Charlotte Flair continues her medical rehabilitation to return to action. The WWE superstar fell victim to a serious injury during her final match on Friday Night SmackDown in 2023. Further details on her injury concerns surfaced paving the way for increasing concern from fans and the WWE hierarchies. Flair suffered an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, a torn meniscus, and medial collateral ligament (MCL) damage. Flair underwent surgery to solve the problem. Since then, she has not stopped exercising to be ready again as soon as possible.
The Queen has not lost contact with fans, posting several videos on her social networks in which one can see the evolution of her rehabilitation. In one of her latest updates, Charlotte shared details about her first isokinetic training since her operation. Flair displayed optimism and enthusiasm about the rigorous recovery process she carried out.
And now a major update on her return has come to light. Two renowned pro wrestling insiders have revealed the return timeline for the Queen. Fans can expect Flair to return and continue dominating the women’s roster as she once did before her unfortunate injury.

He said, “It looks like September is still the earliest we’ll have her return, but it looks like she is getting one step closer. Even getting stronger by the day, passing her stress test.

Well, we surely can imagine that happening, Mr. Boyce and we are as excited as one can be! And this piece of information bodes well for the WWE Universe as it matches up with the early reports of her return timeline.
Charlotte Flair’s return timeline corroborates with insider speculation
As per the recent updates that have been provided by the Queen, it seems that Flair’s rehabilitation is progressing at a very good pace. It should be remembered that the first estimates pointed to the wrestler being out of action for nine months, which would cause her to miss three of the company’s four “big four” (Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, and SummerSlam).

It seems unlikely that Charlotte Flair would be ready for the big event of the summer. Although it was estimated earlier that she would be back for the Survivor Series. On the other hand, before her injury, The Queen signed a new deal with WWE that will keep her with the company for several more years as one of the highest-paid women in the company’s history. The WWE superstar will also take her talents to the cinema, as she will be starring in an independent horror film that is currently in pre-production.
But the WWE Universe surely cannot wait for her return. As the roster seems empty without the Four Horsewomen of the WWE. With Sasha Banks now a part of AEW, Becky Lynch being a free agent, Bayley arguably experiencing a lull, and Rhea Ripley and Flair both out because of an injury. What do you think of the update? Are you excited to see the Queen return? Let us know in the comments.
