Report: Top WWE Star Going On Hiatus Following WrestleMania 39

A top WWE star is set to go on hiatus following WrestleMania 39, according to a new report. 

PWInsider Elite reported that Charlotte Flair will be taking a break from WWE, having informed WWE officials of her plans during WrestleMania weekend. 

The report added that creative plans concerning the SmackDown Women's Championship were locked in before The Queen informed them of her decision. Charlotte dropped the title to Rhea Ripley on WrestleMania night one. 

Furthermore, Flair is not expected to be backstage at this Friday's SamckDown taping. Charlotte was telling people backstage at WrestleMania that she and her husband Andrade were going to do some travelling. 

It is unknown how long the hiatus is set to last for. PWInsider's report stressed that it was a Flair decision, not a WWE one. Recent reports indicate that she is interested in pursuing outside interests in the near future. 

Charlotte spent much of 2022 away from WWE, going on hiatus after dropping the SmackDown Women's Title to Ronda Rousey at WrestleMania Backlash. During her time away, she had dental surgery and got married.

Flair returned on the December 30, 2022 episode of SmackDown, beating Rousey in an impromptu match to regain the title.
