WWE fans were delighted by the news, with one commenting: “Glad you’re OK legend.”
Another used his catchphrase: “Woooooooo!!!!!”
A third wrote: “Hell yea long live the Nature Boy wooooooo!”
More reacted: “If Ric had cancer, I would feel sorry for the cancer because there’s no cancer in this world that could take out the Nature Boy.”
The rumours reportedly originated from a comment made by his son-in-law Conrad Thompson.
Flair has had health issues previously, having come through kidney failure in 2017 and a heart attack during his final match in 2022.
