Charlotte Flair's husband, AEW's Andrade El Idolo, recently revealed that his spouse will "specify" her "personal reasons" for taking time off from WWE in future interviews. Most fans knew that Flair would be taking a sabbatical after losing to Ronda Rousey at WrestleMania Backlash earlier this year - she was getting married, after all.

That match was was on 8 May, and the wedding took place on 27 May. Since then, Charlotte has popped up on Steve Austin's 'Broken Skull Sessions' show as an interview guest, but hasn't dropped any major clues about when she'll return to TV full-time.

Rumours say she's in line to rival Bianca Belair during WrestleMania 39 season early next year, but most expect to see her back on Raw or SmackDown before that. Many are curious to find out exactly what her "personal reasons" (the ones El Idolo spoke of) are too.

For now, that's her business, but it does add a bit of mystery.
