As previously reported,  Ric Flair’s recent health issues and condition were a topic of discussion backstage within both WWE and TNA. As you know, Flair underwent surgery a couple of weeks ago that caused him to be pulled from an appearance on the NXT Takeover: Fatal Four-Way show. According to sources, Flair was in a hospital in Gwinnett County, Georgia from September 8th until the 18th.

A source notes that Flair was initially admitted for surgery due to a hernia. However, he began suffering from significant intestinal problems due to his prescribed medications and the surgery and thus wasn’t able to keep any food down. Flair was getting nutrients via an IV bag and underwent intestinal surgery on September 16th. Flair has dropped a lot of weight and because of the surgeries, he won’t be able to do any training for about another month.

A source adds that Flair recovered nicely after intestinal surgery and was released from the hospital two days ahead of schedule.
