WWE News: Update on Status of Injured SmackDown Superstar For WrestleMania 40 Weekend /

We're just a month away from WrestleMania 40, and the status of an injured WWE superstar for the mega weekend has been made a bit more clear.

Unfortunately, there are some major names who won't be performing inside the ring for this year's "Showcase of the Immortals." One of those names is CM Punk, who is believed to have been planned for a World Heavyweight Championship showdown with Seth Rollins before suffering a torn triceps injury. Shotzi is another talent who won't be featured at this year's two-night special, as she suffered a torn ACL during a WWE NXT taping.

While another huge name won't be in a match at WrestleMania 40, this former multiple-time women's champion will be present during Mania weekend.

WWE News: Massive Change To WWE Commentary Since Triple H Took Control Unveiled

WWE has announced that Charlotte Flair will be attending WWE World on April 6, the same day as night one of WrestleMania XL.

As mentioned in WWE's post on X, a VIP ticket will grant fans access to a Meet and Greet with Charlotte. "The Queen" suffered a torn ACL back in late 2023. She won't be healed in time to wrestle a match at "The Granddaddy of Them All," but one has to wonder if she could appear on camera given her confirmed appearance at WWE World.

Charlotte Flair joins two-time men's Royal Rumble winner Cody Rhodes, World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins, and Monday Night Raw color commentator Pat McAfee as confirmed names for WWE World.
