After plenty of speculation about her having sustained a serious injury, the facts of the matter point otherwise. However, it’s no relief for her fans as “The Queen” revealed that she will be off television for the forseeable future.

Dive right in to find out the reasons.

Why has Charlotte Flair taken time off?

Charlotte used Twitter to vent out her frustration at some persistant issues she had faced on the platform. She also decided to Reveal why she has been off television in the same breath.

The entire world having an opinion on the topic bothers me more than I care to let on, so we are going to discuss it. I’m going to save the history of my boobs for a different bedtime story, so: Picture it. Charlotte, North Carolina, 2018. A young queen, shortly after a career defining Wrestlemania victory, finds herself sicker than sick at her brother’s house. A trip to the doctor tells us the likely culprit is silicone poisoning, and that my implant had been leaking for quite some time. It was one of the worse cases the doctor had seen. At that time, I had a few options to fix the issue. Each option had a specific recovery time. I love this job more than anything, so I picked the option that allowed me to return the soonest. That was the choice I made.

“Fast forward to a few months ago. Something felt off, so I went back to the doctor. Same issue again. This time, I’m going with an option that I believe will solve the issue long time, even though the recovery period is a little longer than I would like. To clarify: I do not have silicone poisoning this time. The surgery is cosmetic to fix an issue from a prior surgery. I’ll be back when I’m ready. The body will be rested, and the mind still focused on legacy. Focused on this job. Focused on being better. Always being better.”

It’s disgusting to see people expressing their opinion in such an uncouth manner. What someone does with their own body is honestly their own choice.

Using that to spread hate on a platform where it doesn’t affect you directly is something beyond normal human comprehension.

However, Flair has made a career out of fighting toxicity. There’s a reason why she carved a niche for herself in a male-dominated sport and has become the trailblazer for generations of young women wanting to pursue professional wrestling.

We wish “The Queen” a speedy recovery and hope to see her back on the top of the world very soon.
