“The Queen” Charlotte Flair lost her SmackDown Women’s Championship to Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania 39. Since then Charlotte Flair hasn’t appeared in the company and has taken on another project outside of WWE as per the new reports.
According to the Fightful Select reports, Charlotte Flair and Liv Morgan have been cast in an upcoming wrestling-related feature film. Production for the movie will take place this June in Louisville, Kentucky. The motion picture is based on the book Queen of the Ring by Jeff Leen and will be directed by Ash Avildsen.
The former Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair is set to portray the legendary June Byers, while Liv Morgan is slated to play former Lightweight Champion Clara Mortensen. Josh Lucas has been cast as former wrestling promoter Billy Wolfe, and Marie Avgeropoulos as Babe Gordon. The veteran commentator Jim Ross recently stated on his podcast that he would also work behind the scenes on the project.
Liv Morgan recently suffered an injury during tag team match against Damage CTRL, which caused her and Raquel Rodriguez to relinquish the Women’s Tag Team Championships. It will be interesting to see when Liv Morgan and Charlotte return to the WWE down the line.
