As PWMania.com previously reported, WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair told The New York Post that his wife, Wendy Barlow, has tested positive for COVID-19. According to the Post, they’ve heard from multiple sources that Ric also has the virus and tested positive for it last Wednesday. Flair claims that report is “incorrect” but the paper seems to think he just doesn’t want the news to be out.
For what it’s worth, Ric Flair was not brought into WWE’s TV tapings this week. There is no word on why WWE aired a graphic on RAW that promoted Randy Orton and The Big Show’s match and it featured Flair standing behind Orton. The Big Show also mentioned in a promo that Ric Flair would be appearing during the show so it appears the decision was made very late and there wasn’t enough time for edits. There were said to have been numerous creative re-writes yesterday, with one source saying the entire show was re-written.
While Wendy’s health is said to be improving, Flair and Barlow are still staying in the same house but say they are keeping themselves separated.
