Charlotte Flair Status Update, When the Injury Happened, Why Surgery Was Delayed


As noted, Charlotte Flair will be undergoing surgery to repair a ruptured breast implant soon.

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that the implant was ruptured before WrestleMania 34 but Flair didn't want to miss the match with Asuka. WWE officials wanted her to work with Carmella at Backlash and then she wanted to work the European tour that kicked off this week because of what the tour pays.

Flair is looking to undergo the operation after the two-week tour so she doesn't miss SummerSlam. The Observer adds that she will be out of action for a few weeks after the surgery. Flair is currently scheduled to compete in the women's Money In the Bank ladder match on June 18th but they could shoot an angle to remove her from the match.

Flair has tried to keep the accident hidden and even had photographers shoot around it during a photo shoot for ESPN's "The Body" issue.
