This comes following a difficult few days for the reigning SmackDown Women's Champion, who became a lightning rod for controversy after last week's episode of SmackDown, on which she and fellow champ Becky Lynch worked a belt swap angle.
Drafted to the blue brand in early October, Flair was to swap her Raw Women's Title with Becky's SD belt. This went down in the main event spot. With Sonya Deville serving as the mediator, an awkward angle played out, as Charlotte dropped her Raw strap during the attempted pass-over.
A glut of reports on the situation followed. Flair was allegedly asked to leave the building after a backstage argument with Becky Lynch, who was upset at the situation, with Deville seemingly "mad enough to want to fight" Charlotte as well. A broader update on Flair's "isolated" backstage status also emerged along with the revelation that many of her peers no longer want to work with her.
WWE is yet to publically act on the matter.
