WWE: Expected return date of Ric Flair and why he was hopitalized

Ric Flair

As reported earlier, WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair was admitted to a medical facility in Georgia which caused him to miss the NXT Takeover II event last week.

Nature Boy had to go through a surgery as a result of which he missed this week’s Smackdown TV tapings and has been sidelined for the Night of Champions pay-per-view.

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the people backstage are expecting him to be back on TV soon.

In his latest blog, former WWE announcer Jim Ross wrote the following about Flair:

“Now sources are saying Ric Flair had an appendicitis attack and then the doctors found a hernia which both are considered minor surgeries but my take on that is that no surgery is ‘minor’ when a guy is 65 years old. Details are still unconfirmed but we hope that Flair heals quickly.”
