Backstage Update On Charlotte Flair's WWE WrestleMania 37 Status
New details on Charlotte Flair, who was removed from WWE WrestleMania 37 advertising last week.
Charlotte Flair was removed from WWE's WrestleMania 37 advertisements as a precautionary measure, reports PWInsider's Mike Johnson.
Per the report, WWE pulled the 12-time Women's Champion from promotional materials to prepare for the possibility of her not being cleared in time to return for the 10-11 April event.
Charlotte is currently recovering after testing positive for COVID-19. Flair's battle with the virus has caused her to miss the past couple of episodes of Raw, and was addressed directly by Rhea Ripley on this week's show.
Her fiancée, Andrade, tweeted on Monday that Charlotte will be cleared within four days.
Johnson notes that Flair had actually tested positive for COVID prior to tweeting about it on Monday, hence her abruptly going missing from television.
Charlotte may return to WWE television on this week's episode of SmackDown. There doesn't appear to be a clear pathway onto the WrestleMania 37 card for her at the moment, despite previously challenging Asuka to a Raw Women's Title match. Ripley now steps up for that title shot instead - and the SmackDown strap is covered by Sasha Banks vs. Bianca Belair.
All the best to Charlotte in her COVID-19 recovery.
