“The Nature Boy” is “#AllElite.”
WWE Hall of Fame legend Ric Flair made his surprise All Elite Wrestling debut on this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite on Wednesday night at the Liacouras Center in Philadelphia, PA.
Flair was revealed as Tony Khan’s special gift to “The Icon” Sting as he prepares for his road to retirement at AEW Revolution 2024.
“The Nature Boy” came to the ring and joined Sting before the two, along with Darby Allin, were confronted by Christian Cage, Luchasaurus and Nick Wayne. The trio would ultimately challenge Sting and Darby Allin to find a partner for a Trios bout at AEW Full Gear 2023. Sting accepted and AEW confirmed the bout.
