Charlotte Flair took some questions at WWE World today during a the Fanatics Make-A-Wish experience. Fanatics as the official sports partner of Make-A-Wish.
Steve Fall asked her for an update on her injury. She’s been out of action since December after suffering a torn ACL, MCL, and meniscus during her match against Asuka on SmackDown.
Flair said, “13 weeks out. I ran and jumped for the first time last week. I don’t think I’m gonna make it this weekend but you never know.” Flair then made it clear that she will be at WrestleMania to support the WWE Superstars.
Flair talked about putting smiles on people’s faces during community events. Rey Mysterio also talked about being able to connect and interact with fan at these type of events because it makes them happy. He said, “This is the connection that means the most to us.”
Flair said that these events are special because fans get to see them out of character and “they’re the heartbeat of what we do.”
On if she’s reached out to Shotzi and what advice she would give her: “I definitely have. I’ve also seen her in the WWE Performance Center. I want her to use this time to enjoy life. We’re on the road 200 and something days a year sometimes and not that having an injury is a good thing but write down your goals, write down your passions. Come band and say what did I not do when I was in the ring that I really wanna do?”
Flair said that sometimes people take for granted what they do in the ring but being injured is a time to think about what can be accomplished in the future.
On her husband being back in WWE, Flair said she’s excited for him and “happy he’s home.” Watch the media scrum below.
