WWE.com posted an update revealing Ric Flair has undergone a successful surgery. The article features quotes from his daughter Charlotte Flair about why Ric elected to have the surgery and how he is doing:
“While some may have assumed that the effects [of his health problems last fall] may have slowed down my father’s lifestyle, he really embraced it all, has ended up doing more work in the last couple months than in the previous few years and is enjoying life. However, when he was told that he had the opportunity to possibly reverse some of the effects of the initial surgery, my father decided it was something he wanted to try, and he was very positive about the procedure.”
“Now, he is out of surgery, and everything looked to have gone as good as they had hoped. The only thing that remains to do at this point is to wait to make sure everything is working as it should. If it all goes well, he should be out for the hospital in the next three or four days.”
“Though he was a little groggy, we did share a ‘Woo!’ before getting off the phone, and that was how I knew everything was OK.”
