WWE legend Ric Flair was hospitalized after falling outside of a Florida restaurant while dealing with a blood clot in his leg.

The 77-year-old retired American professional wrestler, whose real name is Richard Morgan Fliehr, said in an Instagram post Saturday that he spent the night in a Tampa hospital.

Flair had fallen outside a Wagamama restaurant in Tampa on Friday, cutting his head and eye, TMZ reported.

“Thank You All For The Messages And Prayers! I Will Get Back To You Each Individually As I Get Stronger,” Flair wrote in a post Saturday. “Thank You To All The Tampa General Hospital Staff And Doctors That Put Up With Me Until 4:30am. I Appreciate You All And Thank You For Everything You Did For Me!”

The wrestling icon said he’s on the mend.

“I Am Focused On My Healing And Recovery Right Now,” he said, adding, “I Will Be Okay!”

He shared a photo of himself smiling with a patch covering one of his eyes.

His daughter, Charlotte Flair, a WWE wrestler, joked on X about that fall, saying: “Not my dad telling the doctor he fell bc of warrior dropping him on his head…(ps: he’s going to be ok).”

Just hours before his fall, Flair had told his fans he had to cancel an appearance at the Washington State Horror Con in Seattle due to a blood clot in his leg.

“Unfortunately, I Am Dealing With A Blood Clot In My Leg, And My Doctors Have Limited My Travel To 3–4 Hours. Seattle Falls Outside That Range, And As Disappointed As I Am, I Have To Put My Health And Recovery First,” he posted on Instagram Friday.

Flair warned that blood clots are “extremely serious and can be life-threatening” and that he has a procedure scheduled to “strip the affected vein.”

“I Look Forward To Getting Healthy And Seeing You All Down The Road. Thank You For The Love And Support,” he said Friday.
