WWE legend Ric Flair, 77, has been pictured in hospital wearing a large medical eye patch just hours after cancelling a public appearance in Seattle because of a blood clot in his leg. The former world champion shared a recovery update from Tampa General Hospital in Florida after reportedly suffering a fall outside a restaurant on Friday.
For context, Flair has experienced several serious health problems, including a life-threatening intestinal rupture in 2017. He also underwent surgery for skin cancer in 2025 and subsequently announced that he was cancer-free. His latest hospital visit followed another health setback that had already disrupted his scheduled appearance.
