According to New York Post, 63-year-old Hall underwent hip replacement surgery last week but suffered serious complications due to a loose blood clot.
The surgery took place after Hall suffered a broken hip.
"After retiring from the ring, Hall capped off a one-of-a-kind career by being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as Razor Ramon in 2014 and again as a member of the nWo in 2020," wrote WWE on their official website.
