As previously reported by several wrestling sites and sources, Ric Flair was hospitalized and he underwent surgery for his condition. On Raw, WWE issued a statement regarding Ric Flair’s condition, indicating that he underwent successful surgery earlier today but that he wasn’t out of the woods just yet.
Flair’s PR manager, Melinda Zanoni, tweeted the same message but also revealed that the surgery was not related to his heart.
