Charlotte Flair provides an update on her recovery from knee surgery

Multiple-time WWE women’s champion Charlotte Flair suffered a torn ACL, MCL and meniscus in December of 2023 and has been recovering from knee surgery. While speaking to CNBC’s Power Lunch, Charlotte provided an update on her recovery…

“I’m six weeks out Thursday. I’m ahead of schedule, and every day, all I can think about is returning back to the ring. Especially with all the excitement with RAW going to Netflix, WrestleMania 40 in Philadelphia. All I can think about is getting back and winning that number 15.”

The initial belief was that Charlotte would be out of action for nine months. During a recent appearance on Busted Open Radio, Charlotte’s father Ric Flair commented on her recovery…

“So I was speaking with Dr. Dugan, he’s been there 30 years. You know what he said to me? He said since he’s been at the Andrews Clinic, 30 years, right, Ashley is one of the top three athletes, not wrestlers, they’ve ever done surgery on. Think about that. We’re talking Bo Jackson, I could go down the list of people, the Tommy Johns. He said, ‘We consider her one of the top three athletes, not wrestlers, to ever come through the doors.’ Her recovery, she’s crushing it. She’s not gonna come back faster than they will ever recommend, but it’s unbelievable. But I thought that might be one of the biggest compliments anybody could ever get. It’s unfortunate that it had to come from a doctor at a hospital, but I keep telling people, man, she’s a different kind of cat.” (quotes courtesy of WrestleZone.com)
