Flair took to X to post an emotional update after postponing the same event for the second time in recent weeks.
The 76-year-old wrote: “To all my dear friends and fans, I am so sorry, that I will not be able to see you on Tuesday.
“I have health issues, that I need to attend to. As I have procrastinated putting my health first in the past, melanoma, I have found out, is nothing to play with.
“I promise to see you ASAP. Please continue to love Ric Flair Drip, As @_RicFlairDrip loves you.”
The 16-time WWE champion had denied his diagnosis in recent weeks before bravely revealing his situation in an interview with People.
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, as this is the second time he’s had skin cancer.
Back in August 2017, the ex-WWE Champion was hospitalised with stomach pains.
Known as ‘Nature Boy,’ Flair rose to prominence in the 80s and 90s with the WCW and WWF
A few hours later, Flair suffered early stages of kidney failure and came close to congestive heart failure as a result of alcohol abuse.
Flair’s family were told he only had 20 per cent odds of surviving while he 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.
Flair is the only WWE superstar to have been inducted into the Hall of Fame twice.
He was first inducted in 2008 for his individual career before making it again four years later as a member of The Four Horsemen.
The North Carolina native continued to wrestle well into his 60s and made an appearance at 2019’s Wrestlemania 35.
Flair has periodically made appearances at wrestling events, many times performing alongside his daughter Charlotte, who is now a major WWE star.
His son Reid tragically died of a drug overdose in 2013.
