The Real Reason Charlotte Flair Is Taking Time Off From WWE

Following various reports about her current absence from television, Charlotte Flair has taken to Twitter to discuss the full details including health issues she's experienced to going back to 2018.

In the lengthy thread combined below, she said;

My air conditioning is broken, and we have a little free time. These tweets may be spaced out a bit, but we’re going to talk time off, plastic surgery and boobs. The entire world having an opinion on the topic bothers me more than I care to let on, so we are going to discuss it.I’m going to save the history of my boobs for a different bedtime story, so: Picture it. Charlotte, North Carolina, 2018. A young queen, shortly after a career defining Wrestlemania victory, finds herself sicker than sick at her brother’s house. A trip to the doctor tells us the likely culprit is silicone poisoning, and that my implant had been leaking for quite some time. It was one of the worse cases the doctor had seen. At that time, I had a few options to fix the issue. Each option had a specific recovery time. I love this job more than anything, so I picked the option that allowed me to return the soonest. That was the choice I made. Fast forward to a few months ago. Something felt off, so I went back to the doctor. Same issue again. This time, I’m going with an option that I believe will solve the issue long time, even though the recovery period is a little longer than I would like. To clarify: I do not have silicone poisoning this time. The surgery is cosmetic to fix an issue from a prior surgery. I’ll be back when I’m ready. The body will be rested, and the mind still focused on legacy. Focused on this job. Focused on being better. Always being better.

Flair hasn't appeared on WWE television since losing to Asuka on the June 22 edition of Monday Night Raw. Having been such an integral part of the broadcasts before that point (a factor many argued was to her detriment), a number of different of stories appeared offering possible explanation. This address from 'The Queen' herself has at least provided some conclusively, and all at WhatCulture wish her a speedy recovery.
