Charlotte Flair Explains Why She Is Off WWE TV

Charlotte Flair has been absent from WWE television since dropping the SmackDown Women's Championship to Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania 39. 

During a recent interview with Boardroom, The Queen revealed why she has been gone, suggesting that it may be due to an injury: 

"For me, I went from having never any off-days to getting injured last year after WrestleMania and being off for seven months, and then now off again for a couple weeks for something that I needed to take care of, so it's a blessing and a curse. Like, no one wants to be injured, but having that first time off for that extended amount of time, I think was definitely healthy for my mindset".

It was previously reported that Flair planned on going on hiatus prior to WrestleMania. 

Addressing her future and potentially crossing over into film and television, Charlotte told Boardroom: 

"I'd say for the first time in 10 years, I feel like I'm in that spot now where I can look outside the box. I wanted to do all these things and nothing else mattered. Now, okay, I accomplished these. I'm more comfortable, so now, it's putting myself in positions where I'm not as comfortable. Seeing what happens, what that will look like, whether that's auditions, where do I fit in what roles, absolutely. Sports entertainment is my home, but [it's] seeing what I can take from what I've learned in the ring elsewhere".
