Charlotte Flair says she's ahead of schedule in her recovery.
Flair appeared on CNBC ‘Power Lunch’ on Monday to discuss her recent success in a stock market competition. During the discussion, she was also asked about her recovery from knee surgery.
Flair said:
I'm six weeks out Thursday. I'm ahead of schedule and every day all I can think about is returning back to the ring, especially with all the excitement of The Rock, going to Netflix, WrestleMania 40 in Philadelphia, all I can think about is getting back and winning that number 15.
Flair suffered a torn ACL, MCL, and meniscus in a match against Asuka on December 8. In early January, Flair confirmed that she underwent surgery in Birmingham, Alabama. She is expected to be out of action for nine months.
She continued:
Netflix has 250 million subscribers, so it's only going to make WWE's content more popular and WWE has always been revolutionary in whether it's Raw, SmackDown, or pay-per-view schedule.
And the Rock coming back, bringing more eyes to the product. I think sports entertainment is on a rise right now and it's just getting more and more popular every year. I think Netflix is going to be huge for everyone involved within the WWE from talent to creative to everyone who works with the programming.
