Charlotte Flair sustained a major injury during her singles match against Damage CTRL's Asuka on the Tribute to the Troops edition of SmackDown on December 8. Now we've gotten an update on the timetable for her return.

According to a report from PWInsider, Charlotte Flair is scheduled to undergo knee surgery in early January. WWE has projected a nine-month recovery period for Flair, suggesting that her return to the ring may not be until at least October next year.

The injury occurred when Flair tried to execute her signature moonsault outside the ring toward Asuka. The match ended abruptly following interference by Bayley, resulting in Flair's defeat. Unfortunately, Flair sustained multiple knee injuries during the spot, including tears to her ACL, MCL, and meniscus.

This unfortunate development means that Charlotte Flair will miss WrestleMania 40 scheduled for April 6-7, 2024, at the Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Additionally, her absence may extend to events such as Summerslam, Backlash France, and Bash In Berlin. The given timetable means that Flair may be able to make a comeback around the time of Fastlane and Crown Jewel.

Charlotte Flair recently agreed to a contract extension with WWE, reportedly securing her stay with the company for several years. While specific details about the duration and terms of the deal remain a secret, reports suggest a substantial increase in compensation.

This marks Flair's new deal one of the most lucrative contracts for a female wrestler in WWE history. As part of the agreement, Flair is set to receive a travel bus, a privilege previously granted to big names like Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes within the company.
