It was up on the rumour mill that the legendary Ric Flair was not doing well over the past few days. The exact syndrome that caused him to remain unwell was not clarified.
However, it was speculated that his heart condition was not good and made him uncomfortable. The latest update on his condition was made available on this week’s Raw.
The commentators were allowed to focus on the Nature Boy’s condition during the live show giving us updates that he was admitted to the hospital and underwent a surgery to fix the problems dealing for this past couple of weeks. Prior to the surgery, he was sent to a coma stage. They did not reveal the exact cause that the WWE Hall of Famer is dealing with.

The surgery performed on Ric Flair is said to be successful as noted on the show. The prime commentator of WWE programming, Michael Cole has announced the following to keep the fans updated with the condition of the two-time WWE Hall of Famer,
“Welcome back to Monday Night Raw, ladies, and gentleman, and as many of you are aware, WWE Hall of Famer “Nature Boy” Ric Flair has battled a number of health issues over the past couple of days. But, we *can* report tonight that Ric underwent successful surgery earlier today. However, he is not out of the woods yet and our thoughts and prayers are going out to Ric and his family in Atlanta tonight.”
Even though the surgery was turned out to be fruitful, his condition is said to be stable and not improved, as per the latest reports. His agent published a post on her Twitter handle claiming that at this stage, the legendary wrestler needs every fan’s prayer. His family is staying by his side and the situation is getting observed by the doctors.

Other Raw commentators, Corey Graves and Booker T also prayed for the recovery of the 16-time world champion, as soon as possible and so did the others from the pro-wrestling industry.
The ‘heart-related issue’ that Ric Flair is dealing with was first disclosed by Ryan Satin of Pro-Wrestling Sheet. The Nature Boy has suffered from such concussions in the past and it is expected that growing age has caused such a traumatizing illness.
