Charlotte Flair Possibly Injured On WWE SmackDown

Charlotte Flair appears to have suffered an injury on this week’s episode of WWE SmackDown.

During Friday night’s show, Flair faced off against Asuka in a singles match and appeared to have been hurt during the commercial break.

When the show returned from the break, Charlotte was being checked on by referee Charles Robinson. They eventually went to a quick finish, with Asuka winning via a roll-up due to Bayley’s interference.

Following the match, Charlotte was helped to the back by WWE’s medical staff. It is said that the injury occurred as Flair was setting up for a move but slipped and was caught on the ropes. She wound up hitting her head and wrenching her knee.
