TOP WWE STAR EXPECTED OUT NEXT SIX WEEKS

Last night's angle where Nia Jax attacked Charlotte Flair was on Raw was done to explain Flair taking an expected six weeks off from WWE TV.

PWInsider.com is told Flair will be undergoing a planned elective surgery during this time and is not injured or sick.

Flair tapped out to Asuka last night with the idea that a brawl with Nia Jax earlier in the show hurt her shoulder.  Jax attacked Flair after the match and slammed her shoulder in an equipment case backstage to explain her disappearance.  The lost to Asuka was Flair's first since November 2019.  The angle leaves Flair with a ready-made feud with Jax upon her return.

Flair's exit due to a surgery was first reported by Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer.
