Flair is widely regarded as one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time having shared the ring with some of the sport's biggest legends.
The Nature Boy has previously dealt with significant health issues.
Back in August 2017, the ex-WWE Champion was hospitalised with stomach pains.
A few hours later the North Carolina native suffered early stages of kidney failure and came close to congestive heart failure as a result of alcohol abuse.
The ex-US Champion's family were told he only had 20% per cent odds of surviving and was put in a medically induced coma.
The former Intercontinental Champion's doctors later removed part of his bowel and inserted a pacemaker as he regained consciousness.

What you need to know about the new Covid strain NB.1.8.1 detected in the UK
A new Covid -19 variant, NB.1.8.1, is spreading globally, accounting for over 10 per cent of infections and has been confirmed in the UK. The WHO has designated NB.1.8.1 as a 'variant under monitoring,' noting it may spread more easily but doesn't appear to cause more severe illness than previous variants. First recognised in January 2025, NB.1.8.1 has spread to the US, Australia, Thailand, China, and Hong Kong, with initial cases registered in late April, according to GISAID data. Experts suggest NB.1.8.1 can infect cells more efficiently and may trigger gastrointestinal symptoms, while common symptoms align with typical Omicron subvariants like fatigue, fever, and sore throat. Current Covid jabs are expected to remain effective against the NB.1.8.1 variant, protecting against severe illness, though the true number of infections is difficult to ascertain due to decreased testing.
