Ric Flair says Wendy Barlow has COVID-19, Flair denies claim that he has the virus

WWE Hall Of Famer Ric Flair told the New York Post that his wife, Wendy Barlow has contracted Coronavirus and is ill with the virus. Regarding a claim that Flair has the virus, he denied it and says he is in good health.

The New York Post ran a story about Ric Flair (71) being spotted without a mask and within that article, it reads that Flair confirmed to the publication that his wife, Wendy Barlow (60) contracted COVID-19 and is currently ill with the virus. Flair informed the New York Post of that information after their photographers spotted him at a Starbucks in Georgia.

A source told the New York Post that Ric Flair has the virus and he tested positive two days prior on Wednesday but Flair denied that claim.

“That is absolutely incorrect. My wife does [have the virus]… we live in a 5,000 square foot home. I live in the basement. She lives upstairs on the third floor and she got sick.”

While attempting to ask more questions about Flair’s Starbucks run, he reportedly hung up the phone and sent a text message that his health is fine.

Over the past several weeks, Ric Flair has consistently been appearing on Monday Night RAW alongside Randy Orton. Flair delivered a low-blow to Christian on the June 15th edition of RAW and as of late, he’s been a spokesperson of sorts for Randy Orton ahead of Orton’s match with The Big Show.

John Pollock and Wai Ting will discuss this story on tonight’s edition of Rewind-A-RAW which can be heard at this link.
