WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair remains as outspoken as ever, but WWE may not be particularly happy with him sharing this update with fans. Last month, Charlotte Flair was forced to have surgery in order to fix her breast implants, and we haven't seen her on TV since June 22nd.
We've since heard mixed reports about how long The Queen will be sidelined, but Flair seems to believe she'll be gone for up to a year based on what he told The Wrestling Inc. Daily podcast.
"She’s fine, but this time she knows, and her personal physician and the company doctors have reinforced it, that she can’t hurry the process," Flair explained. "Otherwise, we’re going to be right back. With the stuff that she does, the moonsaults and the way she lands and taking knees and everything, she’s got to be a 100%. And she will be."
"So she’ll be fine just has to be patient and heal," he continued. "The rotator cuffs, you got to let those heal. You gotta let the knees [heal], and I got to remind her sometimes like Seth was off for a year. She’s likely out for a year. It’s not the end. You’ll come back."
If Charlotte is this beaten up, it seems likely that she will have to change her wrestling style upon returning to WWE, especially if those moonsaults are as problematic as her father indicates.
As always, we'll keep you guys updated.
