On the December 8th episode of Friday Night SmackDown, Charlotte Flair faced Asuka in a competitive match that saw interference from Bayley, leading to Charlotte’s loss. Reports emerged suggesting that Charlotte Flair suffered an injury during the match, with visible distress and a subsequent announcement that she would be out of action for 9 months due to a knee injury, requiring surgery in the coming year.
WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff, speaking on his Strictly Business podcast, shared his analysis of the situation and speculated that Charlotte Flair’s injury could open the door for Mercedes Martinez’s return to WWE. Mercedes Martinez left WWE in May of the previous year after walking out during an episode of Monday Night RAW.

Bischoff acknowledged the leverage and market value that talents like Sasha Banks and Mercedes Martinez bring to the table. While discussing potential moves to AEW, he emphasized the significant financial opportunities available in WWE and advised against making decisions that might not be in the best interest of their careers. The analysis reflects the business-oriented perspective of talent movement within the professional wrestling industry, considering factors like market value, opportunities, and the financial landscape.
