Charlotte Flair had to be helped out of the ring after suffering a knee injury during her match with Asuka at WWE SmackDown on Friday.
The 37-year-old was noticeably favouring her right leg as the bout concluded before shouting 'my knee' as referee Charles Robinson and medical personnel attended to her after the match.
Flair struggled to complete the fight and limped in the final moments of a match that came to an abrupt end following interference from Bayley which allowed Asuka to pin her down.
According to PWInsider, the WWE superstar picked up the injury when she was 'setting up for a move but slipped and got caught on the ropes', with the outlet noting ‘wrenched her knee’.
The incident was not shown during the broadcast. There has been no update on her condition following the SmackDown Tribute to the Troops special.
