Ric Flair Apologizes For Leaving AEW Blood & Guts Early Due To Rotator Cuff Injury

Ric Flair was advertised to appear at AEW Blood & Guts alongside Ricky Steamboat in Greensboro, NC. Steamboat made an appearance on the live show, working a segment with FTR (Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler) & Stokely Hathaway.

Flair was not part of the segment, but appeared in front of the crowd before the show went on air.

On social media, Flair explained that he was nursing a rotator cuff injury, which caused him to leave the show early.

I Want To Apologize To Everyone For Having To Leave The @AEW Show Early Last Wednesday Due To My Rotator Cuff Injury. I Appreciate @TonyKhan Giving Me The Opportunity To Be On The Show. It Was Nice Catching Up With All The Great Talent And Ricky Steamboat. I Look Forward To Being Invited Again. After I Have My Shoulder Healed Up, I Will Be Back Up & Running. I Just Want You All To Know That I Would Never Disappoint You Intentionally.
