Top WWE Star Possibly Injured During SmackDown Match
This top WWE star looked to have injured their knee during last night's blue show.
Charlotte Flair seemingly injured her knee during her match with Asuka on last night's WWE SmackDown.
It was noted (F4WOnline) that 'The Queen' had to be helped out of the ring in the wake of losing to 'The Empress of Tomorrow', though social media reports from those watching on inside of the arena vary on precisely when the supposed injury went down in the contest.
Flair was evidently struggling on her left leg as the match reached its end, and it was even revealed in a video posted online by WrestlingNews.co after the bout that the former Women's Champion was shouting "my knee!" at referee Charles Robinson as she was helped in the squared-circle by medical personnel.

It's looking like either Flair's trademark moonsault to the outside or a moment when she was apparently caught in-between the ropes during the commercial break could have caused the injury, with some even assuming Charlotte had actually injured her head or neck during the latter moment.
Hopefully Charlotte Flair is not injured. She looked very slow out there and they mentioned she fell on the back of her head during commercial. It looked like they ended the match early. #SmackDown

It isn't 100% clear if the injury is as bad as it looks right now. But the star certainly appeared to be seriously struggling as she exited the arena last night.
Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery for 'The Queen'.
