Closing out the 4/19 episode of Monday Night Raw was Charlotte Flair versus Asuka. Current Raw Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley interfered in the match which led to Asuka pinning Flair. Charlotte took her frustration out on referee Eddie Orengo and attacked him until the show went off the air. It was then announced that Flair was “suspended” and fined $100,000 for her actions.
talkSPORT’s Alex McCarthy first stated on his Wrestling Daily show that Flair’s storyline suspension was so that she can get dental work done. F4WOnline’s Dave Meltzer confirmed the story and stated that Flair is having dental surgery.
This past Monday was Flair’s first match since early March. She had previously been out of action after contracting COVID-19.
At WrestleMania 37, Rhea Ripley defeated Asuka to become Raw Women’s Champion and Charlotte is now a part of their feud.
Last month, Asuka underwent dental surgery after losing a tooth in a match with Shayna Baszler in February. Asuka is still wearing temporary teeth and her next appointment is scheduled for June.
