Charlotte Flair has shared a reassuring update about her father, wrestling legend Ric Flair, after he reportedly fell outside a restaurant in Tampa, Florida, on Friday, October 23, 2026.
In a post on X, Charlotte indicated that her 77-year-old father was expected to be okay following the incident. Her message came after reports that he had been taken to a hospital for treatment.
“Not my dad telling the doctor he fell bc of warrior dropping him on his head… (p.s. he’s going to be okay),” Charlotte wrote in her post.
Her message offered reassurance to fans concerned about the WWE Hall of Famer’s condition following reports of facial injuries.
What Happened to Ric Flair in Tampa?
According to a report by TMZ Sports, citing sources, Ric Flair was at Wagamama in Tampa on Friday morning when he reportedly got up from the bar, leaving his phone and drink behind, and walked across the street.
The report said Flair suddenly fell while outside and injured his face. Emergency medical personnel responded to the scene, and he was subsequently transported to a hospital by ambulance.
A photograph obtained by TMZ Sports reportedly showed emergency responders assisting Flair. According to the report, he sustained cuts to his head and around his eye, which was bleeding.
The extent of his injuries and whether he suffered a concussion have not been independently confirmed in the information available for this article.
Charlotte’s social media update provided a reassuring message amid the reports, although further details about her father’s treatment and recovery were not immediately available.
Ric Flair Had Previously Reported a Blood Clot
The reported fall came just hours after Flair announced that he would not be able to travel to a fan convention in Seattle because of a blood clot in his leg.
According to the information provided in the original report, his doctors had advised him against taking a long flight while dealing with the condition.
Flair has reportedly been dealing with blood clots for several months. Blood clots can be serious, depending on their location and whether they cause complications, which is why medical evaluation and treatment are important.
It has not been confirmed whether the blood clot contributed to Friday’s fall. Any connection between the two events should therefore be treated as unconfirmed.
Fans Await Further Updates on Ric Flair
Ric Flair is one of professional wrestling’s most recognizable figures, with a career spanning several decades. His legacy includes multiple championship reigns and a lasting influence on the wrestling industry.
His daughter, Charlotte Flair, has also established herself as a major name in professional wrestling.
News of the reported fall prompted concern among fans, particularly because it followed the announcement about his blood clot and travel restrictions.
Charlotte’s message that her father would be okay provided an encouraging update. However, additional information about his injuries, medical evaluation, and recovery may be needed to establish the full picture of his condition.
For now, the key confirmed detail from Charlotte’s public statement is that she offered reassurance following the reported incident. Further medical details should be attributed to reliable sources as they become available.
