action by November, and she’s expected to return to the SmackDown brand.
