Lex Luger is shutting down a viral rumor that falsely claimed he had been hospitalized.
On March 7, 2026, the Sportskeeda Wrestling Facebook page circulated a post that read “BREAKING: WWE LEGEND HOSPITALIZED” alongside a photo of Luger. The post quickly began spreading across social media, leading some fans to believe the WWE Hall of Famer was dealing with a serious health issue.
Luger wasted no time responding once he became aware of the claim. Taking to Twitter/X, he directly addressed the rumor and made it clear the report was completely inaccurate.
“Hey Everybody. I was just made aware of this. False news!! I’m doing great!! Weekend off relaxing at home enjoying some hoops and my Buffalo Sabres hockey😊💪👊”
His message immediately reassured fans while also calling attention to the misleading social media post that sparked the confusion in the first place.
Despite the rumor spreading online, it’s important to note that Ringside News never reported that Luger was hospitalized. In fact, a commenter attempted to link Ringside News to the claim in an effort to drag the site into the situation, but that narrative is completely false. Ringside News takes accuracy seriously and does not publish unverified health rumors about wrestlers.
Misinformation spreads quickly online, especially when headlines use alarming language designed to generate clicks. In this case, Luger himself stepped in to correct the record and confirm that he is doing just fine while spending the weekend relaxing and watching sports.
