-- On WWE Friday Night Smackdown a couple of weeks ago, Bianca Belair and Charlotte Flair teamed up and were victorious but after their match, Damage CTRL attacked Belair backstage and attacked her knee. While WWE had been playing off knee issues for Belair since SummerSlam, the injury is not legitimate and is only being used for storyline purposes to write Belair off of TV for the time being.
-- Fightfulselect.com is reporting that there is a planned leave of absence for Belair for "some time" and that was factored into creative plans. The only detail that remains unclear is how long Belair will be gone for as the backstage chatter has ranged from a few weeks (ie. less than a month) up to possibly three months. If it's the earlier timetable, she should be returning within the next couple of weeks but if it's the latter, it will keep her off TV until shortly before Survivor Series.
