Ric Flair was hospitalized shortly after announcing he was suffering from blood clots, according to TMZ.
The WWE Hall of Famer was at a restaurant in Tampa, Florida, on Friday morning when he went out and “suddenly fell and injured his face,” according to the outlet.
Flair, 77, allegedly cut his head and eye before leaving in an ambulance.
Hours earlier, Flair told his fans on social media that he was canceling a planned appearance at the Washington State Horror Con in Seattle after being diagnosed with a blood clot in his leg.
“Unfortunately, I have a blood clot in my leg and my doctors have limited my trip to 3-4 hours,” Flair wrote. “Seattle falls outside of that range, and as disappointed as I am, I need to prioritize my health and recovery.
“Blood clots are extremely serious and can be life-threatening. We saw this recently with Jalen’s injuries and the complications involving blood clots in his lungs. This reminds us that this is not something to take lightly and that I must follow medical advice.”
Flair added that he had to undergo a procedure to treat the affected vein, which he hoped would allow him to resume his journey.
In May, Flair revealed he was suffering from “health issues” and was taking time to “focus” on his health after speaking out about what appeared at the time to be a marquee fight with his son.
In 2017, Flair was put into a medically induced coma due to multiple organ failure.
