Ric Flair Posts New Photo Of Himself Heavily Bandaged Following Recent Hospitalization

Of all the weekends Ric Flair has had in his life, last weekend would likely not count among the best. Not only was Flair forced to cancel a weekend appearance due to a blood clot in his leg, but the WWE Hall of Famer fell after leaving a bar, sustaining a massive cut on his face and forcing him to go to the hospital. And Flair is still sporting the aftereffects of his fall a few days later. Taking to X on Monday evening, Flair posted a photo with a friend, where he could noticeably be seen sporting bandages over his right eye.

Flair already being out and about should come as no surprise, as his daughter, WWE's Charlotte Flair, revealed he had been behaving normally following the fall, even joking with his doctors that the injury had occurred because he was dropped on his head by the late WWE Hall of Famer Ultimate Warrior. Flair himself would take to social media after the fall and reassured fans that he was fine and would make a full recovery, while thanking medical personnel for their assistance. The background of his Monday night outing would suggest Flair was nearby Game 3 of the World Series, where the Tampa Bay Rays hosted the Milwaukee Brewers; the Rays would ultimately lose 10-1, putting them down 3 games to 0.

The fall will likely not change Flair's status regarding potentially wrestling TV appearances, as the "Nature Boy" hasn't been seen on a wrestling event since 2025. Video released in September saw Flair telling Booker T he was "back in with WWE," and was looking forward to appearing at the WWE Royal Rumble PLE. Flair later revealed the video was from years ago, and that he was still under contract with AEW.
