WWE great Ric Flair hospitalised after Florida fall

  • October 25, 2026

She wrote: “Not my Dad telling the doctor he fell bc of warrior dropping him on his head … (PS: he’s going to be ok [sic]).”

News of the accident and subsequent hospitalisation came after Flair had earlier taken to Instagram to share a health update with fans while explaining why he had been forced to pull out of a scheduled appearance at the Washington State Horror Con in Seattle.

He wrote: “I want to sincerely apologise to my agent, Steve Solomon … and especially all my fans in Seattle for having to cancel my scheduled appearance.

“Unfortunately, I am dealing with a blood clot in my leg, and my doctors have limited my travel to 3–4 hours. Seattle falls outside that range, and as disappointed as I am, I have to put my health and recovery first.

“Blood clots are extremely serious and can be life-threatening. We have seen this recently with Jalen Hurts and the complications involving blood clots in his lungs.

“It is a reminder that this is not something to take lightly and I must follow medical advice.”

Flair added that he will be undergoing a procedure to “strip the affected vein” in the coming weeks, after which he’s hoping he will have more freedom to travel for both work and leisure.

He concluded: “Please know this decision was not made lightly. I am truly sorry for the inconvenience and disappointment and I am incredibly grateful for your patience, understanding, and continued support.”

Flair has battled numerous health issues over the years, including being diagnosed with skin cancer in 2025 for “the second time in three years”.

A month later, he told fans on social media that he was “cancer-free”.
