Flair's fiancee, Wendy Barlow, told Ryan Satin of Pro Wrestling Sheet that he was scheduled to undergo surgery July 9 to reverse an ileostomy procedure that required him to drain his waste from a pouch.
The 69-year-old had part of his bowel removed and a pacemaker installed after being hospitalized last August. He later vowed to never drink alcohol again.
