Earlier that day, Flair shared some tough news: his doctors had put the brakes on his travel plans due to a blood clot in his leg.

“Blood clots are extremely serious and can be life-threatening,” Flair wrote in his social media statement, adding that he was scheduled to undergo a procedure to address the affected vein.

Following the hospitalization, Charlotte Flair reassured fans through a post on X, writing, “(ps: he's going to be ok).” She also joked that her father had blamed the fall on The Ultimate Warrior dropping him on his head, referencing their wrestling rivalry.
