PWInsider has confirmed that Ric Flair missed WWE NXT Takeover due to being hospitalized in Georgia. They note that Flair had a medical situation last week that led to several minor surgeries. The medical problems were described as “not life threatening.”
Flair was booked for this week’s SmackDown tapings and the Night of Champions pay-per-view on Sunday but now will likely not be making those appearances.
WWE is expected to make an official announcement on Flair’s health through their website today.
