Flair is a 14-time women’s world champion and looks certain to surpass her father Ric’s record of 16 world title victories at some point in the future. Still, it now appears she is set to miss some time from the ring, and considering WrestleMania season is fast approaching, the timing couldn’t be worse, with it likely WWE intends for her to feature in a prominent match on one of the nights.
