The health issues haven’t stopped for “The Nature Boy” as we close this piece with the most recent news to come out of the Flair camp.

In June 2025, mere weeks after making an appearance on “AEW Collision” to honor the memory of his late friend Steve “Mongo” McMichael, Flair took to social media to announce that he had been diagnosed with skin cancer. In an interview with People.com, Flair explained that he would be undergoing treatment to fight it, and that it was actually the second time in three years that he had been diagnosed with it, and that he had denied to many people that there was anything wrong with him for a long time to preserve his own privacy. The cancer diagnosis resulted in him cancelling several meet-and-greet events as he will now spend the upcoming weeks and months fighting a battle with cancer that he has already overcome once before.

Ironically, the revelation that Flair had skin cancer came just a few days after he had received a significant amount of backlash from fans online following comments he made about AEW commentator and WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross. JR, who also revealed that he has been having treatment to deal with his recent colon cancer diagnosis, was seen to be “seeking attention” according to Flair, who promptly deleted his post off of X (formerly known as Twitter), before backtracking and saying that his post was simply a joke, and that people need to stop being so serious all the time. Flair has been good friends with JR for decades, with Ross even being one of the few people to defend Flair’s TNA run, and both of them will be hoping to make full recoveries for their respective battles in the near future.
