During his latest podcast, Ric Flair commented on if he will sign with AEW or return to WWE:
“Yes, I would go to work for Tony Khan (AEW), I will never go back to WWE. If you take me off the opening of the show, and take the ‘wooo’ which I own – thank god, cause they’ll never get it back – and replace me with the Ultimate Warrior, a guy that sued the company, held them up for money, I guess the next thing they’re going to do with me is make a DVD with so many people saying how bad I was, like they did with the Warrior.”
“I could never work for (WWE President) Nick Khan in my entire life. Vince McMahon I could work for. Nick Khan – who is the guy who orchestrated taking me off the show, I’ve got my facts together, orchestrated taking the ‘wooo’ off, never in a million years. I talk to Vince now. I’ve got no problems with Vince. He just knows I won’t come back.”
