New Update on Charlotte Flair's Knee Injury Surfaces  

Charlotte fell from the top rope during her match with Asuka, her leg twisting in an unusual position. Despite the challenges, she led the contest until Bayley interfered and cost her the victory. To get backstage, she had to be helped out of the ring.

WWE Superstar Charlotte Flair has a ruptured ACL, MCL, and meniscus, according to Mike Johnson of PWInsider. The injury happened during a fall from the top rope and necessitated rapid medical evaluation and treatment. She will be out of action for nine months. 

During last Friday's SmackDown, WWE announced the nine-month recovery period, discussing Charlotte's knee injury in the course of action. Beyond her absence, the extent of her troubles was not revealed on the show.

Another theory holds that Flair sustained a strained neck in the fall. However, this has not been confirmed.
