Did Charlotte Flair leave WWE? The truth about her extended absence

Charlotte Flair is one of the top superstars in WWE. The former WWE Women’s Champion has been out of action for a long time now. Fans have been patiently waiting for her return to television. The Queen has been absent from TV since she suffered a torn ACL, MCL, and meniscus during her match against Asuka in December 2023.

Amid her extended absence, some fans are worried about Charlotte's WWE future and have been wondering if the second-generation superstar has left the Stamford-based promotion. Recent rumors claimed that the Triple H-led creative team was working on crafting the 38-year-old into the Nia Jax and Tiffany Stratton storyline and that she might return in November.

However, a report by Fightful Select stated that Flair would still need medical clearance, adding that there was no update regarding plans for her potential return. That said, she is still a part of the company. She signed a long-term contract with WWE in December 2023.

Charlotte has been actively providing updates on her status via social media posts. She keeps updating fans about her knee check-ups via her Instagram Stories.

Charlotte Flair talks about her devastating injury

During a recent appearance on the Forever Young podcast, Charlotte Flair revealed that her initial thought after getting injured was that her life was over.

The Queen admitted that it was upsetting for her to get injured, knowing her husband Andrade was on the verge of returning to the company.

"When it first happened, I thought my life was over. [laughs] I was like, 'Oh my gosh, a perfect storm!' My husband [Andrade] had just come back to the company or was on his way back. I knew he was gonna be debuting soon, and I just, from the moment I was taken out, I just have kept telling myself that I'm gonna come back the best version of The Queen,'' she said. [From 16:04]

It remains to be seen how long WWE fans will have to wait to see the former RAW Women's Champion back on television.
