Shotzi has been out of action since mid-February, when she suffered an ACL injury. She got injured during a match against Lyra Valkyria on the February 13 episode of NXT and was ruled out of her qualifying match against Tiffany Stratton on SmackDown ahead of the Elimination Chamber Premium Live Event.

She is expected to be out for nine months and make a full recovery, thus a return should take place in November.

One-half of The Viking Raiders, Erik, has been sidelined since September 2023, when he had his C6 and C7 neck fusion surgery. The injury was serious, and there is no timetable for his return. His last match took place on the September 15 episode of SmackDown against The Alpha Academy.

According to his tag team partner, Ivar, Erik has progressed well with his recovery, but he needs to be cautious with his comeback. He could return to action soon, though.

The fourth member of Damage CTRL got injured last week following a backstage assault by Sonya Deville, Shayna Baszler, and Zoey Stark.

It appears that she has suffered a torn meniscus in her left knee and will undergo surgery that will keep her out for eight to ten weeks. Thus, a return should take place at some point in late October - early November.

#2. Charlotte Flair

Charlotte Flair has been out since December 2023, when she suffered a torn ACL, MCL, and meniscus during her match against Asuka. She had surgery and was set to make a full recovery, which would last for nine months up to a year.

She was in no rush to return to avoid re-aggravating the injury, so fans should expect her to return in the last part of 2024 (September onwards).

#1. WWE Superstar Seth Rollins

Seth Rollins has been out indefinitely after a brutal assault from Bronson Reed on RAW. He was hospitalized and now has to recover from a broken rib injury.

There is no update on a return timeline, but the promotion could keep him out long enough to fully recover before coming back to confront CM Punk.
