Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair had one of the best matches of the night at WrestleMania BackLash. The match was an ‘I Quit’ match which saw Rousey winning her first SmackDown Women’s Championship.

The Baddest Women on the planet made The Queen say the words ‘I Quit’ when she locked her into an armbar through a steel chair. However, Charlotte Flair just didn’t say the two words to lose her prestigious championship, but also suffered a distal radius fracture.

We can say the match was a brutal one, as the prominent women of the blue brand went all-in for the top price of the women’s division of SmackDown.

Pat McAfee also talked about what is a distal radius fracture. The radius is one of two forearm bones and is located on the thumb side. The part of the radius connected to the wrist joint is called the distal radius.

When the radius breaks near the wrist, it is called a distal radius fracture. Most distal radius fractures take 3 months to heal before the patient can return to all activities; full recovery from these injuries will require almost a year.

As per the reports, Charlotte Flair will be out of action from WWE as the company has given her some time off. She was on the road continuously before. This feud with Ronda Rousey will give her a chance to take a break and return later for her rematch.

WWE has not yet announced how much time The Queen will take to recover. It seems they want to keep Charlotte Flair off TV for some time.
We can speculate that The Queen will be available directly for the UK event Clash at the Castle at Cardiff. She will have her rematch against Rousey when she returns.
