Charlotte Flair has reassured fans that her father, WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair, is expected to be okay after he was hospitalized following a fall outside a restaurant in Orlando, Florida.
Ric reportedly suffered cuts to his head and eye in the incident and was taken to a local hospital for treatment.
Charlotte shared an update on social media Friday evening, adding a touch of humor while confirming that her father was doing alright.
“Not my dad telling the doctor he fell bc of warrior dropping him on his head…
(ps: he’s going to be ok)”
The comment referenced The Ultimate Warrior, Ric’s former wrestling rival, with Charlotte joking about her father’s explanation to medical staff.
The incident came shortly after Ric announced that he would be unable to attend Washington State Horror Con in Seattle.
The 16-time world champion explained that his doctors had limited his travel to around three or four hours due to a blood clot in his leg.
Flair’s fall and subsequent hospitalization raised concern among fans, but Charlotte’s message offered reassurance that he is expected to recover.
At this time, no further details regarding the extent of his injuries or his recovery timeline have been shared.
WWE may be considering bringing back the Sin Cara character, with PWInsider Elite reporting that the company has floated the idea of reviving the masked wrestler’s gimmick.
The character was last seen in WWE in 2019, but the reported early pitches could signal a new chapter for one of the promotion’s most recognizable masked personas.
Sin Cara made his WWE debut in 2011, originally portrayed by the Mexican wrestling star known as Mistico. The character was introduced with considerable attention, bringing a high-flying style and a distinctive presentation to WWE.
However, Mistico’s run as Sin Cara was interrupted when he received a 30-day suspension under WWE’s Talent Wellness Program. During his absence, the company had Hunico take over the character.
When the original Sin Cara returned, the two performers became involved in a storyline that saw them portrayed as Sin Cara Azul and Sin Cara Negro. Their rivalry culminated in a Mask vs. Mask match at the October 16, 2011, WWE SmackDown taping in Mexico City, with the Azul character winning.
The latest report indicates that WWE has discussed the possibility of bringing the character back, though no details have been provided regarding who might portray Sin Cara or when the gimmick could return.
At this stage, the idea appears to be in the early pitching process. There has been no official WWE announcement confirming a revival, and the report does not establish whether the company has settled on a performer for the character.
If WWE does move forward, the return would revive a gimmick that has been absent from the company’s programming since 2019.
WWE SmackDown live tonight, beginning at 8:00 pm ET on the USA Network in the United States and Netflix for international fans, from the Toyota Arena in Ontario, California.

Chris Jericho is adding another notable role to his acting résumé, with the AEW star set to portray one of professional wrestling’s most influential figures in an upcoming streaming series about boxing legend Muhammad Ali.
Jericho has been cast as Gorgeous George in The Greatest, a limited series coming to Prime Video. The show stars Jaalen Best as Ali and will explore defining moments from the boxer’s life, both inside and outside the ring.
According to Deadline, the series will examine Ali’s well-documented career as well as moments away from the public spotlight, offering a portrait of the athlete as a man, husband, father, brother and son.
Gorgeous George was one of professional wrestling’s earliest mainstream stars, known for his flamboyant personality, extravagant fur coats and dramatic ring entrances set to “Pomp and Circumstance.”
Rising to prominence during the 1940s, George built a larger-than-life persona that helped bring professional wrestling to a wider audience. He was also known by nicknames including “The Beautiful Bicep” and “The Sensation of the Nation.”
A WWE Hall of Famer, George’s influence extended well beyond wrestling. His showmanship and charismatic presentation helped shape the performance styles of numerous entertainers and athletes who followed him, including Muhammad Ali.
Jericho is expected to appear in the fourth episode of The Greatest. The casting offers an opportunity for the longtime wrestler to portray a major figure from the history of his own industry.
The role adds to Jericho’s growing list of television and film appearances. He recently appeared in Apple TV’s Margo’s Got Money Troubles and an episode of CBS’ Trackers.
Jericho also revealed in April that he would be appearing in Dexter: Resurrection, continuing to pursue acting opportunities alongside his wrestling career.
Meanwhile, AEW Collision is scheduled to air live from his Rock ’N’ Wrestling Rager at Sea cruise for the first time. The broadcast is set for November 7, the same date as WWE Crown Jewel.
With his portrayal of Gorgeous George, Jericho will take on a role tied directly to wrestling history while continuing to build his presence in television and entertainment.

Avery Styles, the son of WWE Hall of Famer and TNA legend AJ Styles, may be dealing with an injury following TNA Wrestling’s recent television tapings in Dothan, Alabama.
According to Fightful Select, several wrestlers were left “banged up” following the tapings, with Styles among those reportedly affected. The young talent was seen wearing a walking boot, although no further details about the nature or severity of the injury have emerged.
As of the latest report, there has been no additional update on Styles’ condition or how much time he might miss.
Styles has been building momentum since signing with TNA at Lockdown in August. Despite having limited in-ring experience, he has already appeared alongside Frankie Kazarian and competed in the 20-man Call Your Shot Gauntlet at Bound For Glory.
On October 13, Styles defeated Joe Alonzo at TNA’s Dothan tapings. The match has yet to air on TNA iMPACT and is set to mark his first televised singles match for the promotion.
His previous appearance came in an August dark match, where he lost to Brian Myers shortly after TNA announced his signing.
Styles joined the company with only six matches on his record, including appearances for Game Changer Wrestling (GCW), making his early opportunities in TNA a notable step in his development.
At Bound For Glory, Styles entered the Call Your Shot Gauntlet at number two, starting the match alongside Trey Miguel. He managed to eliminate Mr. Elegance before being taken out by AJ Francis.
Styles was knocked out of the air and sent to the floor by Francis while attempting a springboard maneuver, ending his involvement in the match.
Kazarian ultimately won the gauntlet for the third consecutive year. Afterward, he revealed that he intended to use his opportunity to challenge for the TNA World Tag Team Championships, with Styles as his partner.
If Styles is sidelined by the reported injury, it could affect those plans, although TNA has not announced any changes to the prospective team or provided an official injury update.
For now, the extent of Styles’ condition remains unclear, and fans will have to wait for further information on when he might return to action.
WWE Raw live tonight at 8:00 pm ET/5:00 pm PT on Netflix from the Pechanga Arena in San Diego, California.
