Ric Flair has again come out in support of Vince McMahon and even called for him to return to Monday Night Raw.
After previously stating that he wanted McMahon to return to WWE, Flair has admitted that he’s happy to see him back. McMahon returned to WWE’s Board of Directors on January 6th along with two associates after removing three other Board members.
Ric Flair Welcomes Vince McMahon Return
Speaking on a recent episode of his podcast, To Be The Man, Ric Flair said that he’s glad McMahon’s back and called for him to walk out on the 30th anniversary of Raw in Philadelphia.
“I’m personally glad he’s back. I don’t begin to know, There’s only a few people that do know and I’m not one of them. I honestly believe that he lives and breathes the business and he just said to himself, ‘I own all this stuff. It’s mine. I built it. I want back in’, and I don’t blame him. Thirty years of being on TV on Raw. Think about that. Thirty years. I mean, it’s unbelievable. I hope he walks out that door in Philadelphia, busts the door open, stands there, and struts down that aisle and says, ‘I’m back.’ The place would go crazy. I guarantee it. That will be a rating.”
Ric Flair’s comments came before Vince McMahon was elected Executive Chairman following the departure from WWE of Stephanie McMahon. She had been working as co-CEO alongside Nick Khan since McMahon “retired” back in July 2022. Khan has since been confirmed as WWE CEO.
It has also been reported that WWE has now been sold to Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund. However, it is important to note that there hasn’t been an official announcement regarding the sale from either party.
News of a potential sale hasn’t gone down well with everyone backstage with reports that one Superstar is prepared to quit over the deal.
