A major WWE star was confirmed injured after missing the June 26 SmackDown taping.

Charlotte Flair advanced to the Queen of the Ring semi-finals to face the Women’s World Champion, Liv Morgan, last week on the blue brand. Ahead of their match, The Queen was attacked backstage by Jade Cargill, B-Fab, and Michin. The faction targeted Flair’s surgically repaired knee.

Despite being injured, the 14-time world champion insisted on wrestling Morgan. The Judgment Day member eventually picked up the victory by taking advantage of Flair’s injury. Following the match, medics rushed to check on the hurt and emotional Queen.

Charlotte Flair Misses 6/26 WWE SmackDown

The June 26 episode of SmackDown was taped last Tuesday in London, England. Following last week’s attack and loss in the Queen of the Ring tournament, Charlotte Flair missed the show.

In an interview with Jackie Redmond backstage, the former Women’s Tag Team Champion’s partner, Alexa Bliss, provided an update on her condition.

I mean obviously Charlotte is feeling the physical pain, but I think she’s also feeling the emotional pain as well.

Little Miss Bliss then promised to get revenge on Jade Cargill, even if she had to join forces with the Women’s United States Champion Tiffany Stratton. Tiffy Time later approached the former SmackDown Women’s Champion backstage, where the two agreed set aside their differences and work together for one night only before partying ways.
