Charlotte Flair says her father, Ric Flair, is going to be okay after he was hospitalized following a fall on Friday, October 23, 2026. The WWE Hall of Famer had taken to social media earlier that day to reveal he was dealing with a blood clot in his leg, a post that came shortly before reports of the fall surfaced.
According to TMZ, Ric Flair fell outside the Wagamama restaurant in Florida and was taken to the hospital, where he was treated for cuts to his head. The exact circumstances surrounding the fall and the full extent of his injuries have not been detailed beyond the reported head cuts.
Charlotte Flair addressed her father’s condition directly on social media after news of the hospitalization broke. “Not my dad telling the doctor he fell bc of warrior dropping him on his head…(ps: he’s going to be ok),” she wrote, offering a lighthearted reference while confirming that her father’s prognosis was positive.
The update from Charlotte Flair came as the first direct family confirmation that Ric Flair was expected to recover from the incident. Her message followed closely on the heels of his own social media post about the blood clot, with the fall and subsequent hospitalization reported within the same day.
Ric Flair, a 16-time world champion and one of the most recognizable figures in professional wrestling history, has made headlines in recent years for various health scares, and updates on his well-being continue to draw significant attention from fans and media alike. As of this report, no further statements from Ric Flair himself regarding the fall or his recovery timeline have been made public.
Charlotte Flair, a decorated WWE Superstar and multiple-time champion in her own right, has remained a visible and vocal presence when it comes to her father’s health, and her comments are often the first point of confirmation for fans seeking clarity on his condition. No additional details about hospital discharge or ongoing treatment have been reported at this time.
