Charlotte Flair is gearing up for her in-ring return after being on the sidelines.

The former WWE RAW and SmackDown Women’s Champion made a recent appearance on the Conversations with Maria Menounos show, which is a SiriusXM radio series, where she revealed when she would be cleared to return to in-ring action as that will be on July 31st.

Ironically, that date is a Tuesday night where SmackDown Live airs live on the USA Network. She noted that she misses the ring and the fans as well as that it’s hard to watch the shows while she’s on the sidelines even for such a short period of time.


If you recall, Flair underwent surgery to repair a ruptured implant about a month ago. In this video below, she discussed how she learned she had the issue including delaying it as she wanted to get through WrestleMania and do a photo shoot for ESPN that was published recently.


Charlotte says when she began wrestling, her saline implants ruptured during during a match. When she woke up the following morning, they were gone. She later had them ‘redone.’ A few months ago, she began experiencing pain behind her shoulder blade.

She spoke to her trainer about the injury and tried to relieve the pain through exercises, but the discomfort persisted. Upon visiting a doctor and undergoing a mammogram and ultrasound, Charlotte’s doctor found that she had free floating silicone in her chest due to the ruptured implants.
