Charlotte Flair has revealed the advice she shared with Shotzi, who suffered a torn ACL recently.

Shotzi was challenging Lyra Valkyria for the NXT Women's Championship back in February. Things went awry when Shotzi went for a DDT on Lyra onto the ring apron. When Shotzi landed on the outside, she suffered the injury that has now put her on the shelf.

Charlotte also suffered a torn ACL at the end of 2023, and she had some words of wisdom for the fellow SmackDown superstar.

During a media scrum at WWE World, I asked Charlotte if she had any words of encouragement for Shotzi on her road to recovery. "The Queen" actually did have some advice for her colleague.

Earlier today, I asked Charlotte Flair (@MsCharlotteWWE) if she's reached out to Shotzi (@ShotziWWE) with advice on her road to recovery from a torn ACL. Her message was all about a positive mindset #WrestleMania pic.twitter.com/swWPjKW41T

"I definitely have," Charlotte revealed. "I've also seen her in the WWE Performance Center. I just told her to kind of use this time to enjoy life. We are on the road 200 days a year sometimes, and not that having an injury is a good thing, but write down your goals, write down your passions. Come back with, 'What did I not do when I was in the ring that I really wanted to do? What do I wanna come back and accomplish?' Think about that every second, every minute, every day. I know when I first started all I could think about was, 'What's it gonna be like to main event WrestleMania? And nothing's gonna stop me.' So, she needs to find a goal that terrifies her and think about that. Even if it's like, travel somewhere you've never been."

Charlotte said that times like these call for a positive mindset. The multple-time world champion believes Shotzi has an opportunity to use this setback as fuel to elevate her game.

"Life is too short, and I think as well, we take for granted what we do. With my knee I'm just like, 'How am I not here?' I mean, I am with you guys, WrestleMania 40. But like, there's so many things I should've done in the fall. Don't look at it as a negative, look at it as a positive to come back bigger, better, stronger, faster."
