Ric Flair is recovering after undergoing surgery on Monday.
“He is out of surgery and in the recovery room. Doctors said the procedure was a success! Thank you to everyone for all your prayers and support during this difficult time,” Flair’s wife Wendy Barlow said.
The two-time WWE Hall of Famer was rushed to the hospital on Thursday morning following a non-specific “medical emergency,” which delayed his surgery.
