Charlotte Flair appears to fire subtle shot at WWE amid injury hiatus

Charlotte Flair seemingly fired a subtle shot at WWE during her hiatus from the company today on social media. Flair has been out of action since December 2023.

The veteran tore her ACL, MCL, and meniscus in a singles match against Damage CTRL's Asuka last December and has not returned to the ring since the injury. The Empress of Tomorrow is also currently sidelined with a knee injury and has not wrestled since WWE Backlash in May.

Flair took to social media amid her hiatus to share a new photo, along with a message seemingly taking a shot at the promotion. She noted that she has a vibe "they" can't replace, as seen in her post below.

"The vibe they can’t replace— 💅🏼," she wrote.

Charlotte Flair is a 14-time Women's Champion and has also held the Women's Tag Team Championship once with Asuka. She is married to WWE Speed Champion Andrade in real life.

Major WWE star sends warning to Charlotte Flair ahead of her return to the ring

Rhea Ripley recently delivered a warning to Charlotte Flair ahead of the former champion's return to action. Ripley defeated Flair at WrestleMania 39 in Los Angeles to capture the SmackDown Women's Championship.

The Eradicator is currently involved in a rivalry with Women's World Champion Liv Morgan and The Judgment Day on RAW. The 28-year-old used to be a member of The Judgment Day, but the faction betrayed her earlier this year at SummerSlam.

In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling, Ripley sent a warning to Flair during her hiatus. She noted that she defeated the 38-year-old at WrestleMania last year and vowed to do it again when she returned to action.

"Good luck. Mami is bigger and better than ever, and I beat you at WrestleMania 39, so you best believe that I can do it again. I love you, Princess. Get back and be safe because Mami's gonna put you back down," said Ripley. [2:09 – 2:23]
